Fox Talas Vs Rock Shox Reba Fork 29er StiffnessTest

If you like this one please cheack out the follow up video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1M2O-fTYVI4

2011 Fox Talas RLC 120mm 15mm Axle 29er - Vs- 2011 Rock Shox Reba XX 120mm 20mm axle 29er Both are Tapered steerers.

Same bike, same day, same front wheel. I have Stans hub, so I just swapped to the 15mm adapter. Camera is mounted on a bracket on the handlebars. I braked 3 separate times. I was going about 16mph when I hit the brakes each time. I used a GPS to figure out the speed( My comp broke in the last race). Reba is stiffer and when riding I can feel a difference. I do think this video does help show the difference.

Does it not depend on how high you have the pressure in each set of forks? Or are they spring shocks?

[paulrb02]

@chesterdavidson123 Its not the up and down motion of fork I am testing. The forks are locked out as best as I can make them. its more about the horizontal motion(forward and backwards) of the axle.

I can't see what difference the stiffness makes..

[mrjdenton]

@jgraf9 more like what kind of shitty video is this....

[adrianparia]

that's what i call a well done test. so relevant!

i think the dislikes were given by fox talas users :))

[Th0mcios]

Talas is faster and more sensitive?

[fmgaluda]

So you're testing the amount of play on the fork stanchions?
