Suntour XCM spring rate change

My daughter went and bought a Titan ladies bike (decision based entirely on colour scheme - not good sense). It has a truly horrible Suntour XCM fork which seems to have a spring rate designed for T-Rex, not light women. Her 55kg does no make it move except in a crash.

 

Is there any after market kit I can use to soften the spring rate?

Yep, it's called a Fox or Rockshox replacement fork. Otherwise it's not worth the time. If you could hunt down a Suntour Raidon or Epicon at a good price those would be great as well.

What Vangar said. XCM / XCT / XCR are all elastomer forks. Which loosely translates to Big Piece of Sh**

 

 

Hehe well they are amazing forks.....as in keeping the wheel on. But shocking shocks (dum dum tish)

Scrap the Suntour idea, you can't get replacement seals for them.

 

Neeeeeext.
