hey guys i had some help a few months back about some new forks for my kraken max 100mm i believe.
ive finaly got the money together for them and have narrowed it down to some new sr suntour epicons.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2012-13-SR-Su ... 606wt_1270
anyone know the difference. or should i just get some 2011's http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SR-Suntour-EP ... 041wt_1037
or is there any other forks i should get.

my budgets around 160-165
cheers guys

    Coil forks but a great deal.

    I wouldnt the recon isnt in the same league a lot heavier over a pound and its a coil versus the epicons air . The epicon is a very good fork dont listen to the bike snobs its a good fork for the money.

    Not snobbery at all bud just a decent enough alternative option, as asked for, and below budget.

    looking on the sr suntour website it says the forks are quickloc 15mm and 120mm travel but on the ebay page it says 100mm travel and quick release.(confused)
    i cant actualy find the qr model on the suntour website are the ones from ebay fake.
