I have the fox 32tc on my cross bike and I love it. I currently use it to commute, run errands, gravel, single track. Works for my everything bike and has allowed the single track rides to be longer and faster

They must have stanchion guards for those forks otherwise they will get scratched to bits in no time.

I have a Velo Orange Neurino mini Velo and I can totally recommend this bike type for making urban riding more fun and accessible, but I also ride gravel trails with it on its 50mm Schwalbe Billy Bonkers tires.

Reversed gravel fork isn't new at all. A matter of fact, Cannondale had been making single stanchion, reversed fork for years.

Heel rub is a badge of honour. Only Cafe posers need diamond coating.

It was the UK’s PACE
circa ‘93.

Knowledgeable and entertaining reviewer.

I find it shocking or laughable or something that there is a market for 6,8,$10,000 BICYCLES and absurdly priced components however. Oh the opportunity cost…

cant wait to see all the stone chips on those exposed stanchions. Theres a reason why upsidedown forks never took off 20 odd years ago. but new people dont research history of their 'new ideas'

9:07 💯 I love the new Ritchey Montebello, it feels like it’s just the right combo of classic design and tech. That’s one bike I’m looking forward to building up this year.

MTB industry is led by fashion now, not by technology, and tries to push to ritch kids(and not just) same junk technology that used to be out there in the 90s, but now it's "cool" and costs 10x more. This starts to put me off from being a "biker", as bikes became just like iPhones and every other consumer short-lived tech-you buy the new model which is not even marginally better, but just has the new paint pattern and has the cool new GRIP6 damper which is 6 times "more better" than the old year's GRIP5. Then, the next year comes and the paint pattern is cooler and GRIP7 is out and you decide to be humble and just upgrade the fork and give another last chance to your "old" bike, but surprise – the industry has thought about cheaters like you – your bike has the old 1.5" Taper standard and you cannot fit the new cool fork which is produced only in the latest 1.8" SuperTaper standard and you feel so ashamed of your bike that you don't even go out there to ride it as it does not give you the 0.7% gain that your friends have now, so you spend your free time looking at the brainwash videos of the new tech and gain weight instead.

That new fox 32 looks like the arch will be VERY bad with collecting trailage. Supposed to be super light but looks like it can hold 5lbs of mud

7:28– When did $4000 for a carbon road frameset become reasonable? Plus, 750 more for a paint job? I must live in a different world.
