Dart 3 Fork. With or without poploc
obriends
Posts: 69
Looking for a new fork and after much debate decided on the Dart 3. Only thing I'm not sure of now is the poploc thingy. I'm assuming it allows lockout of fork on the move and as I do some (about 30%) riding on road this could be good but is it worth the extra 20 quid when I could just stop and lockout.

wouldnt bother with dart 3, save some more and get a proper fork like a tora, or a marzocchi mx comp, can get toras nice and cheap from merlincycles.co.uk

You don't even need to stop, just reach down to the top of the right hand stantion and move the dial. I don't have lockout on my RS fork and it really isn't something that bothers me.

I wouldn't bother with poploc on this fork. As above, save a just a little more. CRC had a Tora 302 for 90 quid.

so the Tora 302 is a lot better than the dart 3 then and from what I can see is about the same price. Looks like more research then. I have about 120 quid to spend btw if that changes any suggestions

Tora is a much better fork, larger stanchions, more adjustable, and in most cases lighter too.
