Out of interest, why?

Only ever used Rockshox, a Tora 302 and a SID Race. GF has Fox forks on her Specialized Era FSR. And whilst Fox seem to be a great fork am wondering if for the money they are that much greater than the Rockshox to make it worthwhile, especially as Rockshox have been run by SRAM for a bit.

it depends on what you are using the bike for.

I like the RS range upto the pikes, but I have concerns for the long travel single crown forks, due to previous reliability issues.


So for long travel single crown, fox 36 or something pretty from marzocchi.

Rock Shox my favourite, because there are a lot of forks to choose from, plus they are cheeper than the rest, but also you get same quality, more or less.
Curently have Dart 2 :oops: , but I would realy like to see some coil Lyrik's under £350 in the future, and solo air Domain.

Like Fox forks a lot - Floats are plush, light and pretty heavy duty. Plus of course they look cool 8)

Specialized Forks

FSR_XC

8) I like Spear & Jackson, as they a good value - their spades are pretty good too. 8)

Now seriously:
Why?
Does it matter?
Surely it depends on the model and what you are using the bike for?

Mark - it's like one of those "what's your favourite colour" questions.
But I felt compelled to answer.

Prefer Draper myself...

2nd vote for Spear and Jackson from me

I like 36's on my 6" and 888's on my DH.

If I hear another person claim that the quality isn't as great on my '08 888's as it was on my old '07 888's I'll go around their house and punch their mum in the Cervix, lies, lies and more damn lies.

My Noleen xc carbon , only 80mm of travel 10 years old and still lighter/smoother than your modern all singing / dancing fandangoes. Shame they are'nt purple as RETRO rocks.

same here.

I like the Dragon Culery from Ikea....

The forks have a good spade shape to them, so you can get a great big helping of pasta on there. Also, the points are not pin sharp, so for furious eating, it is easier not to stab yourself in the mouth.

All 8 fork brands and all models within each brand (designed for different types of riding :? )must have been tested by everyone responding to make the results meaningful. I very much doubt everyone has tired bikes with all the above suspension forks. I haven’t but my favourite is Rock shox

You might as well have asked, what forks do you own?

I was thinking of replying with something similar.

I like my Marzocchi 66 rc, Marzocchi Dropoffs, Marzocchi Dirt Jumper 3 and my Fox Talas 36.

Soon I hope to be liking my rigid Superstar carbon forks on my single speeded hardtail.

Specialized, Pace, BOSS, Society, Stratos, Showa? There must be others.

I'd like to be able to reply Foes-Curnutt XTD F1 !

not sure really. love my 36's on the spesh, but was also really impressed with my rebas in the lake district recently. the dual air system lets you tune really plush and smooth, plus they;re not too heavy. i like them both equally. each has its plus and its minus.

robotsuk

ok ok, i like rock shox too, oh and alot of you are asking why, i am not building a bike up currently, but was just casting a poll, just wandering why you like the certain brand and why

I like rockshox because their are quite tough, and have nice adjustments, on my xc bike

in other hands, on my santa cruz DH bike, i have fox 40's, Why? because they are light, but expensive, also i like the way they can follow the contour of SOLID surface's

Thanks

RS for me - I have Pike air u-turn and they are magnificent.
