I have these on my son's bike and want to replace them. I can measure 120mm of shiny tube so thought they had 120mm of travel. But searching online suggests these forks are 100mm travel. Can anyone enlighten me please as what travel I should get on new forks?

    did it come with the bike as OE kit?

    what does it say on the makers webby.

    Aftermarket product and OE product can be very very different.

    Shiny tube doesn't mean travel. Stanchions are generally a bit longer.
