Ok,i have a GT agressor 3 with suntour xcr v3 forks on it.As a few people on here suggested,to change the forks to something more lighter and better handling...what forks does any of you suggest?
I have been on chain reaction and i must admit,im a bit confused by it all.
I would like a lighter fork,im not bothered if its last years model e.t.c as i am on a bit of a tight budget,but would like to look into the more 'mid range' market of fork.Something more 'air sprung' if you see what i mean.
I could possibly go to 400 quid at a stretch in a few weeks time.
Thanks for you input in advance.
Oh,the sort of riding i do is various,so anything from light trails to maybe throwing myself off of small jumps when i get my confidence back.

Stock answer would be to look for a rock shox reba, you should get one for around £270
Giant Trance
Radon ZR 27.5 Race
Btwin Alur700
Merida CX500
+ some other bikes.
retired 9.6kg Carrera Kraken
The Carrera Hardtail combined thread - come on all you Carrera's!
The Sons Scott Genius RC20 build
If you want strength go for a Recon Gold RL
If you want lighter weight go for Reba RL
If you want slightly less weight again and even better damping go for SID RCT3
My personal choice would be the Recon Gold RL, reasonable weight and good damping for an affordable price.
