All this depends on your weight and what bike it's going on or how much travel
you want. The 32 is mostly an XC/Trail fork and I like it in shorter travel
numbers – but for the longer axle-crown measurements it is not confidence
inspiring. I find the 34 160 plenty stiff for Shore riding, though the 2013
damper didn't provide quite as much support/adjustability as most riders were
looking for. For 2014 the dampers are giving better support across the board
which is a step in the right direction, though I haven't spent enough time on
them yet to recommend particular settings. The new player in the light but
stiff and with good damping arena is the Pike… definitely giving Fox a run for
its money right now.
