I was wondering if a fox vanilla would be able to handle, urban, dj, park?
Fox Vanilla?
- Thread starter bmorekirby
- Start date
I don't known if it could handle urban... Urban is pretty gnar.
I did urban on mine, but I wasn't pushing it doing DJ or park, just trail and urban. I sold it at the year mark so I don't know if it would have ultimately broken.
Compared to any comparable fork out there I think the Vanilla is equally capable for any type of riding.

My buddy used a Fox Vanilla for urban, and broke it after about 9 months of use. Now keep in mind that he's 24 and rides like a pro. So he pounded onit pretty hard...
methinks Zedro should be banned from the roll eyes smiley, he seems to use it in every post...
either that or he should add it to his sig. and save himself the work.
one last thought, RM I propose Zed's custom title to be...

Definetly don't get one. As DBR posted i broke mine and it was after 10 months of heavy use then like 6 of just XC and light djing. I had lots of troubles with the insides of the fork as the first time it was rebuilt it came back feeling like **** completely hard and not how it did. I then got it rebuilt before i built up my heckler adn the first weekend of rough riding it saw it exploded. I then let it sit there all summer while i was gone on a trip with mr dbr. Came back and was going to sell it and it broke when i was pulling on out with my hands to see if it had a crack and it blew up in my face.
Don't get a DJ, I have one and wish I had saved a little longer and bought a vanilla. DJ wiegh alot and don't feel very good. For the money they wor but it would have been worth it to me to buy somthing a little nicer.
ya i dont know why the DJ was mentioned (ahhh, marketing...), since it has the bottom of the barrel damping. A QR-20 Z1 would seem more analogous to the Vanilla performance-wise.fireman said:
