dseenya Posted November 30, 2020 Share I'd be weary of over forking the bike. 130mm will probably be fine but at 120/120 it feels so planted. More is not always better. I was going to try the bike at 130 as the Helm can change from 120 to 160 in 10mm increments in 5 minutes, but having ridden it 120/120 I just can't see it being better. A proper trail fork like a Pike at 120mm and you have a weapon.Cool, thanks. Ideally I'd like a fork I can try at 120 & 130. Titan say it can take a 120 or 130mm fork.

Spoke with the designer when I got mine, one of the things we discussed was the fork. Pretty much agreed that a 'racy' trail/enduro build a 34 stanchion 130mm fork would be ideal. 140mm at the absolute max. I have a trail/enduro build in mind with one of the alloy models. Budget friendly, fast and fun. Jewbacca and dseenya 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might still try it at 130mm some time soon, but for now I'm enjoying it. I'm pretty sure my tinkering will start soon. I hope not.

Holmsie Posted December 2, 2020 Share Loving my 2020 Cypher Elite - apart from a shock issue (sorted under warranty) and the ubiquitous XT clutch issue (sorted now) - the bike has performed faultlessly for my needs. The value for money with Titan is hard to beat. I also love the reactions I get on the trails when people see how well specced(?) the bike is.
