My 2014 Evolution CTD Fork & shock are due a service, I can upgrade the fork to a FIT 4 damper at the same time (Mojo) for an extra £75.

I've no complaints about the way they are TBH, by wondering if the upgrade worthy of £75...?

From what I've read, it's worth it. £75 and is supposedly transforms the fork.

I've learned today that TF Tuned are releasing a Push Tune for the Evo CTD shock in a few months.

Yes, the evo cart is pretty bad, reliability and performance wise

Sorry to barge in, I've got a 2015 34 factory with CTD Adjust FIT. Is the new damper a worthwhile investment?

At £220 RRP (i think) for the FIT4 adjust probably not enough of an upgrade to reflect the cost.

Where do you see the fit upgrade as +75? Is it on the service list? I thought it was a lot more (2014 float evo CTD here...)

Here http://www.mojo.co.uk/2015-service-prices/

Although in retrospect I think that means the services cost for an already upgraded fork 😳

Ah well, service only for me then.

The thread that I originally saw the FIT4 upgrade in was a guy who managed to negotiate a similar price as it was a warranty repair.

They let him upgrade for next to nothing!

Now you see, you say that but I'm not inexperienced and although I've not ridden a FIT4 cartridge fork, I wouldn't say my Fork is the worse I've ridden, and its still going fine after 18 months of riding and racing without a service. The 2012 SID I had on the other bike was twice as harsh, and yes I have read, re-read and attempted all of the setup concoctions.

Both fork and shock are going somewhere for a service, but I don't have a spare £225 for the FIT cartridge unfortunately.

Anyway, what goes wrong with them?

I had my 2013 Fox 34 upgraded to FIT4 and Serviced for £184 all in using the offer Mojo had last October. I posted links to the offer back then to another thread.

Is it worth it? Everyone I talked to before ordering said absolutely yes, get it. I don't know yet. Haven't really ridden that bike in anger properly as I've been riding the wheels off a shorter travel bike through the winter.

I have decided to add the Push Industries Air Volume spacer though. For the money I had it done it was a no brainier.
