   Are they any good?
   I'm looking at the hardtail range, sub £800 and it seems that the fork spec is RST. Now, these forks have a bad reputation, but have they improved some?
   Is it just to keep the price down? I would've thought that on a £700+ bike that they would've specced a better fork?
   I notice that Cube and Felt seem to be doing the same. Is it a German thing?

   Yes. I think it's a bit opportunistic that someone is using it as a business name.

   According to their website they've been going since 1993, so not really.

    Frames are good quality. German friend of mine (and his wife) both have them and they were fine on the Alps crossing we did last year.
    Apart from - The rear X-Fusion shock which lost all it's air.
    Dunno how relevant this is to the RST fork, but another mate has a Commencal with a 130mm RST fork (bike bought from the classifieds) and the fork is great. Better than the RS Tora I've ridden.

    I was lucky enough to have a play on some of the Ghost models at the Dalby World Cup Round and was very impressed with their build quality and ride. I just have that nagging doubt in the back of my head re RST forks.

    Who else sells them other than CRC?
