almost a thousand quid for a fork??!?!? blimey thats a lot of money.

In line with the SID World Cup XX, not surprising. Makes the Reba World Cup which retailed for £500 in 2007 look a bit of a steal though!

its almost as if the manufacturers are making prices so ridiculous for the top end stuff that they are hoping we will be fooled into thinking that the lower spec stuff is from bargainsville, which it isnt.

Still confused about sector...is it a longer travel PIke?

allthegearnoidea

had a nose at the price hart in the lbs on tuesday, top end sids are on the grand mark, the boxxers are somehting like 1300!
the guys were saying that some brands are upping there prices by 18% :shock: :shock: :shock: and not a lot of improvements over the out going stock!!

Cferg

What are they to replace though? Does the 'Sektor' replace the Tora?

For the 3rd year running. It's a shame, but arguably prices had been held low for a long time, we're now paying the price for that!

Sektors are a sort of all round longer travel fork for the lower but not budget market, I think.

supersonic

Sektor would have been called the Trail Recon, but they called it Sektor to make everyone think it is new and better.

thel33ter

Sektors seem a good price, but its a crap name IMHO

Anonymous

wouldnt the trail recon be the revelation?

supersonic

Well, a lower price and less adjustable Revelation, which is what the Recon was.

reminds me of keith lemon....

Cferg

Ah right, I see, any ideas how much the solo air u turn version is? Just googled it there, nice looking fork actually, nice to see they've allowed some of the higher-performance on a lower budget bike.

I need a rev xx world cup in my life

lawman

i think ill go for the rev rtl ti 15mm at a nice discounted price 8)

might ask the folks at ibis to give me a mojo with no shock and put on a monarch on it, have to say i prefer them to fox now, way cheaper, more adjustable and 95% as good

lawman

£579.99 for the rev mentioned above, and monarch shocks range from £219.99 - £248.99.

equilivant fox float is £739 and rp23 shock is £349. so the fork is an extra £160 and shock is an extra £100, so why arent more complete bikes coming with rockshox front and rear? the performance is barely different and some reckon the monarch is almost as good as the CB DB coil shock downhill

supersonic

Fox still have the 'name' and manufacturers know by sticking a basic fox it in might sell more, and makes the bike look better value.

ilovedirt

The sektor doesn't seem to be as "budget" as rockshox made it out to be....

supersonic

That is why tis fork has been renamed and rebranded from the Recon Trail forks

Dick Scruttock

Just noticed all the carbon steer revelations are running the new 15mm maxle. I wanted to keep the 20mm one and have a carbon steer and crown.

paulrockliffe

I assumed Fox make more money by selling their forks cheap to manufacturers to get exposure/free marketing etc, sell a shed load, so hike the prices for the forks on their own because they're not that arsed about selling the forks aftermarket. Plus people still seem to be buying them!

Dick Scruttock

Does anyone know the launch date for the new rockshox forks?

xtreem

Some are available now, like at Merlincycles.
Recon RL and TK and the Revelation RLT.

Hmmm, whats the chances of 2010 bargains being had? Fancy a pair of Revs for the Heckler, anybody seen any good deals?

alexj2233

Merlin have a spectacular deal on the race for less than £300. I think it's out of stock at the moment though.
