Pittstop Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Looking at getting a AM/FR fork, and saw that Suntour had a recent-ish addition to its range of the Durolux. It seems to have 1 or 2 good reviews, and is about half the price of its competitors (was originally looking at getting a Rock Shox Lyrik or Marzocchi 66 ATA). Anyone had any experience with these new ones? Or should I bite the bullet and go for one of the others?
braailegend Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 While searching i came across your post. What did you get? Im considering getting the durolux.... As its the only cheaper option with decent travel and really, im not to fond of Rockshox revelation's

Andy_Mayhem Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Been riding the 2013 140-180 travel adjust Durolux for a few months now. I am on the heavy AM/light freeride side of things and have had no complaints as yet. High and low speed compression adjust and on a relatively light tapered platform. One negative is that the rebound adjustment is not as distinct as it's RS counterparts, but beyond that it's been holding up really well.

Hairy Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Andy, what sort of price can one expect to pay and where did you find the fork?
braailegend Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Dragon sports have them and I found this, so should give an idea: About half the price of same type forkshttp://www.cyclesphere.co.za/pdf/2013-SR-SUNTOUR-FORK-PRICE-LIST.pdf I see crc is having sale aswell on 1.5" fox talas forks, very tempted
Pittstop Posted June 2, 2013 Author Posted June 2, 2013 Andy, what sort of price can one expect to pay and where did you find the fork? Got the 140-180 about 3 weeks ago. Was R5250
Flowta Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Andy, what sort of price can one expect to pay and where did you find the fork? According to the pdf price list braailegend posted the 160mm is 3600
