Hi Guys,

Another questions on the RR 8.1 - Does anyone know if these forks are air or spring? (and if they are even anygood!?)

Thanks! :shock:

    hmmm... is this still a good fork? I plan on going on the north face trail in Grizedale next month with it (purchasing the bike this evening)

    Coil is not better or worse than air, just different.

    At that price you won't get a better fork on a new bike, short of an amazing run out offer, many bikes retailing at £1000 have forks not as good as that.
