For 2014, Fox has completely redesigned the TALAS system to provide a spring curve that matches the fixed travel 2014 Float forks. They also wanted to achieve that same spring curve in both travel settings, so the fork is actually rideable in it’s shorter travel mode. To do that, they separated the travel-adjust mechanism from the air spring, allowing them to tune the spring rate more accurately.
The new TALAS system has much lower friction than the current (2013) version, as the new design reduces the number of seals required. If you want to customize your travel range, you can do so in five-millimeter increments just by unthreading the top cap and adding or removing spacers. We rode the new TALAS system on the 34-millimeter platform, but it will be used across all platforms and all wheel sizes. If it’s a TALAS fork, it will have the new cartridge. Oh, and by the way, since it’s a drop in type cartridge, its retrofittable.
