What is Talas on Fox forks?
TALAS stands for Travel Adjustable Linear Air Spring, and while the name remains, the spring curve is not linear. Fox engineers developed an entirely new adjustable-travel air spring that closely resembles those used in Float forks. The difference in travel remains 30mm—changing from 130mm to 120mm in the low setting.
How do you adjust a Fox Talas?
Turning the TALAS lever toward the “+” (clockwise) sets your fork in the long travel mode. When adjusting to long travel mode, your fork will extend once unweighted. Turning the TALAS lever toward the “-” (counter-clockwise) and compressing the fork sets your fork in short travel mode.
Do Fox shocks have serial numbers?
