hi, i have a fury which is a 2008 model (pic included) and i was wondering what was the maximum fork travel that will safely work with this frame?

stock models run rs tora with u turn which goes up to 130mm? would it be possible to install 140 or even 150 mm forks on that frame?

thanks

Daz

130mm is definately the design limit. You may be OK adding more travel but I always reckoned it rode lovely as standard. I've had good results adding extra fork to various bikes that felt like they'd benefit, and it's out of warranty anyway, I wouldn't expect major strength issues as they're pretty durable frames.

Mind you more suspension might solve that bump issue you have 😉
