Excellent mountain bike fork for the price.
Most people will be happy with the GRIP damper. The rounded arch Fox 36 chassis (2022+) is very stiff yet light. People ask this $ for used forks.

Great price for what it is. But Disclaimer for most Bikers: Suspensions aren't for everyone. Only if you're doing proper mountain biking and taking hits, gettng some air. Otherwise, its a money sink. The servicing costs are exhorbitant (like $250 for every 200 hours) and like 50 for basic servicing every 40 hours, or so its reccomended. Adds extra weight, and becomes another part that can fail, or be more of a PITA if you're skipping on servicing. For most people, wider tires with lower pressure are not only magnitudes more cost efficient, but also more comfortable rides.(again, unless you're doing rough MTB trails and getting some air - or are burdened with Moneybags)

Meh, it's got a Grip damper and not a Grip2. I bought the 38 Performance Elite 29er with Grip2 from them a few weeks ago for a bit over a hundred more. The real closeouts are with the 27.5 like this:

Nah not $355 worth upgrade from select to performance with GRIP.
I'd say for, fox GRIP2 (or GRIP X2 the new one) for rockshox something like lyrik ultimate would be a better upgrade if anything

This is the performance, so if you're stepping up to this level, I'd suggest going for the factory version fork.

Not true. Virtually no performance benefit for 90% of riders. The gold stanchions on the factory look nice though!

No, not even close. Lyric select is a great fork. Throw a charger 2.1 damper and air spring upgrade in there if you want an upgrade. Then you'll be at Lyrik ultimate, not much better out there in a 35/36mm chassis. But overall keeping up with service intervals is the best bang for the buck, spend money there first. If you have extra money, on top of that then upgrade if you're in the expert level rider territory.

I didn't need another fork, but I found some good deals on jerseys (TLD, Fox, POC), so I picked up a few.

MSRP is stupid expensive. But deals on bike stuff are easy to find.

Based upon someone else's purchase of this fork a while back on MTBR, I believe this is actually the e-bike version which means thicker fork tubes/heavier.

How would this fork perform on a stock Motobecane HAL E29 with RockShox Recon Silver RL29 SoloAir? which has 51mm offset.
I just got this bike for $2100, but thinking this would be a worthy upgrade. What's the offset all about, would the geos change?
