Carbon mtb forks

Right now I have a simple rigid steel fork.
I want more suspension and losing some weight would not hurt as well.

Do these forks worth their price? Because that is a price of a new cheap full suspension bike lol.

Probably cheaper direct from Carboncycles.

They make decent stuff.

And I think you are exaggerating about the price, unless by bike you mean BSO.

Hmm "Disc Only Post Mount". I got sexy rim brakes. The two in one option is same price. I feel like I need an mtb fork though, mine is a road fork.

Yes I meant bso, I always wondered how they behave and how long they last. I imagine they are heavy and made from the cheapest components but then they have to comply with regulations.

Why carbon? I personally would go for a Mosso fork went rigid 12 months ago and never look back...

+1 for Mosso, lighter than many carbon (sub 800g) and a little more forgiving, good for light off road but not heavier duty stuff though as they aren't rigid enough.

Hmm I like the price, what's so special about this particular brand?

It starts with an 'M'.

Well played! M stands for M-azing and M-portant

Just an all round good fork, light, inexpensive and well engineered, I had one on my commuter for 2 years and it's now on a mates bike.
