Any good? opinions please... specifically looking for 29er forks

worth spending a little more on some on ones or even more on white bros et all

is the old they are all made in the same factory stuff true?

I run them on my 26” wheel single speed – no probs at all – seem sturdy enough - now you can pay extra for a nuke proof / white brother sticker or you can by the same fork with exotic on it

yep they're good alright, i'm running 29ers on 26 chameleon to keep the geometry similar to a longer fork and it handles lovely, looks good too!

I'm using an exotic carbon jump fork with a 29" wheel on my old GT Tequesta SS 69er. The fork has taken some serious abuse in the last 18 months and is still in one piece.

The quality of the weave is as good as anything from NP or WBro, so it's down to how bling you want to be.............

myt experience is the same as the above posters. Ive done some smallish jumps smoothly and some drop offs where of juts under a foot where i landed front heavy a few times and they are fine. I only weigh 10'4 though so not a heavy rider.

Absolutely fine for me as well. They're exactly the same as the Nukeproof ones, some people say they're the same as White Bros but I don't know that for sure.

Just bought a 29er one from classifieds based on the STW feedback a few weeks back.

Can't wait to hit the trails 🙂
