Travel Adjustable on 32-Series Forks?

I have been toying with the idea of picking up a new Fox 32mm fork for my Blur 4X - I still have to figure out their new naming system and the whole Float vs. F-series thing, but nonetheless, I am wondering if you can still internally adjust the travel on their air forks...IIRC it is possible on some models but not others? I don't want a travel-adjust fork, I just want to set it and forget it.

Thanks for any help!

I don't think the 32's are adjustable as those are the race fork and made as light as possible. No extra rods or spacers in there. But they are available in a I think 100 and 120 and maybe more.

You can adjust travel on all the air forks. Some more than others.

The main difference with the F-series forks and float series is the the amount of stanchion sitting in the lowers. And of course the travel.

If you want a Fox 4X fork get the 831. Essentially a Float 150 but travel set from 80-120mm and a firmer compression tune and the lockout threshold removed.

Sounds like the Float will have more stancion overlap - probably a good thing for me. F-series is out then.

Right now I'm using this as my do-everything bike, so that means lots of trail riding. Not sure if the 831 would feel overdamped for me, although it does look pretty nice. I have a Pike right now and don't really have any problem with it but I'm just partial to Fox these days and would like to match the feel of my RP23 a bit better.

All floats are adjustable on the spring side, between 150, 140, 120, 90, and 80 with the simple removal and install on a pin and spring top outs cap. Lemme get a float in for a travel adjust and ill do a write up!
