New Air Forks: Love them or hate them?

Though it looks like a cool idea, definitely better than what we currently have, like cleonard said this isn't a good design for trail riders. something fails on that shock and your screwed.

I like reg forks, but I never tried air shocks or forks other than in my mtb, so I have no room to speak

Nope, same company

so the same company that makes t shirts, mx gear, and other casual wear is the same as the suspension company? i always thought they were different

No , they actually are two different companies. Geoff Fox started Moto-X Fox in the seventies as a accessories distributor. Later, his brother Bob developed his suspension , and teamed with Geoff to market it. Eventually, they split up and did their own thing. Geoff kept the fox head logo , and Bob uses a fox tail logo for Fox Racing Shox.
