What Forks - Help

rb199stu

OK this an easy one!

I have just picked a new frame and need some forks to match the rear (150mm). So the choices I have are:

Fox Talus 120-150 RL Float as fitted by manufacture. -£250 on eBay.
Fox Float 32 FIT RL 150mm - £209 from sendit cycles.
Rockshox Revelations RCT 150mm - £120 from Facebook Group.

What arexfolks thoughts on price vs quality of fork etc.

Cheers

Both Fox forks are pretty rubbish. The Revelation is the best of these forks but still flexy. I would go for a Rockshox Lyrik RC2DH

Thanks for reply, I should add all the forks are 2013 ish. It what way are they rubbish? Lack of stiffness or poor action?

How do you rater Fox FloatFloat 34 Evo CDT?

2013 / 2014 Fox forks were terrible. Rubbish damping and nasty flex.
Personally I wouldn't have a 150mm fork with 32mm stanchions.
What bike is it for?

Thought it may be both, doh.

It's for a Ghost AMR plus 5900.

I'm presently on RS Recon Gold 120mm

Have a look at the Suntour Auron, gets very good reviews

I thought the rear was 120mm? or was it increased?

rb199stu

The standard AMR is but the Plus is 150 mm.


Update,

I have now widened to:

Rockshox Lyrik RC 160mm
or
Fox 34 Float 160 FIT CTD

So decision made and forks bought, man thanks for advice.

In the end a set of 2015 Marzocchi 350 NCR came up in my price range from a mate, which will hopefully perform as well as the reports suggest!!
