Fox Fork For 29"er?!!

This thread came up recently on mtbr.com which shows a 29 inch wheeled Lenz Behemoth sporting a Fox 36 thru-axle fork. This has caused quite a stir, and for good reason. First; Fox does not make a fork compatible with a 29 inch wheel. Secondly; Fox has been pestered to death to do a 29 inch fork, and would probably be the instant king of the 29 inch suspension players if they came out with one.

Here is the Guitar Ted take on this: If the heads of Fox suspension were really listening, they could easily take over the market for 29 inch suspension forks. Since they will not respond to the demand, it has forced a small custom fabricator named Devin Lenz to come up with a solution. This is a move undoubtedly made by Lenz to help spark more interest in his newly designed Behemoth dual suspended 29"er, which is making it's debut at InterBike. Also, it's more fuel for the fire in the demand for a 29 inch specific Fox fork. Fox, are you listening?
