2013 fork

 

The end cost was R4800.00, comes with a shock pump (std really when buying a new fork except for Fox) and a 2 year warranty!

 

The challenge is finding a 26'er fork that is 650 convertable and at that price too ... a bit of a challenge, especially as I was looking for a straight steerer.

Further to this, Mr Patrick Morewood has been trying out the forks and will next year be offering his PYGA's with X-Fusions as he says that this is the first fork that does his bikes justice .... big words!

yup! I was chatting to Mr Hopkins and he said the X-Fusion is a worthy alternative to the Pike. Especially at about half the price.
