Is the Tough Road class 3? Love that the FastRoad E+ Pro EX is built to do 45 kph.

I don't give a twit what my exact speed is at any time. I have cruise, wow, yahooo and "I better get on the binders." I use the wind in my face to measure fun. Life is complicated only because we choose to make it that way.

Didn’t get fender bosses on the Fox fork because I didn’t occur to me that they might be available on 29er forks. Oh well, I only have room for Muddy Nuts type of fender anyways and it use zip ties.

Yea, my bad. Apologies to forum members and I was already admonished by the this forum's speech police. No excuses.

Browneye, I would stop just short of recommending the Fox fork as an upgrade. It was an exorbitant upgrade for a Explore E+4 but my factory fork, after maybe 200 miles, had morphed into a pogo stick with a wheel tied to it. I tried different adjustments but the stock fork was just unacceptable...

Yes, you need to match up the specs but I would think there would be a number of options for your Vado. That's a very popular model. (Nice!) Some of the high end forks are dropping into commodity pricing so you may get lucky. The original retail price of Fox fork I bought was near $1K when it...

Yes. Rides as good as I could hope. I far as my eye and a tape measure can tell everything matches up perfectly. My factory front wheel and brakes installed on Fox fork with no problems. Changing the headset bearings isn't really necessary but I did it just because. I haven't been on any...

After my earlier mission to replace my suspension fork on the Explore E+ with a RockShox hit a dead end I purchased a Fox Flow 32 29" Suspension fork and so far I'm trilled with the results. No problems with the install and now my bike feels solid and smooth, not like the original fork that...

I think replacing the stock steering bearings with the 'sealed bearings' in the Giant FSA kit improved feedback response that was also missing with the stock setup.

The new suspension Fox fork arrived in record time for upgrading the factory fork on my Explore E+4 2020. Just an 'by-the-eye' measurements the Fox fork looks to be a perfect match. After removing the Crown Race bearing to transfer to the Fox fork and the headset bearings from the original fork...

That may have been an workable solution but I was unaware that travel could be reduced. The Fox Flow was $35 more than the RockShox but appears to be better suited for my needs.

Update to my Fork upgrade. Some brief spring sorties confirmed, again, that my Explore E+ 4 stock suspension fork just isn't effective. My bike tracks well under perfect conditions but any XC trekking displays how inadequate this fork is for a 180 lbs rider. I've decide to take anther stab at...

I’ll need to look into that.

Gee, introduce a bug in an update and the freaking world goes ape s*it. Its the end of the world, run!

I know that a RST VIVAir would work but I can't find them with tapered steering and I question if they're worth the upgrade. I really like the FastRoad E+ EX Pro but I need a solid season or two on the Explore before thinking of a upgrade. It may just be a passing fancy for me but I don't think...

Well the RockShox update came to a dead end. Received the new fork but the minute I opened the box I knew that is wasn't going to work. ( see photo) I thought I had covered all the bases with the specs but I didn't factor in the additional upper shock travel length. Everything matches up except...

I will be replacing my factory suspension fork with an aftermarket unit and inquiring if any other Explore E+ owners have swapped out their fork? Two reason why I decided to change out is it doesn't adequately support my weight and I really would like to lock-out the suspension when on the...

I don't notice flex but I'm running Big Apple tires with no lock-out from the standard mediocre fork suspension on a Explore E+ 4. (So I'm forgiving front steering to be a little lazy.) I'm swapping the front fork with a 29" Air/Coil MTB fork with 80-100 mm travel. Strangely ,I'll really going...

I purchased the STA frame and am really thankful I did. It has saved me from a number of stupid dumps and at my age any ground contact is bad. Get over the teenage stimaga, you know it’s a better choice.
