i asked the same question and had two replies that the AS-03 are pretty soft so i think im going to buy the as-02 for my pit pro 138 but would also be interested to hear some comments from people who would know?
I'm keen to find out too. I'm not so interested in if they are softer or harder, that can be change with different springs and fork oil, I want to find out if there is any difference in quality and range of adjustments?
There is a huge difference. Fastace have three models. AS-03, AS-02 and AS-01.
AS-01 is the top of the range and doesn't exist yet. It will have chromolly lower tubes with Ti Nitrite surface treatment and I think be 38mm. They will feature both compression and rebound adjustment on EACH leg. Also, no more nitrogen preload adjustment, but external spring preload adjustment instead. There is already a good Taiwanese fork like this made by DNM.
AS-02 uses 7075 aluminum lower tube in 38mm construction and has compression adjustment on one leg and rebound on the other. No spring preload adjustment except that done by modification by owner and the nitrogen pressure, they do need a shim stack for bigger riders.
AS-03 have chrome steel construction on the legs and are only 35mm. They also have a dummy compression adjuster that does nada. Still a reasonable fork just have to mod them yourself like any other fork to make them work for you.

That's not what I've heard. I heard they came out in sequence. ie 01 first then 02 and then 03. I"ve also heard that the GENUINE Taiwanese Fastace 03 is a very good fork. The chinese also make a knock off which apparently isn't worth bothering with. this is what I learnt today from researching it
Your confusing generational releases with fork models. Within the AS-02 model (which is currently the top model) has been generation 1 release, gen 2, gen 3, etc.
So each model is a fork design and each generation are just alterations within a model.
The difference in generations are that gen 1 was very stiff and also suffered from stiction. Gen 2 and 3 are soft and still can suffer stiction if not spaced correctly.
Your onto to it mack we stock both the As02 & As03 and the As02 is the best Fast Ace shock we can get our hands on at the moment. Although i'm a bigger bloke and have been lovin the As03 on my bike without putting the shim in...

i've got AS-02 Fastace forks they work fine for my weight of 65kgs but would like them a bit stiffer would i just use the fastace pressure pump and increase the pressure or ?
