How do these forks perform under a heavier rider - I'm 6'3 with a lot of muscle. Am I gunna have to upgrade the forks on my Lapierre Zesty?

    Performace are quite good, the crappy ones are the evolution series, so don't worry performace wise
    although may you find them a bit flexy if you ride aggressive and you weight a fair chunk.

    Thanks, if I wanted to upgrade could you recommend anything better?

    A rock shox lyrik or a fox 36 depending on budget

    Rockshox Pike is worth a look as well...

    The pre 2015 Fox 34 is very flexy. I'd replace it with a Rockshox Pike.
