2018 Levo Carbon Comp Fork Upgrade

Anyone try the fox factory 36 160 mm travel? Looking to increase travel slightly and comfort level. Any negatives with the longer stroke? Too slack?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I doubt 10mm would change anything too drastic. Although I didn’t like it on my Levo as it felt a little vague in the front. Just my opinion though. The 36 is a great fork.

What didn't you like on your Levo? I find the Revelation gives a very harsh ride. I also had a Pike that felt similar. I installed a Fox 36 on my Enduro last year and found it to be so much more compliant.

I went Maxxis DHF front. DVO 150fork. The 160 just felt slow on tighter singletrack

I went maxxis dhf on front as well. Front end used to break loose
quite a bit now its like velcro. Rekon on back.

I bought a 2022 Comp Carbon with a Fox Rhythm 34. The small bump compliance entering fast turns was nonexistent. Just about rattled my hands off the bars. I tried to dial it in with no success. I even put a 2.6 tire on it still sucked. So I got a Fox 36 Float.

The fork works awesome once you get it dialed. One problem, it works so good that it brings out the short comings of the shock. I think it's a evil plan by Fox to drain my wallet.

It made a difference for sure. It was already a nice bike, now it's a Cadillac! FYI I saw a couple of used 36s on Pros Closet.
