Best budget fork

acf8181

I have a 2014 Specialized P Street 2, and am not impressed by the fork (as were the MBUK testers). It's fitted with a Suntour XCR i believe.

Now, i only ride fairly casually, so wouldnt want to spend much.....whats a sensible price to spend on an improvement?

I think you can find the Epicons cheap on Ebay.

what are the pro's and con's of each?

Epicon is a lighter, better made Raidon. More adjustability with the higher end models too.

Didn't realise some of the higher end suntours were that cheap.

How do they compare to rockshox of a similar price?

The Epicons are lighter than any RS at this price - and no RS are air sprung for that money either. Epicons can be had for 135 on Ebay. The Recon Silver is smoother, but much heavier - and coil sprung so less adjustable.

Thanks for the info.
Will look into the different specs.
