Im looking to buy the new down hill bike. I was looking Santa cruz V10 C but had concerns over the quality of the fork (FOX 40 Float Performance Elite). if anyone could share their experience it would be much appreciated. If you also have suggestions for other downhill bikes in this price range it would be helpful. thanks!
40s in general are fantastic. I wouldn't worry about it being a performance one, lacking kashima doesn't matter and although I haven't ridden that particular fork I've spent a month on the fit4 damper in a 36 Factory and thought it was one of the best forks I've ever ridden.
