one of the many things that puts me off any generation of air fork. Hence my buying a yam for next year!!
I would tend to listen to a former pro that still rides and tests all the bikes and suspension over you guys that are trying to justify the purchase of your current bikes.
That being said I can't get my standard twin chamber forks on my KX to work well everywhere either... So what do I know!

I was a huge skeptic of the new TAC fork on the 16 KX. So much so that I put aside the cash to buy cone valve springers. By the second ride, I put that money back in the bank. And that's not me trying to justify my purchase. After the Team Green dealio, I paid $6500 OTD for my 16 KX. I don't have to justify anything at that price. If I didn't like them I would just sell the bike and not lose a dime. My opinion is unbiased.
OUT OF THE BOX
After doing some testing and sampling...those that've "tried it all", like ML512, have come to learn how to set'em up.
Me? I don't care who runs what; because, I know what works for me...& as folks like Refeer and a few others vent their frustrations...I'll just go about my riding with suspension that works really well for me. That includes WP 4CS, KYB Pro-Circuit Airs & ENZO KYB springers.
And, as for earlier comments on who's set-up compares to mine or anyone-else's? No worries. Those of you talkng shit are not amongst the people I see week-in & week-out testing this stuff. That's exactly why you can spew the angry uninformed crap that you do.
Good luck with that.
So Pings opinion on good and bad suspension is just as varied. What sucks to him is great for others.
You can't say air forks suck just becuz he says so or at least tend to believe the opinion of a pro over others as you say.
That would be the same as saying Ricky's setup is the best a setup can be becuz he rides that weirdly setup bike faster than anyone on the planet.
Kidding of course, most of us media guys get along great.
But If you are like me that when it's all flat and too fast gets bored and enjoys ruts and bumps, they suck.
Pit Row
Jokes aside, I think if the new KXF equiped those forks, It would sweep all shootouts.
If I was a pro with technichal suport I might think diferent too haha
Anyone have a chart or anything for this?
Or is this "known" bro science?
They havent ran valve springs for decades
