Could someone fill me in with the complete differences between the Fox 34 Rhythm and the Fox 34 Performance. I’m not interested in Fit 4 dampers just the Grip models. Also know that the Factory has Kashima but are there any other differences?
Apart from dampers there isn’t much difference between the Fox 34 Rhythm and the Fox 34 Performance But Fox 34 Performance is lighter than Fox 34 Rhythm frame,
Fox 34 Performance is lighter compared to Rhythm model. You can add on several add-ons on the performance model which would provide you with the better ride. If you want to go with stock cycle, then Rhythm and Performance model doesn’t make much of a difference.
The Rhythm is a very good fork. It’s heavier than the Performance, which uses the same damper except for the addition of a detent in the middle of the compression knob range.
The rhythm forks do use the 6000 alloy tube series vs 7000 alloy tube series on the performance model, they’re stiffer and heavier. I’m pretty sure that’s the only difference, maybe different seals.
