New Bos Idylle RaRe (Race Ready)
- Thread starter sethimus
- Start date
sounds interesting...
But will they be better than the Idellye Pros???
Im holding off for either the pro or the New boxxers

Sounds like it's in between the two. Maybe lighter than the pro, since it's minus the extra chamber, but more adjustable than the standard?
theyre rolling out all new products...single crown DH fork, and sunday linkage w/ shock
Way to jump on that train at the right time...
itll go great w/ my sam hill replica bike
is the stuff really available?
according to Tftunedshox website the forks have been postponed a few times (september 08 to february or march 09) etc. etc.
any info on the pricing of the RaRe?

Yeah, some forks are delivered, here is my Sunn Radical with a Idylle, a friends Radical with a Stoy, and another friends Intense SS with Stoy & N'Dee.
Just checked the weight of my Radical today, and it is 16.7 kg / 36.8 Lbs with the BOS fork.
Think the new RaRe will be 1990 Euros btw

first wave of profits should be re-invested in a graphic designer to whip up ads of comparable quality to the products they offer.
How does your friend like the stoy on his radical. I could be tempted for mine
In all honesty I'm betting they realized the external reservoir isn't necessary (possibly overly complicated to produce?) and they combined technology from that fork into the non-reservoir chassis. I wouldn't be surprised if in a years time the RaRe is the top offering from BOS and the idyll pro disappears quietly out the back door.
i'm thinking the fact the morewood team is on this fork and not the idyll pro is the writing on the wall . . .

Wow, maybe you guys in Europe are less sensitive to their pricing as many bike parts are higher priced over there, but....
$2500 for a fork??
$800 for a shock??
$1000 for a shock on a Sunday???
For non-custom, off the shelf products...
Sounds like a perfect 'mid life crisis' product to me.

It's pretty similar here but that's why any1 smart won't buy anything from our local distributors
Just be smart and look for us/uk/mainland eur deals.
with almost 5,000 Sunday frames sold so far, I'm sure there is a market, but then again what does Olivier Bossard know anyways...Way to jump on that train at the right time...
not for me, a dhx 5 is normally 400-450eur here online. + push/motopitkan tuning ~160eur. stoy retails for 670eur online. so they are in the same league. the idylle fork goes for 1340eur, the pro 1990eur (same as the new dorado). a fox 40 is 1750eur. not bad for european made products.
ps: have you ever seen the prices for intense products in europe? now THAT'S ridiculous!
how much is a M6 or Socom over yonder?
m6 with revox 3700eur and the socom goes for 3300eur (with dhx 5). they are a little bit cheaper in the uk, but only because their currency suxx
your intense distributor is not ms-intense, right?
3700euro???? jesus christ
you can get two 40's for 1450 euros? awesome deal
big price difference b/w your two countrys for the same bike
The stoy is "custom" tuned for your bike. They have several (like 8 or something) tunes for different kinds of bikes.
I think with a fork custom tuning isnt that important because al forks have a 1:1 leverage.
As far as I know they already had it for over a year.Way to jump on that train at the right time...
About the pricing. A CCDB is 2x as expensive as a Stoy for me.
Yeah, Patrick Morewood has been rocking the Idylle since December and Fabien Cuisine has had his for months now although he's a Bos team rider.
What about the price of a Yeti 303 frame - 4700 eur! WTF? Demo 8 ll complete with 40's, X.0 etc. sells for the same money over here.
Quoted for amusement. Europe is not 'a' country it is many countries.
The Euro is in use in many countries, including Germany (home to Sethimus) and Ireland (home to Al).
Well I found out today that the new dorados uk price was £2399.
If the bos is 1990euros by the way the exchange rate is the bos will be £2000 that 400 cheaper than the dorado and I'm pretty sure they will be better.
Dorados are always over hyped but then again so is the bos,40s, and the boxxers.
Only time will tell and performance wise how they fair.

Seems, you didn't understand IH8RICE. He clearly stated opinion it is is a big difference in price between Germany and Ireland although they are both members of EU and use the same currency.
man, 2400 for turdados? more expensive than BOS? i find that hard to comprehend, considering the reputation both companies/products have.
sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. last december i bought my 2008 sx trail frame in the uk. frame + king + shipping was like 1050eur. frame only here is 1700eur...
cool to see they are finally available
anybody here who can do a small writeup about the fork based on "real World" riding experience

hmmm...
according to you here: http://www.ridemonkey.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3107511&postcount=10 there are 4 tunes available..not 8.
According to this, http://www.bos-engineering.com/pdf/Stoy-Chart-List-22-12-2008.pdf there are a total of 5 stock tunes. The fifth is used solely on the yet to be avaialable Makulu. Adjustments for riding style, weight, and spring rate are made by the user via external knobs.
Every shock that I have had custom tuned involves a fair bit of conversation about my personal preferences, what I perceive as needing to be changed, how I would like my shock to work, my weight, riding style, spring rate, terrain, etc....
If you read my original post, I made this exact hypothesis/statement. I am sure they will be a good product and it is great for you guys to see a product made 'locally' at a better price (vs what 'American' brands end up costing in Euro). This is a US based board, and I was making a point about how expensive BOS products are HERE (not including shipping or the fact there is no distro/service/parts here).
They just wont have any market penetration at all in the US at those prices.

your problem is that you expect them to be cheaper. we dont expect this because we ALLWAYS pay more. every damn product over here that is sold in your country too is 10-20% more expensive...
Naah. Eurobrands are more expensive in us in most cases. There are simply more well known gravity oriented companies in the us so it seems that way. That doesn't change the fact that everybody whines about every one of them
