What Forks?

Hi got a Rockrider 6.3 upgraded near enough everything except the forks, mainly ride trails but enjoy jumps what forks would you recommend, have a 9mm QR but may also upgrade wheels if needed, have around £300. cheers

What travel is a Rockrider, 120mm ? and what fork do you have a the moment?

but usual answers are: light weight option is the Rock Shox Reba the stronger option is Rock Shox Sector.

travel is 120mm forks at the moment are suntour xcm

Yep so either Reba or a Sector spaced down to 120mm would do the job and should be available for £300 and should be an improvement over the XCM

The Reba would probably get my vote it is strong enough for trail centre type stuff and general mountain biking. Or if you are a heavy rider or aggressive riding style go for the Sector.

Personally I'd go for the dual air version. Takes a while to set up just right but once you get there it's awesome...smash mine down alpine rock gardens a few times a week and it hasn't faltered once
