Explore 34 Step-Cast Mountain Bike Forks
LOWER LEG BYPASS CHANNELS
As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. Our lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping.
Another benefit of these channels is that lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel.
2022 Fox 34 SC Review | Lighter & more adjustable, the 34 Step-Cast sets a new standard
Wil reviews the Fox 34 SC fork
The Fox 34 SC (Step-Cast) first arrived in 2018 as a slimmed-down version of the standard 34 fork. Aiming to bridge the weight gap to the super-light 32 SC, the 34 SC was a unique performer in that it offered the smooth and controlled feel that trail riders wanted, albeit in a significantly lighter package. This made it surprisingly versatile, with the 34 SC finding its way onto the front of contemporary XC bikes such as the Trek Top Fuel and Specialized Epic EVO. Fox’s main competitor has since hit back however, with the RockShox SID raising the bar in the 120mm arena, both in terms of weight and on-trail performance. We wouldn’t have to wait long for a response, with Fox rolling out an entirely new 34 SC for 2022 that is aiming to kick the SID off the top step.
All-new for 2022
Reengineered from the inside-out, the Fox 34 SC enters its second generation for 2022. It still features 34mm diameter stanchions, and it’s still primarily designed as a lightweight 120mm travel fork, though it’s also available in 100 and 110mm travel configurations too.
Compared to the old fork, much of the chassis and internals have been revamped. There’s a new EVOL air spring, a new crown, and the magnesium lowers now feature the rounded and heavily-chiselled arch as first seen on the bigger 36 and 38 forks. You’ll also find the same lower leg bypass channels on the back of the fork legs. These channels improve oil flow, allowing the lubrication fluid to more easily make its way up to the bushings and main seals, especially if you hang your bike up by the front wheel. The channels also increase the lower leg’s air volume, helping to decrease the unintended ramp-up that happens when air pressure builds up in the lowers.
You’ll also notice that the step in the lowers now occurs on the inner face of the legs rather than the outside. This allows the whole fork to be built with a narrower stance than its predecessor, reducing material while delivering a stiffer chassis. The result is a 140g weight reduction over the first generation Fox 34 SC fork, with the new version claimed to weigh just 1,496g in its lightest configuration. That is incredibly light for a 120mm travel fork, and it’s a big reason why we’re now seeing World Cup XC racers choosing the new 34 SC over the skinnier and flexier 32 SC.
What’s the difference between the Fox 34 and 34 SC?
That’s a great question, since the Fox 34 SC and the standard 34 both utilise 34mm diameter stanchions. However, that’s about where the similarities end.
The standard Fox 34 is offered with 130-140mm of travel and features a noticeably beefier chassis that can accommodate 2.6in wide tyres and a 203mm brake rotor. It’s available with FIT4, GRIP and GRIP2 damper options, and has a claimed weight of 1,738g. You’ll see the standard 34 spec’d on trail bikes like the Specialized Stumpjumper and Giant Trance 29.
In comparison, the Fox 34 SC is offered with 100-120mm of travel. Its slimmer chassis is limited to 2.4in wide tyres and a 180mm brake rotor, and you can only get it with the FIT4 or GRIP damper. It is available with a remote lockout option though. You’ll see it on the aforementioned Top Fuel and Epic EVO, but also increasingly on XC race bikes like the Giant Anthem and Scott Spark RC.
Fox 34 SC weight
Out of the box with a full-length steerer, our Fox 34 SC Factory Series test fork weighs 1,520g. By the time I’d trimmed the steerer tube and installed a star nut, that weight dropped to 1,509g.
As advertised, that’s some 140g lighter than the old fork, making for a healthy weight saving. To put that number into perspective, here’s a look at the confirmed weights (with a full-length steerer) of some of the other XC and trail forks we’ve tested;
RockShox SID SL Ultimate – 1,328g
Fox 32 SC Factory Series –1,448g
Fox 34 SC Factory Series – 1,520g
RockShox SID Ultimate – 1,525g
Fox 34 GRIP2 Factory Series – 1,780g
RockShox Pike Ultimate – 1,920g
Fox 34 SC price & models
The Fox 34 SC is available in three trim levels; Performance, Performance Elite and Factory Series. You can get it with a crown-mounted lockout or a remote lockout, and there’s even a Live Valve version too.
Our test fork is the premium Factory Series version with a 3-position remote lockout, which comes with a suitably premium price tag of $1,739 AUD. It gets the FIT4 damper and gold Kashima-coated upper tubes for minimum friction and maximum bling. The same fork is available without the remote lockout for $100 less.
The Performance Elite version is functionally identical, using the same chassis, EVOL air spring and FIT4 damper, albeit with cheaper black-anodising for the upper tubes. Unfortunately this model isn’t available aftermarket however, so you’ll only find it on complete bikes.
The Performance Series version is otherwise the same as its fancier siblings, but brings the price down further with the use of a simpler GRIP damper. This does add weight, with the 34 SC Performance claimed to weigh 1,590g. It’s available aftermarket and is considerably cheaper at $1,389 AUD.

Testing the Fox 34 SC
So far I’ve had the chance to test out three different Fox 34 SC forks, with my first experience being on the Canyon Lux Trail. I’ve since spent a load of time on the Giant Anthem, which features a 110mm travel 34 SC controlled by the Live Valve system.
More recently I’ve had this 120mm travel 34 SC fitted to the front of our Scott Spark RC long-term test bike. It’s equipped with the remote-activated FIT4 damper, with the three-position compression adjuster syncing up perfectly with the Spark’s TwinLoc remote.
Setting up
With all three forks I’ve set up the air spring with 70-72psi to suit my 68kg riding weight, as per Fox’s recommendations. Rebound damping has been set halfway with 10/20 clicks.
While the 34 SC’s FIT4 damper is structurally smaller and a bit lighter than the FIT4 damper used in the standard 34, the damping performance is claimed to be the same. The adjustments are also identical, so you’ve got access to the same Open, Medium and Firm settings. The Medium setting adds a good whack of compression damping to firm up the fork for climbing and sprinting off-road, while the Firm setting is pretty much a full lockout.
There’s also a black dial at the top of the fork crown, which gives you 22 clicks of low-speed compression damping when you’re in the Open mode. On the Lux Trail and Spark, I’ve typically set this dial 5-6 clicks in from fully open to provide a little more support under braking. On the Live Valve-equipped Anthem, I set the low-speed adjuster fully open to provide the most supple performance when the suspension was in the Open setting.
Tuning the new EVOL air spring
From the factory there’s a single green volume spacer installed underneath the top cap. You can install up to four, with additional spacers included in the box. Adding volume spacers is a good idea if your sag is good, but you’re bottoming out the fork multiple times during each ride. While I did experiment with adding more spacers, the single volume spacer has provided a nice balance between progression and small-bump sensitivity for my weight and riding style.
Adding further adjustability, it’s also possible to tune the negative spring volume with the new EVOL air spring. There’s a specific volume spacer that clips onto the air shaft just above the negative base plate assembly, which shrinks the negative spring volume to create a firmer and racier platform to the initial stroke. The 120mm fork comes from the factory without this volume spacer for a plusher feel, while the 100mm fork comes with the spacer fitted for a firmer feel. To install or remove this spacer, you will need to drop the lowers and take the air spring out of the fork, so it’s a much more involved process than changing volume spacers in the positive chamber.
On the trail
With all three of our Fox 34 SC test forks, I’ve been mighty impressed with just how smooth and controlled this fork is given its paltry weight. It really is a terrific match for the high-speed capabilities of modern-angled XC bikes.
In the case of the Scott Spark, the 120mm travel 34 SC replaced the stock 130mm travel 34. This resulted in a significant 220g weight reduction, which is noticeable while riding. The front of the bike is whippier and more responsive, and it’s also easier to lift up over obstacles on the trail.
In terms of suspension performance, the 34 SC does feel racier compared to the regular 34. It doesn’t have quite the same sensitivity, particularly deeper into the travel. It’s obviously not as stout either, with more flex under braking and when being pushed hard into repeat impacts at speed.
This is understandable given the weight reduction. Compared to the old 34 SC, 71 grams have been stripped out of the lowers on the new fork. Even the CSU is supposed to be 50g lighter. It certainly looks slimmer than the old fork, though the narrowed stance ensures that overall steering precision hasn’t been sacrificed. It handles off-camber terrain well, tracking confidently in-line with where your grips are pointing.
As well as being quite a bit lighter than the old fork, the new 34 SC offers more support on the trail thanks to the redesigned air spring. Even with the same number of volume spacers fitted, it rides noticeably higher in its travel, keeping plenty in reserve for more violent impacts.
Despite the stronger support, the 34 SC has thankfully maintained the suppleness that we enjoyed so much about the original fork. There’s excellent small-bump sensitivity in the Open compression setting, allowing the front tyre to maintain ground contact for maximum grip and predictability. This sensitivity extends across a wide range of riding speeds, with the 34 SC doing well to manage big hits and seek out traction on rowdier terrain.
It’s also happy to make use of the full 120mm stroke, with larger drops to flat resulting in me meeting the end of the travel. It was only ever once per ride though, and the bottom-out was never that harsh or noisy. Adding a second volume spacer did eliminate these bottom-out events, though it came at the expense of mid-stroke sensitivity. I returned to one volume spacer, and haven’t thought about it since. In fact, I haven’t really thought much about the fork at all, since it just performs so darn well all of the time.
How does it compare to the 32 SC?
Given the reduced weight of the 2022 Fox 34 SC, and the fact that it’s now available in a 100mm travel variant, you might be wondering how it compares to the 32 Step-Cast fork we’ve reviewed previously. This is a valid question, as while the 32 SC hasn’t been updated since 2020, it appears it’ll remain in the Fox lineup for the foreseeable future.
As Fox’s ultra-light XC fork, the 32 SC is built around 32mm diameter upper tubes and is only available with 100mm of travel. It’s also limited to running a 2.3in wide tyre. There’s a broad range of adjustability, as its FIT4 damper is largely the same as the one used in the 34 SC. And while the previous generation EVOL air spring doesn’t offer negative volume adjustments, you can still tune the positive chamber with spacers.
Thanks to its highly weight-optimised chassis, the 32 SC is still the lighter of the two forks (1,448g vs 1,520g, uncut). You can certainly feel that difference on the trail, with the skinny chassis being considerably bendier than the 34 SC. Small-bump sensitivity is very good, but the 32 SC simply inspires less confidence on chunky descents, with the front wheel more likely to dance to its own routine.
Given the superior performance of the 34 SC, it’s understandable why so many World Cup XC racers are sucking up the 72g weight penalty and choosing it over the 32 SC. Of course modern XC bikes are getting slacker, longer and beefier, so the 34 SC is naturally becoming a more suitable choice. And while lighter riders may not notice as dramatic of a difference, for existing 32 SC owners who are looking to push their bike harder on the descents, while exploring the option of running more than 100mm of travel, the 34 SC is undoubtedly an excellent upgrade.
Fox 34 SC vs RockShox SID
In much the same way that the new Fox 34 SC has pushed aside the 32 SC to become the fork of choice for XC racing, the RockShox SID has been earning favour over the lighter SID SL amongst RockShox-sponsored athletes. So, with these bigger forks signalling the direction that modern XC bikes are heading, how does the new 34 SC compare to the SID?
The RockShox SID won our last head-to-head battle with the previous 34 SC, as it offered a significant weight advantage and terrific sensitivity and support from its DebonAir spring. The weight difference has evaporated with the new 34 SC however, with the two forks coming out at pretty much the same figure on the scales (1,520g vs 1,525g, uncut).
The Fox 34 SC does offer more adjustability with its 3-position lever, the additional low-speed compression dial, and the tuneable negative volume. In comparison, the SID Ultimate is much simpler with its 2-position lockout. It’s also over $100 cheaper, coming in at $1,599 AUD for the top-end Ultimate model with a remote lockout (vs $1,739 AUD for the Fox 34 SC).
On the trail, both the SID and 34 SC offer excellent sensitivity for such lightweight XC-focussed forks. There are differences though, and we’ll be exploring these in more detail over the coming weeks with some back-to-back testing. Stay tuned for a separate in-depth comparative review coming soon.
Flow’s Verdict
With its lighter chassis and improved adjustability, the second generation Fox 34 SC has set a new benchmark for XC riding and racing.
Not only is it considerably lighter than its predecessor, the redesigned air spring also offers more adjustability and better support on the trail. It’s a superior fork all-round, and the weight savings mean it has closed the gap on the skinnier 32 SC. The bigger chassis of the 34 SC means it is much more confidence-inspiring on the descents however, and that makes it a far more suitable match for the capabilities of the latest crop of XC bikes currently hitting the market.
There’s no getting around the high price of the Factory Series model, and for that reason we’d really like to see the Performance Elite model offered aftermarket. And while I’ve not tested the entry-level Performance model yet, based on prior experience of the excellent GRIP damper, it’s likely to be even more supple than the FIT4 models. If you can handle the near-100g weight penalty and don’t mind the reduced adjustability, that fork will be the value pick of the bunch.
If it’s the very best you’re after however, then it doesn’t get as high-end or as adjustable as the Fox 34 SC Factory Series fork. Expect to see the 34 SC on the front of a lot of new XC bikes for 2023.

2022 Fox 34 forks focus on downcountry
Fox’s brand-new 2022 34 and 34 Step-Cast (SC) forks receive a host of updates to make them lighter and stiffer with a focus on trail, downcountry and cross-country riding, with between 100mm and 140mm of travel.
Advertisement
Updates to the 34 and 34 SC include an all-new lower chassis with bypass channels, an “organic lower leg shape” with an all-new further-forward lower arch, and a 58mm diameter crown.
Prices start at £879 / $799 / €1,069 and rise to £1,119 / $1,089 / €1,459 for the new models.
2022 Fox 34 and Fox 34 SC details and specifications
Headlining the changes on the 2022 Fox 34 and 34 SC fork are its new lower legs, which have been painstakingly designed to be the lightest and stiffest iteration yet.
Redesigned stiffer and lighter lowers for the 2022 Fox 34 and Fox 34 SC forks
Fox Suspension
The lower leg arch – that spans from one side of the fork to the other just above the tyre – has been redesigned to “optimize [the] critical ratio” of stiffness to weight, shaving as much material as possible while still remaining stiff and strong for the demands of “modern trail riding”. Computer modelling was used to create an “organic” lowers shape.
Furthermore, the 2022 34 and 34 SC’s arch has been designed to be more compatible with modern trail bike head tubes, which Fox claims have been increasing in diameter and when coupled with a trend for shorter offset forks combine to require more clearance. The lower arch now sits further forward compared to the old model to create this extra room.
The lowers also feature air and oil bypass channels shaped into the rear of the legs just beneath the seals. Fox claims the benefits are two-fold; one, oil is able to circulate more freely inside the lowers as the forks cycle through their travel, lubricating the bushings and foam o-rings; and two, the unintended consequence of pressure ramping is avoided.
Fox Suspension
As the fork compresses, air pressure builds up inside the lowers, but by increasing the available space inside the forks – with the bypass channels – the potential issue of pressure ramping is mitigated against.
The crown’s diameter – where the steerer tube is bonded into the crown – is now 58mm
Increased negative air spring volumes feature on 2022 Fox 34 and Fox 34 SC forks
Elsewhere, the 2022 Fox 34 and Fox 34 SC air spring has been updated with an increased volume negative air chamber. This should help improve off-the-top sensitivity making the fork easier to compress in its initial travel and Fox also claims it will assist mid-stroke support.
The 34 SC fork gets an adjustable negative air spring where it’s possible to use a volume spacer to reduce its size to decrease sensitivity. Fox says running the volume spacer gives the 34 SC an XC race feel, while without it, it’ll feel plusher at the start of its travel.
To install the negative air spring volume spacer, the lower leg and air spring assembly must be removed, however the spacer simply clips into place.
Which dampers are available on the 2022 Fox 34 and Fox 34 SC forks?
Fox Suspension
The 2022 Fox 34 is available with Fox’s top-of-the-range GRIP2 damper, also available on the Fox 36, Fox 38 and Fox 40 forks. The damper features external high- and low-speed compression and rebound adjustments that are made possible with Fox’s Variable Valve Control (VVC) tech.
Next in the range and featuring on both the 2022 Fox 34 and Fox 34 SC is Fox’s FIT4 damper.
This has a three-position compression adjuster with open, medium and firm settings, but also features an open mode low-speed compression adjuster and low-speed rebound adjustment. The FIT4 damper is approximately 75g lighter than the GRIP2 version and is compatible with a remote adjuster.
The standard 34 and 34 SC are also available with Fox’s GRIP damper with a three-position compression adjuster featuring open, medium, and firm settings. It also has externally adjustable low-speed rebound.
How much travel do the new 2022 Fox 34 and Fox 34 SC have?
The 2022 Fox 34 SC fork is available with 100mm, 110mm and 120mm of travel. Forks with 120mm of travel do not come with the negative air spring volume spacer installed, but forks set at 100mm do. A 110mm travel air spring kit is available to buy separately.
The standard 2022 Fox 34 is available with between 120mm and 140mm travel.
How much do the 2022 Fox 34 and Fox 34 SC weigh?
Fox Suspension
Fox is a little cryptic with its claimed weights. The 2022 Fox 34 is claimed to weigh from 1,698g – a full 108g lighter than its claimed weights for the old generation 29in 34 (1,790g).
The 2022 Fox 34 SC version is claimed to weigh from 1,496g, which is significantly lighter than the 1,623g claimed weight of the old 34 SC 29in-version fork.
2022 Fox 34 and Fox 34 SC configuration options
Fox Suspension
The 2022 Fox 34 is available in Factory, Performance Elite and Performance model ranges while the 34 SC is only available in Factory and Performance variants.
Both versions of the new 34 are only compatible with 29in wheels at present. It’s possible to spec either a 44mm or 51mm offset in all 100mm to 120mm (34 SC) and 120 to 140mm (34) travel options, although not all offsets are available in all model variants.
All models use a Boost 15×110mm axle, but only the Factory versions get the Kabolt axle, while the Performance Elite and Performance versions have a QR axle.
What’s missing from the 2022 Fox 34 and Fox 34 SC fork configurations?
Notably omitted from the new 2022 Fox 34 lineup is compatibility with 27.5in wheels.
All outgoing models of the 34 were 27.5in wheel compatible, so it’s a bold move. As I’ve been trying to prove with my Yeti SB 165 long-term test bike, 27.5in wheels aren’t dead in the water just yet.
Also not present on the 2022 34 series forks is Fox’s floating axle, seen on the new 36 and 38 forks. Fox says the shorter travel chassis of the 34 is less likely to suffer from chassis misalignment and therefore doesn’t need the floating axle.
Equally, air bleed ports located on the rear of the 36 and 38 forks are also missing. Fox says it decided to omit these from the 34 to keep the weight as low as possible and “encourage riders looking for this feature to move up to a 36”.
What type of riding are the 2022 Fox 34 and Fox 34 SC designed for?
By its own admission, Fox says the 2022 34 is designed to be fitted to lightweight trail bikes. Arguably, since the introduction of the Fox 38, the brand’s range of forks has been distorted slightly.
Previously the 36 was the heavy-hitting enduro-focused chassis, but the 38 dethroned it of that title and we’ve seen brands such as Devinci and Specialized fitting the 36 to their harder-hitting trail bikes.
It doesn’t look like the new 34 is trying to reset that trend, though, and I think we can expect to see the 34 specced on the lightest trail bikes around, while anything with slightly more burlier intentions is more likely to get a 36.
Hopefully the new 34 chassis addresses some of the criticisms the older model received for feeling quite flexy when ridden hard, like when it was fitted to the Marin Rift Zone Carbon 2, Specialized Stumpjumper Expert and Devinci Django Carbon 29 GX.
The 2022 34 SC fork looks like it’s a cross-country and downcountry model, and I think we can expect to see it specced on the lightest, highest-specced bikes from many manufacturers, such as Canyon and Orbea.

TESTED: 2022 Fox 34 SC 120mm
Words: Mike Blewitt

The Fox 34 SC (Stepcast) was released in 2018, adding a lighter option than the Fox 34, but a stiffer fork option than the Fox 32 SC (limited to 100mm travel). The fork was immediately a popular addition to many cross-country bikes, giving a bit more confidence and steering precision – as well as dialling the head angle back about a degree if running the fork at 120mm. Fox also had 110mm and 100mm air springs available.
Earlier this year, Fox released a whole new 34 range, keeping in step with the increasing capabilities of modern bikes, and the growing technicality of the trails we ride and race on. The update made both the 34 and 34 SC lighter, but also stiffer. The new Fox 34 has a new crown, that matches head tube sizes better, a new arch for greater stiffness, oil flow and head tube and tyre clearance and a few other changes. The changes the the 34 SC were just as important. The original Fox 34 SC was a good fork – but probably not light enough. The first iteration saw the SC (Stepcast) element as having materials removed from the outer of the lowers, with slightly shorter stanchions. The new 34 SC has design cues from the 32 SC – a narrower crown, and the Stepcast coming on the inside of the fork. This physically limits the fork to a maximum 180mm rotor.
The cutout on the new 34 SC has moved to the inside of the fork legs.
The result is a fork that weighs 1.49kg out of the box with an uncut steerer. The previous Fox 34 SC weighs 1.61kg cutdown and with a starnut. For reference, my Fox 32 SC weighs 1.43kg cut and nutted, and the 2021 Fox 34 GRIP2 I tested last year (in 140mm travel) weights 1.98kg cut and nutted. Once I cut the steerer to size (-36g) and added the star nut (12g) I had a fork weighing 1466g, for 120mm travel. This is barely anymore than the 32 SC I took off. No wonder we saw riders like Mathieu van der Poel, Milan Vader, Victor Koretzky and Ondrej Cink racing World Cups (and the Olympics) on the Fox 34 SC – albeit likely in the 100 or 110mm variant.
The Fox 34 SC has 44mm and 51mm offset options and comes stock as 120mm. Beyond the narrower crown and stance, and the internal Stepcast feature, the 34 SC also gains the oil channels on the back of the legs. This helps the oil pass to the seals to keep the fork running smoothly.
The oil channels on the back of the legs are another change made to the 34 SC.
Inside, there is more going on as well in terms of how the air spring can be set up. On the Fox 34 SC, you can tune the negative air spring with a spacer, to get the fork feel just right on your race bike. If you use the spacer you’ll keep a racey and firm feel off the top of the travel. Without it, it’s a little more supple and therefore you’ll have more of a trail feel to your Fox 34 SC. Suitably, the 120mm forks won’t have the spacer as stock, but 100mm Fox 34 SC will.
The Fox 34 SC Factory model that I have on test uses the FIT4 damper with 3 positions: Open, Medium and Firm. There is rebound adjustment at the base of the fork, plus low speed compression adjustment that works in the Open position. You can also get the FIT4 equipped fork with a 2-position remote lock out.
The 34 SC comes with a FIT4 damper, and you can add a lockout.
On the trail:
When I received the test model from Fox Australia, I had recently put the original Fox 34 SC back onto my bike, taking off my usual Fox 32 SC. My bike can be run at 100mm or 120mm both front and rear, and it’s not always about the extra travel, or even the geometry change – but the greater stiffness with the Fox 34 SC is certainly appreciated. Funnily enough, one of the key things I noticed was the slender crown when looking down!
I fitted two volume spacers and set my preferred air pressure, rebound and compression settings. Heading to the trails, the fork felt really good – although it did tend to sit higher in its travel than the older Fox 34 SC. I actually like this as I prefer to forego a super supple feel for more midstroke support. Even though this fork doesn’t have the extra negative spring spacer, it’s still a fork that’s aimed for going fast in a cross-country sense. If you want a short travel trail fork, the Fox 34 is where you should be looking.

For the tiny weight difference, the fork is noticeably stiffer than my usual Fox 32 SC. And this is something you notice on just about any aspect of riding. Be it climbing out of the saddle, braking hard, cornering, pushing out of a berm, jumping, over a rock garden… it’s just stiffer, and therefore more confidence inspiring.
While Fox state the tyre limit is 2.4” for the Fox 34 SC, I still had ample room in there with a 2.4” tyre on a wide rim. Of course, you would want to deflate the fork and check for bottom out clearance on anything larger, but I’d be surprised if you couldn’t fit something a little larger in.
I certainly expected a change in the ride feel from a Fox 32 SC to the new Fox 34 SC, and I got that. But I didn’t really expect a change from the original Fox 34 SC, but I did get one. Without even having the racier option with the 100mm version, the new Fox 34 SC feels like it has more support, despite running the fork with the same settings. I can access the travel I need, but overall the fork feels like a Fox 32 SC in terms of suspension action, but with much more lateral and fore-aft stiffness. And there’s nothing wrong with that!
Mike thinks the latest 34 SC offers genuine upgrades over its predecessor.
It’s hard to say whether I noticed a difference with the oil channels, the forks feel great and have continued to do so. This fork is a great example of continual refinement from Fox. They have managed to take the very light Fox 32 SC and put that into a 34mm legged package, with about a 30g weight penalty.
Final thoughts:
I think the new Fox 34 SC might be the death nell for 32mm legged forks. Sure, the 32 SC is still a little bit lighter and it is an excellent fork for the purpose. But I hope to see the Fox 34 SC on more bikes on shop floors, be it in a Performance or Factory model. RockShox offer the SID Select with 35mm legs and Suntour have had a range of high-end 34mm legged forks for a number of years – we just don’t tend to see them much.
In my mind, the Fox 34 SC is the leading cross-country fork from Fox, with the lighter weight 2022 Fox 34 (available in 120-140mm travel) taking the place for people who want a light trail bike or downcountry bike. The Fox 34 SC may limit your tyre and rotor size, but as a race-spec fork, I think the limits are well within the range of what you would want to use. The next step for Fox will be if their FIT4 cartridge gets an upgrade. It offers more damping and tuning than the RockShox Charger Race Day damper (at a heavier weight) but I do wonder when we will see a move to electronic remote lock out – which is surely the next move in this area.
If you have a current Fox 34 SC, a saving of about 160g to upgrade to this fork is a value proposition you need to make yourself. However, if you have a Fox 32 SC, then I think there are true performance benefits to be made – and it’s not about travel, but about how the stiffer Fox 34 SC will improve your bike’s handling, and therefore speed. And if you’re focused on going fast, improvements to how your bike rides for such a minimal weight increase is exactly what you should be thinking about.
