What 27.5" forks?

Motley13

Hopefully by the end of next month i will have a brand new 27.5" frame, few to choose from havent made my mind up yet. One thing i cant decide on is the fork. So what is the best 27.5" fork around??

What frame?

I have no idea what frame or travel..

But if you want the very best then arguably the BOS Deville.. but I dunno if it's available in 650b and it's very expensive

Arguable

Chose the fork based on the frame and travel required.

Not a lot of good on a 100mm xc frame.
Do BOS have a UK distributor at the moment?

Isn't it Surfsales, or have they given up on them too?

Which is why it would help if the OP told us what frame

BOS Distributors never last long. Apparently they all give up when they find that they can't get parts.

I am going to say Fox 40's in 650b as some at the WC's ran.

Fox 40's are never the best fork in any wheel size.

Not as good as Marzocchi 380 ti. I have ridden a Fox 40 air and the Marzocchi on the same day and the Marzocchi is much better, definitely the best fork I have ridden by a long way.

They are really nice forks when they work.

Until the OP comes back with a bit of info it's all Er Ok. And as he was online this morning, he can't be very interested.
So far travel from 100-200mm.

I think theres enough clearance in 300mm Super Monster T's to run 650b and SID's come in 80mm if he needs something out of that range.
