    Forks.....

    At that price point I prefer the RS.
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    RS = Rockshox (Same as LBS means Local bike shop)

    I'd go Rockshox, generally better value but it's also down to personal preference

    Assuming they're new. If not depends on proice and condition.

    But probably the RS.
