Rock Shox Dart ?

albo

hi, just wondering if Rock Shox Dart are any good for dirt jumping and aggressive riding. i want small and light fork? and is it a good idea to get 80mm forks rather than 100mm? cheers.

I hear the dart isn't the best upgrade choice. What's the budget?

darts are not designed for dj you will end up dead :twisted:

if you want a small light jump fort you'll need to spend alot more than a dart (which is a fork for light xc) and get something like a marzocchi 4x wc for a really light dj fork or if you dont mind having a heavy fork (which you'll have to put up with for a strong fork) any of the other marzocchi dj forks or a rock shox argyle.

Have a look for an RST Launch DA. See a few new for about 70 quid.

albo

really?!
i trust your judgement
but i have heard alot of bad talk about RST forks? what sort of standard are these on par with? dirt jumper 3's?
thankyou i will look into it

Its a budget fork, and will be FAR more sturdy than a dart! Or siome cheap suntour.

A DJ would be a better bet, but you aint leaving much options with that budget.

what about 2nd hand forks? say 2006 dj3's?

supersonic

If not broke, would be better.
