XC Fork Buying Advice - Cotic Soul 26'er

lucieandpaul

Hello

I recently bought one of the last Cotic Soul 26'ers and installed my current Rock Shox Recon Race forks, 100mm travel

Cotic recommend a 120mm fork for the frame geometry best handling etc and I've found the Recons to be excellent but do not have the travel i need for rougher rock gardens etc

I planned on ordering some Fox forks however my Cotic dealer has recommended the X Fusion Velvet RL's for the Soul.

Now being a brand whore I've never heard of X Fusion before, but trust my LBS very much.

I ride mostly trail centre red routes, and "off piste" natural rooty, rocky trails.

Any thoughts on these forks?

Cheers

Paul

Yes, lovely forks. All the information that you need is a mere click away on this very site.

Very well respected and great value.

Although personally I'd be looking for some good used Reba's.
