Tesla Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Hi, newbie here needing some advice. I want to purchase a 2017 silverback sola 3 mtb, but I can't figure out where the fork places in terms of performance/quality/etc. It just says "Rockshox TK30 29”, 100mm Travel, Tapered Alloy Steerer, Remote PopLoc, QR Dropout" on the specifications. How does this shock compare to other forks like the Recon Gold TK29 and Recon Silver RL 29? Also, I take it, that it is a coil fork? From what I understand air is better, or are the newer coil forks on par again? Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

Coil is not bad and it will get you through it all but the air will be better. Buy the bike and look at 2nd hand options for an air fork
bertusras Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Not sure if it's Gold or Silver, but it looks to be the Gold, which is an air fork. http://i.imgur.com/Y5iCklo.png It appears to have the Air Pressure settings sticker on the back.

David Sutcliffe Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 Rockshox TK30 Gold is an air fork. I have one on my hardtail which I mostly ride Hemel en Aarde with. For a newbie it's fine.

Tesla Posted March 23, 2017 Author Posted March 23, 2017 Confirmed that it is an air shock. My guess is these shocks(TK30) aren't labelled gold/silver like the TK29.
