    What are differences between these two Forks. They have the same number, difference color, same travel and year. I have seen them market on the Internet with the same info. I was planing on using this fork on my transition DJ bike, any one else ever use this combination on there DJ Bike. I have the bike setup more like a trail bike.

    One could OEM and the other aftermarket. Fox will often offer different color options to OEM and just one color for us aftermarket.

    Well, looking at the pictures you provided, one clearly states Talas(Travel Adjustable linear Airspring), the other F-series, meaning Float( Fox ,Load ,Optinum,Air ,Technology). Otherwise same crown and lowers, but different forks all together.That 32mm design is robust, durable and very nice if taken care of.

    The F-series uses a lighter crown and lowers than the Float and TALAS.

    Aside from all of that, don't some manufacturers have custom off-set on the OEM forks?
