Rock Shox Poploc

trail jacker

hi all. just wondering about peoples opinions/experiences with r/s poploc. is it any good, and is it worth it? thanks

The adjust version is. The non adkust version is basically an on/off swithc for the lockout, and doesn't allow you to use any of the compression damping range.

the reason i ask is because the Rock Shox Tora 203 U-Turn fork is £115-ish without poploc, and £130-ish (on CRC), and i wondered if the extra 15 was worth it or not?

I find poploc an invaluable little feature, being able lockout the forks from a switch on the handlebars makes it alot easier when the trail demands you either have the forks open or locked out for things like climbing. Certainly worth having.

the poploc on my rebas is as new after 500+miles it works great. it's not really a full lock-out though, it's just more compression i think making the forks stiffer which you can adjust so it will still give if you hit anything big with them locked.

i just have the lockout on the fork and can easily reach it to lock it on or off when on the move.
