06 575 with Fox F Series forks

[ascarman]

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone has a 575 with the 08 or 09 Fox F120 series forks on them and what their experience is. Wanted to know is the 120mm compromising the feel and geometry (Currently have 130mm TALAS). How does the stiffness of these forks feel..Should I go for the 140mm floats instead?

I havent tried a 575 with a 120 fork, but I reckon it would compromise the handling.
Personally I would recommend a 140mm vanilla 32 over the float.
If you can stretch to a 36 then that would be even better.

I've got Fox Talas on mine and the 120mm setting is ok on the road or smooth-ish trails, but a 575 needs a longer fork on anything more technical. If you've got 140mm at the back you should have the same at the front.
