Looking for better forks on my zen 3. Need lock out at least and 140mm travel. Currently got sektor r on but can't climb hills with them things. Any advice is gratefully received :)

    How can't you climb hills?

    What problems are you having?

    For £80 you can put motion control in which locks out and adds much better (adjustable) damping.

    Though really if you're struggling to climb with it you've bought the wrong bike. And i hope you mean the lockout is for road because lockout is undeniably pointless off road.

    Na I want the suspension to stay locked. I can afford about £500 on new forks. Maybe I'm not as fit as I thought I was but pretty sure using more of the travel going up hill is not a good sign. And the bikes fine on the trails I do

    Different forks won't help you get up hills. Just get fitter.
    If your fitness is letting you down, it's your fault, and you are the one who can change it, not your wallet.

    A lockout will not help climbing if the head angle is the problem.
