which is better? ( forks)

lesz42

hate asking this, but going to upgrade my forks, what would you lot go for? ( currant forks are XCR)


Recon SL


or the Marzocchi MX Pro Remote LO ? (09)


i ride trails ( Llandegla and such like) going to get these in about 2 weeks time



also i have seen the Rockshox Reba SL 09, classed as XC forks, would they be stiff enough? for "normal" riding ( i like the fact they are light, too light?)


thanks!

Recon SL. Would suit a Aspect and trail riding perfectly.

I'd rather have a Tora race though... or this:

EDIT: I'd take a Reba over them all!

mmm recon sl is good ££ at merin


cant wait to get some better forks! going to get a shorter stem, just to move the weight back a bit


to make things a bit harder i like the u turn 318,? with 3 travel settings, bit heavy tho


got to make my mind up by the 25th!

Thing is with the Reba (and Recon and Tora race rather than SL, and 318 versions) is that they have the Motion Control damper which really lifts things to the next level.

the Reba SL seems good, but its very light, worry that it flexs? i have no idea just how stiff the rebas are, compared my currant forks, should i not worry?

thanks for the reply!

supersonic

In terms of stiffness, Reba is stiff for what it is. Recon is a little stiffer, and Tora stiffer than them all.

ah! thanks, that helps so much!

How about some RSTs?

Which is better? Theres only one way to find out....................

rebas all the way! my rebas surprised me at how stiff they are when you take into account their weight. and mine are 08's and the 09's are apparently a lot stiffer, especially ewith the bolt thoriugh axle.

I'd take the new sids, really not flexy and soooo well controlled.

Went from tora 318 coil u-turn and the sids are roughly half the weight.

should get friday, some Tora Race 09 forks! bit dear but seem good !



got them sooner, then expected, my recently replaced ( 3 weeks ago!) XCR, locked up again, after just 3 rides at llandegla

got the Tora race 09 forks, fitted them my self, with the help of an angle grinder! ( steerer was about 3mm to long,after i cut them, so mr grinder sorted that!)


forks as so much lighter then the XCR's!


just need to set them up! is the pressure chart thats with the fork, ok? i am 82KG


any tips?
