Customer Review: Fox Shox 34 Float 140mm FIT4 29" Fork 2017

By Tommy

I was working on a mountain bike build and was looking for the Fox Shox 34 Float 140mm FIT4 29" Matte Black/Orange Boost 15x110mm 51mm 2017 because it is a perfect fit for my Yeti SB 4.5c. While there are many reviews out there regarding this shock, I will share my overall experience. As a new Worldwide Cyclery customer, I found that they initially didn't have the shock I wanted in stock. However, after requesting more information on when it would be available I was surprised when only a few minutes later they reached out to me. The gentleman, Alex, let me know they could get one to me within a week or so. Fortunately, I wasn't in a rush as there were plenty of other parts on order and to be picked up. This being a bigger ticket item on the build list I wanted to make sure that I got a good deal and also had the support I needed if something went wrong. The responsive nature of the folks at Worldwide Cyclery made me comfortable that both of those boxes were checked.

Now to the fork. It arrived faster than I had expected and was incredibly nice! I love when a company under-promises and over delivers. It really was a breeze to setup and didn't take long to get dialed in to my preferences. There are plenty of YouTube videos to assist with installation as well. Fox knocked it out of the park with this fork and after riding a few of the other alternatives on the market I really couldn't be happier with my decision. After the first 10 rides I can say its super buttery and makes rock gardens and bombing downhill feel effortless. The climb function is also nice and helps me get to the top much quicker. At this point I cannot comment on the reliability or really tell the difference between descent and trail mode, but I've kept it in trail mode 90% of the time and I've had too much fun to change it. It's perfect!

From a style perspective: If I were a rapper I'd have a Kashima grill. The Orange stickers are pretty sharp looking but be sure to check out the Fox Heritage Decal Kit offered by Worldwide Cyclery on this site to color match your whip. I am scooping up some of the Turquoise ones because as you will see from the pic of this project bike it should make for a slightly cleaner look. Whatever you decide, just remember if you don't get it from Worldwide Cyclery you will be filled with regret and possibly far too sad to go out and enjoy your new fork. Hopefully this helps! ;)
