2010 Boxxer Team Review

I have now had my 2010 RockSHOX Boxxer teams for just over two months. They have helped me steer down 4 Races so far, One I even took the top spot!

I got mine from TF tuned. Before you even get them TF sort them out for your style of riding and your weight/height. Also they re size the bushes so they don't go on you as fast and they give you a free first service which is worth £90!

After two months of riding and talking to others about their Teams this is what I have discovered. Buying straight from the shop in each case people have said no fork oil or not enough had been dropped in the bottom of the lowers. As for springs a light, medium and heavy one come with the forks as well as two crowns so you can choose from a flatter crown or one with more of a rise. In my forks the spring started to rattle around in the leg so that's when I used my first service. If this happens to yours in most cases what you need is a preload spacer.

Everyone however loves them. The adjustability is incredible! Low and high speed compression, ending and starting stroke rebound. You even get a bottom out hardener and all this is external! They are miles ahead of the rest of the field. Set up right the feeling is so plush, even with the 35mm uppers keeping it firm and stronger than previous boxxers. They feel like how a fork should and the amount of confidence they give you is something else!

All forks have their problems and you cant stop that. Try and preserve them for as long as possible and always clean round the seals! Watch you don't leave your bike sitting where it could slip and the uppers get scratch (speaking from personal experience!)

Look after them and they will look after you!
