CaptainDura Posted February 29, 2008 Share What would you guys consider as the best XC fork available under 1.4 kgs for a guy of about 80-85 kg's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supertorro Posted February 29, 2008 Share Go for a Marzocchi, they have revived the 32mm stanchion diameter XC forks... nothing could be better... maybe at your weight you should be less concerned about how light it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikalot Posted February 29, 2008 Share fox terralogic,might be just over or rock shock sid,just check how much weight it can take,im anout 70-73 and am bit skeptical of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted February 29, 2008 Share There can't be too many forks under 1,4kg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brakkies Sport Fotos Posted February 29, 2008 Share Fox het nie 'n lock-out op die handle bar, rock-shock reba sl het 'n lock-out op jou handlebar. Jy hoef nie een hand te los om die lock-out op die shock te set. Wat is die beste? niemand weet, dis net opinie's Wat is die gerieflikste? dis 'n ander vraag.

Bikalot Posted February 29, 2008 Share the reba is nice with the pop lock thing,rode a recon few years ago with that recon and it was really nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegend Posted February 29, 2008 Share The Pace, now being sold under DT Swiss' name is the lightest available, isn't it? It's a carbonfibre suspension fork. Very light, very expensive and apprantly needs regular and proper services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted February 29, 2008 Share Oom Poepoog - wonder net hoeveel ouens gebruik nie 'n lockout nie, net omdat hulle vergeet om hom weer oop te maak .......... was al daar en het die (geskeurde) fietsry hemp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTB Kid Posted February 29, 2008 Share Manitou R7 MRD, around 1.3kg, manual lockout. There is a carbon version I think but not sure if it actually shaves any weight. New SID is not bad - but around 1.43kg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swift Posted February 29, 2008 Share One of our new Carbon Hartail BH's came with a Terralogic Fork from Fox, and my word, it's the bomb. Don't think, just ride... perfct for the sort of tracks we ride on. Takes a bit of getting used to though... like not being able to load before a jump... almost had a big spill down the spruit when i first used it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewep Posted February 29, 2008 Share BB, that's the age !!!! And anyway, my lockout (on my REBA) "blows" when the lockout is on and I hit a bump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted February 29, 2008 Share I ride an F100X with terralogic and I love it but ja takes a bit of getting used to. Again as Popeye says it's personal opinion, some love it some hate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTB Kid Posted February 29, 2008 Share Terralogic is no longer available from Fox, but they do have something even better for 09. Fox forks are great, reliable, but not necessary the lightest. If you looking for a lightweight XC fork - either DT or Manitou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoBigBen Posted February 29, 2008 Share BB' date=' that's the age !!!! And anyway, my lockout (on my REBA) "blows" when the lockout is on and I hit a bump. [/quote'] Hey boet the only thing you blow ....... oh wait a minute ....... HR/Jason are busy ................. How do you know what that Reba does you've hardly ridden with it, nowhere it needed to blow at N/farm ............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_C50_ Posted February 29, 2008 Share If any of you have seen Popeye *try* to bunny-hop you WILL understand why he doesn't want to take a hand off his handlebars, ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
