The following are the changes in the
2006 line:
• FLOAT™ 130 XTT: This fork contains a further evolution of
the successful TERRALOGIC™ system, in its new TrailTune (TT) set-up.
Compared to the original TERRALOGIC, the XTT system does not
differentiate between open and closed/locked out, but between
ProPedal™ and Open. Perhaps not as solid under sprinting conditions,
the fork nevertheless rides smoothly and efficiently at all times,
without remaining in a top-out position during climbs, but accepting
a normal, evenly balanced state with sag. The FLOAT 130 XTT sets
new standards for Marathon-Enduro type forks.
• TALAS™ XTT: Travel Adjust meets TerraLogic. FOX
took its
two most advanced technologies, TALAS™ and TerraLogic™ and combined
them to create the TALAS XTT, giving riders the first travel
adjustable, inertia valve trail fork.
• TALAS™: For 2006, FOX improved the TALAS
system, by making it even easier to adjust travel on the fly,
anytime, any ride. The new TALAS three position lever can be
adjusted with a quick 90 degree sweep of the lever, setting the fork
at 130mm, 110mm or 90mm of travel for 32mm forks and 160mm, 140mm
and 120mm for 36mm forks. The TALAS Linear Air Spring rate keeps the
spring curve consistent at any travel so your ride is never
compromised.
• 36™: The 36 line receives a new addition, the 36 VAN
which will have coil springs and be the new fork of choice for Bike
Park people, Dirt Jumpers and anyone else who wants the ultimate in
FOX plushness. All 36 forks will increase to 160mm of travel.
• DHX Air: The DHX 5.0 damper technology is mated to the
legendary FLOAT Air Spring technology to produce the ultimate
FreeRide and Downhill shock. The DHX Air reduces the weight for
shocks in this category by 50%, compared to an actual DHX shock.
• FLOAT™ RP3: This already very successful shock was further
developed for 2006 with the goal to more strongly differentiate the
3 ProPedal settings, and to give even more plushness on big and fast
bumps.
• All Disc only versions of forks will have the new integrated cable
guides. The new integrated disc brake guide takes the hassle out of
disc brake cables. The guide will be standard on all 32mm disc only
forks as well as all 36 and 40 models.
