Suspension fork advise

[Dexter-morgan]

Hi All, I need you advise and opinion, I can lay my hands on a Rock Shox Recon Gold(at a good price), I currently have a SR Suntour Raidon X1 Air(less than 1 year old) will it be worth my while to sell the Suntour and buy the Rock shox? Your opinion and advise will be appreciated.

Nope. Not that much of an upgrade to warrant the expenditure. Rather save a bit more and go for the Reba RLT, which is MILES ahead of the Recon Gold.

 

AFAIK the Raidon is in fact Suntour's answer to the Recon anyway, so you'd be moving sideways.

Thanks for the reply.

Hey Dexter,

 

How do you find the Suntour? I'm looking at building up a 29er using that shock.

Any complaints?

 

Thanks
