Do these forks exist?

I'm looking for some air forks with lockout and have been offered a set of 2011 Rockshox Recon Silver RLs.

They are off a Focus Black Forest so I reckon they are OE.

Any idea if they are any good, or what they're based on?

Also looking at some 2012 Recon Silver TKs, which would you go for?

Thanks.

They'll be very similar - it all come down to £££ and condition, which you don't mention.

Recon Gold RL exists. Not seen a Silver RL.

RL = motion control damper, TK = Turnkey, the former is more adjustable and better performing.

Apologies, the Silver TKs are about three months old and the "RLs" are described as very low mileage so I suspect their both in pretty good nick.

Both about £100.

If it is an RL, get that.

There is a 'Silver R' with external rebound adjust

Cheers guys, the RLs also come with a poplock handlebar jobbie so I think that tips the balance.

You can get the Silver TK for £115 new

Just checked it out on SRAM's site - The Silver R is lighter (than the TK) and has Rebound adjust
