If you were to pit a rockshox vivd air against a fox x2 air (performance), which would you want on your everyday bike?

As far as I see it, both are burly, rockshox is a bit cheaper, the fox has the climb switch. Rockshox has a few more bells and whistles at that price point, but fox gives you less dials to screw up! It'd be going on a longish travel 29er and raced maybe 4-6 times a year. The rest on a mix of off-piste trail, bike parks and long days out on the peak district.

I'm sure I'm about to open the gates of hell with this post. Aaaaaaaand go

Owned both, both are good, the Fox has a climb switch and probably has the edge on performance anyway.

It's got more dials too, hasn't it?

Fox dpx2 is worth a look too.

Location and taste probably comes into it, but around 146 pints, I'd say.

Was looking at the performance fox so it's just got low speed I think compression and rebound. Not an issue as I tend to run high speed open
