Replacement for a RS Tora 302

steelo

I have a Rockhopper 2007 with a Rock Shox Tora 302 fork. I'm in the process of upgrading various bits and pieces and i'd like to get a lighter fork to replace the Tora 302. I'm assuming a Reba (100mm) would be a straight swap and will shed quite a bit of weight but would like some advice/opinions before I do so.

I've done the wheels and drivetrain and hopefully will also do the bars, stem, seatpost soon too. I'm hoping for a lightweight XC bike when i'm done.

Many thanks.

Reba sounds ideal.

I guess it's a no brainer as Spesh has this fitted to their top-end rockhoppers anyway.

Any opinion about Rock Shox versus the likes of Fox, DT or the other fork brands?

DT tend to be lightest, RockShox the better value. IMHO ;-)
