Which forks?

BikerDan

I own a Commencal Combi R and it has 'Zocchi MZ Super Comps. I think they have 120mm travel. i have a max of £350 to spend. I want RockShox with U-turn between 85-130mm travel. Tora's seem good but there heavy. I like Recons and Revelations but there pretty much the same spec wise. Oh and i do Extreme XC/All-mountain so i need a strong fork but it needs to be light. Any advice would be helpful.[/img]

Pike 426s with U-Turn - sorted!

95mm - 140mm though

Revelations IMHO

Pikes? How heavy? 8)

And you need a new front wheel with Pikes (bolt thru axle) if you're running a non convertible QR hub.

Pike is good strength to weight, but youd need a new wheel too. Revs are lighter than recons, and have adjustable floodgate.

Toras= 2221g (4.9 lbs)

Recons 351 = 905g (4.2 lbs)

Revelation 426 = 1814g (4.0 lbs)

Pikes= 2435g (5.4 lbs) -

So in fact I have recommended you the heaviest - apologies :oops:

Air and coil make a different to above list, as does year. My 302 Tora solo air 2006 is 4.25lbs.

Sir HC

PIkes on an XC bike ?

Revelations would be a better choice. I would also consider changing the frame if your riding "Extreme XC/All-mountain", As the xc frame won't put up with it for long.

Are Revelations classed as All mountain forks? Where can i get them cheapest? 8) [/quote]

Depends on which version you want.

There may be cheaper, but Froogle is quicker to search!

A friend of mine offerd me his Manitou Slate RTWD forks. Good 4 XC?

Andy B

Not the best, the Revelations are better & lighter.

BikerDan
