its not bad other than its pig heavy for what it is and you can get a 2011/12 revelation or sektor for similar money and spec...0

They have the wrong weight listed - that is for the old coil U turn 426, it weighs 4.05lbs.0

still damn heavy for a qr fork...0 -
Not that heavy for a 140mm fork, but you do pay for U turn gubbins, otherwise would be 3.75lbs. For the money, is a decent buy. If you want U turn.0

I'm after some forks for my summer season build but don't want to spend too much. Around 120mm-140mm preferably. White with lock off is all I really want. Don't really fancy buying second hand. Just know people rave about revalations. I've got about £300 max for the forks. Anybody seen any other offers? An also would a 29er summer season with 140 mm forks be a ridiculous idea? Or is it just a fad? I'm only 5'10"0

If you want adjustable travel in an air fork, and great adjustability elsewhere, I'd look no further - this is a very good fork, and is not heavy at all as Lawman says!0

with the extra 10% off its well under £300 lighter, and imo a better, more up to date fork, I never see the point in travel adjust really, especially as most forks can be done internally these days.0 -
But if you want external travel adjust is spot on, and the 456 is a frame that may benefit.
The RL is a superb fork too, and a great price. But a little different. Worth considering to save the half a pound, and dual flow adds a bit more control over succesive hits - but the Uturn really does add something to many riders, was seriously considering this fork for my Zaskar.
The old structure is a little stiffer too, if that floats your boat.0 -
I have to say, the 456 I had definitely benefited from U-turn forks far more than the Mmmbop that replaced it. I can only imagine that the Summer Season version would benefit even more.0

Think im gonna go for them as weight isnt really going to be that much of an issue seen as though its a steel frame. now i just need to find some decent wheels to stick on! Anybody know any cheap deals on a pair? need to be strong as im probalby going to fit some good chunky tyres ! :twisted:0
