Question,
Would it be a sensible upgrade to change my single air moco 351 140mm pikes to coil u turn 409 95-140mm pikes?

Riding a BFe, mainly FOD, i like the downs but struggle on the ups even locked out

the u turns are £185 SH, how much could i recoup from the solo's?

would i notice a difference, aside from assuming weight

cheers 😕

Why not air U-Turn?

Try contacting LoCo Tuning about upgrades for your current fork.

Best thing to do is just swap the air spring for a uturn coil spring assembly in the current forks

BFe climbs alright with 140mm of travel anyway so u-turn won't make a huge difference.

Have emailed you, (MP) any idea how much that would cost?

ross would that be the u turn 'bit' as well as the coil?
