Huge Carbon tubes are light and stiff. The rear Maxle helps stiffen the ride.
Front end
The Moto2 comes with the Fox TALAS 36R. This 4.99lb, 160-130-100mm adjustable fork worked well on this bike. The left fork leg contains the air chamber and travel adjustment knob which can be accessed while riding. No compression adjustment is available on this fork. Rebound is adjusted via the red knob on the right fork. For 2008 Fox introduced a quick release feature on the 20QR forks.
Note the clean lines and burly tubes on this bike

Excellent review, Sharon. I always look forward to reviews from you and/or Lee, both of you have great experience, top riding skills, and write very well. Thanks.

I love those action shots. Good stuff.

Great review Sharon. I know the air shocks are tailored for the frames, but will a coil shock fit?

Hey Barry!
I’m sure the DHX coil will fit, but it won’t be ‘tuned’ for it.
check your pm’s!

Such a Sick bike. Handles the big stuff so well and perfect for the diablo freeride park or Northstar Live Wire. Still climbs admirably well. A 30lb bike and you can throw anything at it, sign me up.

Just bought my first full suspension bike this august and landed on the Moto 2 and just have to say its great . Easy to drag along anywhere . Easy to handle . Nice equipment , especially the brakes (Magura Louise w/ 8″ rotor in front , they could stop a bus ! Definetly the best 5 grand I´ve ever spent .
