New fork suggestions
Just purchased an '05 Specialized Rockhopper. Looking to replace the fork. I'm primarily an XC Rider who does enough trail to NOT want a completely XC Fork. I'm looking for a fork that's stiff enough for XC but can be soft enough for light to moderate trails. Right now, I've got a Manitou Axel Comp on the bike and it's pretty good...I'm going to move that fork to my Specialized Hardrock. Any suggestions for a fork that bridges the gap between XC and trail? I'm looking at the Manitou Skareb series, Manitou Black Super Air, and Marzocchi MX series, right now. Any thoughts?

Nothing beats a Fox fork. Fox RLT is the king of XC forks.

Re: New fork suggestions
I would recommend Rockshox Reba's. They are a sweet fork! They are adjustable which allows them to be used for variety of different types of riding. They come with a poploc remote too which allows you to lock the forks out on the push of a buttom and power up those climbs.

Dude, the Fox RLT fork costs more than your whole bike. Stick to what you understand. It's not even in the same league.

Why be such an ass? I don't recall SumMaleSpecimen even mentioning Fox as an option. The Fox RLT $600-650 price tag is a turn-off, especially on a complete bike that costs practically the same amount. |
