NotSoBigBen Posted February 16, 2009 Share For you MTB ekspets (hold off you language fundis just a joke ...)! Just a simple question:- Rockshox Tora 302SL (2008 non air) or Manitou Skareb Platinum (circa 2005 - just serviced - air with SPV) For those that want to why the one over the other?

NotSoBigBen Posted February 16, 2009 Share Hi DanXT - yip I have the Tora on now and it is way heavy, however the Skareb looks 'dated' and has those 'thinner' stanchions etc. Having said that it is in great nick and it has been serviced in December and not ridden since .......

Daniel XTR Posted February 16, 2009 Share IIRC a SID is like a whole 1kg lighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirtbreath Posted February 16, 2009 Share Rode the Skareb on my old K2. Really enjoyed it but could feel the improvement when I moved over to a Fox. Never ridden a Tora so cant compare it to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
