![]() One possible plus to the system that needs to be mentioned is how riders should be able to easily find the proper suspension balance between the front and rear ends of a CTD equipped bike. FOX says that the three position CTD system brings a level of factory tuning to the consumer by giving them quick and easy access to different levels of compression tuning with the turn of a dial instead of having to send their suspension in for a re-valve, or memorize multiple dial positions on a more standard layout. For example, the wide open Descend mode could be used to help lower front end ride height on steep climbs, especially on non-Talas fork models. While the Climb, Trail, and Descend designations certainly outline the concept of the system - the firmer Climb mode for climbing, the middle Trail mode for varying terrain, and the most open Descend mode for maximum suspension activity - we can see many riders finding themselves using each setting in other scenarios. ![]() The CTD system, found on both forks and shocks, consists of three differing compression settings that can be adjusted on the fly, allowing riders to adjust the firmness of their suspension to best suit the terrain. ![]() That large commitment is part of FOX's push to simplify and integrate their front and rear suspension, as well as bring the new D.O.S.S. You'll spot the CTD acronym - short for Climb, Trail, Descend - throughout a large portion of FOX's 2013 lineup, including every single 32 and 34 fork model except for one lonely Terralogic 32 holdout.
