December 2, 201015 yr Has anyone else noticed that the 2011 first batch of bikes have slightly different forks to the current bikes available? The forks my 011 model which I've had a couple of months are visually Identical to my 010 bike, have now seen some bikes a month newer which have a different damping adjuster top and different fork bottoms? Does this mean I've got last years forks due to the fork supply shortage?

Anyhow at least you got some forks mate - mine should be here next week (attached to my new bike I hope!) Cheers
December 2, 201015 yr Author Yeah couldn't fault last years forks either, Besides that don't think it would make a difference to my riding even if I had forks from 2021! Lol

Anything about the latest batch to indicate that the forks are superior?
December 2, 201015 yr Author Yeah good point! There just a different shape on the lower fork leg with a different right side adjuster. Nowt to say there any better or any worse, just an observation.
December 3, 201015 yr Hi all how can you tell if you have the latest 2011 forks? had my new evo for 3 weeks now and never took much notice of forks other than setting them up for me. last beta i had was a 06 rev3 and forks all looked the same?
December 4, 201015 yr Right now I'd be happy with 'knife and forks' Only a few more days (hopes!) before my new forks arrive stuck on the front end of a '11 evo 2504T. Just seen that there will be a test on all the 2011's in TMX next week - so we might get to know a bit more about the forks from that. I have been borrowing bikes from friends for the last 6 or so weeks just to get a ride, so it will be good to get settled on my chosen 'weapon of choice' new forks and all ! I've been like a kid on christmas eve for the last few weeks - so aplogies to all my mates
