With a used bike, I bought this fox fork. After a few hours of research, I still don't know the models name đŸ˜€ Does anyone has an idea?
How confusing can it be?

That’s a performance model with factory stickers.
Numbers are stanchion diameters, names are damper model related… or so I hear.
I’m tipping that’s a rhythm with factory stickers.
There should be a little code on the back of the crown I think you can use to look up the specs on the Fox website.
Somebody gettin cheeky with them factory decals.
It’s either a rhythm with a factory sticker or the Fox Grip 2 Mark III Fit49 with optional HSC/LSC/MSC three way selector with Rapid Recovery HSR and MRP ramp coil oil bathed Secus MegNeg
Just research the serial number
Custom stickers on a base level. Those stickers do look pretty sweet on it tho
There should be a serial number on the fork from Fox.
It is either on the back/bottom of the crown or the back of the lowers (Either at the back/bottom of the thick part at the top with the blue dial and cap, or at the back of the the fork in the area that compresses).
On the Fox website, you should be able to find a spot to input the number, and it will tell you exactly what model it is. It is definitely not a factory, so it has been restickered, as most have said.
looks like Rhythm
That’s a Rhythm with a sticker change, probably 2020 or 2021, you can tell by the crown and it has a fit dampener.
There’s no confusion in the Fox naming convention. You’re just looking at a user badge-engineered 36 Rhythm (see: damper, stanchions, lowers casting, CSU casting) with 36 Factory stickers.
I also believe it’s a 51mm offset.
Fox factory would have a grip 2 or x, x2 damper. This fork only has the basic grip damper. You can upgrade the damper for about $300 USD if needed. Yeah, not a Fox factory with that damper.
Can you even get a Fox Factory without kashima coated stanchions? That right there is a give away. But telling a Rhythm apart from a Performance vs. Performance Elite? Gotta look at the serial number.
There is a 4-digit code which you can enter on the fox homepage which gives me this:
2019 RHYTHM 36 FLOAT 27.5 160
Thanks a lot, for your help!
Next question, who wants to buy an original 36 factory fork? Very cheap for only 500! – no refunds!
