Looking at a new FS and not sure what are the best forks...
RockShox Revelation RL Solo Air w/ 15mm Thru-Axle or Fox 32 Evolution open cartridge CTD
the Rockshox are on a giant reign and the fox are on a Norco sight 2se...
I have had a look at both of them and just wondering what are the better forks....

Cheers

    Fork wise, the Revelation. Fully adjustable low speed damping and floodgate adjust allow precise tuning of feel.

    The CTD system is still pretty good, the trail setting is a reasonable performer and tbh the norco is probably a better bike than the reign anyway, so I'd say go for the Norco with the fox's!

    I'd personally have the Norco, but on the forks alone i'd rather have the Revs.

    not worth it??im kinda reluctant to go down the 2nd road especially for that amount of money but it does look stunning,im just trying to get it right,either Giant Reign or the Norco sight 3se or rocky mountain altitude 50.which is at 1500 in evans,

    None of these are bad bikes, and the differences in some cases can be marginal. You just have a case of options paralysis!

    The Reign is an excellent bike & I would take Rev's over Fox CTD forks.

    The reign is a great bike, but you should really try and ride all three or at least get a car park spin first!!
