Hi
Looking for some decent forks around £100, for XC use.
Found these 2

http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/RockShox_Tora_302_OE_Suspension_Forks_2009/5360045727/
Any idea which would be better? Whats the differecen between the Tora 302 and the Tora SL?
Any other options around £100, and anyone got a wiggle voucher? 🙂
decent for 100 would mean secondhand IMO
I am buying them as a gift, so 2nd hand isnt really an option. Persons previous forks were some crappy manitou jobbies that have seized, so I figured the Toras would be a decent upgrade?
Either of the Tora's will be fine though the SL I suspect is lighter given 2010 specs?

they're both good value forks, one of the reasons so many firms use them.
I can second that about Toras. Heavy though but for the money very good. Good forks to learn how to maintain them on too.
I think Recons can be had for about £100 s/h, loved mine.
£5 off wiggle order voucher any use? Forwarded the mail to you if it is 🙂
You could get some rigid carbon ones for that price.
They'd be a lot lighter.
A lot more reliable.
Look nicer.
And you'll be surprised how well thay actually soak up the small stuff.

I got some recon 327 solo air for just over your budget from merlin some time ago and I'm happy with them.
If you can stretch to £150, the [url= http://www.merlincycles.co.uk/marzocchi-and-rockshox-suspension-forks/rockshox-suspension-forks/rockshox-tora-318-air-poploc.html ]Tora 318[/url] has Motion Control damping like the mid range Reba, Revelation and Pike.
The SL has a lighter steerer. Pretty good fork for the money, once it's settled in.
