Its hinged clamp has a three-position shoe which allows the user to set the lever plus or minus 20-millimeters fore and aft, and Fox designed a clever threaded cap that allows the lever assembly to be reversed. The cable entry point is exposed, so you won't need a plumber to replace a cable. The escapment mechanism that indexes the lever is a track, cut into a stainless steel plate - a design that has been in use for a thousand years and which should last a lifetime without missing a click. As ugly as the remote looks, it operates remarkably well, with a decisive sound and a positive engagement. The longer silver one pulls cable and the shorter black lever releases cable. There are two large levers on the CTD remote. There probably is a vantage point from which the CTD remote looks perfectly proportioned, but I have yet to find it. Those extra compression damping settings are missing from the remote version of the shock, presumably because there was not enough room to fit the cable housing stops in the limited space in the damping control head.īeing asked to comment about the Fox remote CTD lever at first glance is like having your girl ask you if she is fat - there is no proper comeback. Non-remote controlled Float CTD shocks also feature a black ring beneath the blue CTD control that gives the rider three levels of pedaling platform when the 'Trail' option is selected. Climb-Trail-Descend are three preset low-speed compression settings that Fox believes will give trail riders the most effective options - nearly locked out pedaling firmness in the Climb setting, a compromise between pedaling firmness and suspension action in the Trail selection, and a wide-open shock for fast and furious riding in Descend mode.
