Have seen some for a reasonable price. 26" 150/120 15mm tapered steerer. Travel adjust is important.

Are they any good or should I stick with RS

Compared to which RS mate?

I don't think there is any travel adjust fork as good as it's fixed travel alternative. They're a bit faffier to service too. The 32 in general has a reputation for flexy noodliness at longer travels (150 is 'long' in this case) and the service intervals for all Fox are much shorter than RS.

That said, some Fox dampers are much nicer than some RS dampers but some other RS dampers are in the same class.

Unless this is a race bike I'd be taking a good look at RCT3 Revs I think assuming Pikes are out of the question.

The bike has had a few forks in its time. U-turn Pikes, Rev Teams, RCT Argyles and dual position coil Sektors all good in one way or another but never quite right.

The Foxes seem to tick all the boxes I don't mind maintaining them as long as they're reliable. Just wondered if they had any particular faults
