2006 boxxer race manual

The first 4 inches of travel is very important and must be "buttery" smooth for the first portion and be able to ramp up very quickly for a big hit. Fork diving is really not an issue, because she does not travel at very high speeds. Think a-line and dirt merchant …. That is her style of riding.

Like IFO said, you've got infinete adjustments with an air spring. This fork will be as supple or as firm as you want it to be. One thing to note, just because its a "race" fork does not mean its not a good freeride fork.

Actually, the best race forks are the best freeride forks because they've got the best damping and lightest weight. Boxxers are quite supple in the first few inches. If for some reason they are not, there's something not right with the fork. The newer ones from '03 to '05 are far superior to the old glide ring taperwall legs of the older, US made versions. For '06 they're using motion control damping which in my mind, is probably the best performing compression damping system on a stock fork today, for beginners and pro level racers.

Don't sweat it dude, its a great choice. Have you considered the '06 Team with a softer spring rate? I would only ask why you would switch it up if she's not racing? Is the upgrade worth 2g?

Finances are not really a huge consideration at this point in my career. I have the money so why not use it? The loss is 2lbs off the front of a bike is HUGE for women riders remember she is only lbs. While she does not race, she does not get left behind on a-line and dirt merchant either and can almost make every tranny. I am thinking the light fork will assist in her control of the bike and the ability to manual.

I just want it be best suited for her and a comforable ride overall is always the primary consideration for a lot of women riders. I'll give you an analogy ….. Women like miata's because they look nice, and provide a nice comfortable ride.

Arguably each is still a sport car, but you catch my drift? So what I really need is a big hit fork, that acts in a comfortable smooth manner most of the time. I like what I am hearing so far. Actually men love Corvettes because they think it will make younger women sleep with them. The car stuff is just a bonus.

Despite the reputation of the having a high axle to crown height, I just measured my wifes bike and hers came in at mm. This is from the mid axle point to the top of the lower crown where the headset rests.

Keep in mind that she has a 7" fork and is running Risse Low rider crowns. Also has an intergrated stem which keeps the handlebar lower as well.

I don'twant to raise the front any higher than mm, so the boxxer may be out of the question. Anybody know the axle to crown height of the boxxer???
