Fork Pricing Advice

[TyronLab]

I have a fork from my Silverback Sphere for sale, but I'm not sure it's appropriately priced. I'm a gravel and rigid rider so not up to date on suspension.

I'd happily take comments, quite keen to get it sold relatively soon-ish.

Thanks!

Decent price , people are more standoff ish when it comes to anything other than the two S bands ( Fox and RS ) but manitou are very decent products.

 

Everyone is felling the crunch now as well so even well off people are consciously spending less

 

drop to 2800 and i rekon it'll sell in a day or two

 

but i could be wrong , have a friend selling an excellent enduro bike(2023 bike) and great condition and very well maintained for 41k and he's not even had a single bite

Edit: yea thats a decent price for that, its better than the hordes of entry level RS junk floating around for the same price. I tend to be odd susp brand averse too purely because you can walk into any decent bikeshop and get a fox or RS serviced without worrying about them having parts.  But i still look at the others like DVO, Öhlins or the Mani’s.

If the market for enduro bikes is considered small in CT, its has to be bordeline non existant in GP. It surely doesn't help. Pair that with what i assume is the Trek you are referring and the the fact that it’s a fringe size (XL). its a hard sell even though it is an excellent bike. I basically bagged my xl Cotic rocket for just slightly more than that, considering you cant just walk into any shop and get one (which always helps push you to buy something you don't really need i guess haha) enduro bikes are n+1 toys.

I must say, I get that it's considered "alternative", even though you have a local distributor with service kits etc. I've ridden a few bikes, and this is one of the most solid feeling forks I've ridden yet. Little to no flex or play, and is really soft off of the top.

Considering what I see Judy Golds go for this is on another level.

Thanks for the inputs!
