Nuffy Posted July 28, 2008 Share Welcome to the Hub! I can't say I've used any of the above, but Fox seem to be in a league of their own. I'd say you can't go wrong there. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragson Posted July 28, 2008 Share I have the Recon and my sister the Reba. Till date we haven't had any problems with them, and I tend to be hard on my shox's. Both are nice and responsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrubber Posted July 28, 2008 Share I prefer the maintenance-free full cromoly forks with the retro air suspension system inside the tyres..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedi Posted July 28, 2008 Share fox all the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Zone Posted July 28, 2008 Share I think Fox's are overpriced (but are great shocks), the Recon offers good value for money and is a solid shock, more than adequate for most peoples needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rock Posted July 28, 2008 Share Fox are the best oem forks........only cause they are so expensive after market....... I'd say reba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MintSauce Posted July 28, 2008 Share Fox if money is not an issue. Rock Shox are great value for money and solid performers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBiker Posted July 28, 2008 Share Rebas are best value for money. I couldn't notice big difference between fox and reba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky DQ Posted July 28, 2008 Share Reba!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baaisikilist Posted July 28, 2008 Share Got a fox f 100 rlc and a 36 vanilla rc 2, both excellent forks, and rp23 shocks on both bikes, can't go wrong with FOX... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted July 28, 2008 Share I prefer the maintenance-free full cromoly forks with the retro air suspension system inside the tyres..... There's a lot to be said for this option, especially if you're running tubeless and can go lower pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martelpypie Posted July 28, 2008 Share The new Manitou R7 MRD only weighs 1.25kg. I have one and its a fantastic fork. Has rescued my butt a few times when other forks would have bottomed out. It has a variable lockout function that gets stiffer the more you turn the dial. Will not get anything else. Will buy it again if i need another fork. Buy now!

Dirtbreath Posted July 28, 2008 Share Definitely Fox. Easy to service. Not that the Rockshox is a bad buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoLefty!! Posted July 28, 2008 Share Rock Shox Reba. Fox is overpriced and overated.Rock Shox have excellent damping circuits and you can get a Reba to feel more Fox like with a simple oil change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
