kallie469 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Appart from the circumstances of a 27.5'' and a straight steerer, which one of these forks has the upper hand? RockShox Recon Silver RL Suspension Fork 27.5" 100mm (2000g) (Bout 6.5k including all import duties and shipping) or Suntour Epixon Epicon XC Air Fork 27.5 120mm with Remote lockout (1800g) (Bout 4.5k including all import duties and shipping) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoman Posted July 13, 2021 Share My Epicon for my 26in bike is adjustable (although you do have to open it up to move a pin on a shaft) from 80-140mm I think it is... Had mine for almost 10 years odd..no Issues... There is a bike shop in Rustenburg (I cant remember the name now, at the 'Magalies Mall' or something) that sourced a straight steerer fork locally for my 29er...

Koos Likkewaan Posted July 13, 2021 Share Suntour Epicon all the way, when comparing to Recon Silver. I had the Raidon in my HT and it worked well without any problems. My son still has it in his Titan, and still working well. Epicon is higher spec than the Raidon. Probably around Reba level ?? or there about in my view.

kallie469 Posted July 13, 2021 Share I think Suntour is normally rated badly cause they are associated with those low end bike forks they make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the coil XCT & XCM models. Think you used to get a coil XCR as well, but now the XCR is a very decent air fork. Their Air forks are not bad at all.

dasilvarsa Posted July 13, 2021 Share When it comes to Small Bump Sensitivity the RockShox has the Magic. Suntour are not Bad Forks and Are Easy to Service, Long Lasting etc etc but they need a good hit to get moving. Cheap as Well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
