Are they any good?
I'm looking at the hardtail range, sub £800 and it seems that the fork spec is RST. Now, these forks have a bad reputation, but have they improved some?
Is it just to keep the price down? I would've thought that on a £700+ bike that they would've specced a better fork?
I notice that Cube and Felt seem to be doing the same. Is it a German thing?
My mate could do you a good deal on a 7000se with RS recons
Got any more info? I could very well be interested....
Did anyone else think this thread was going to be about err....'ghost' bikes?
yes bravohotel9er, it was my first thought.

Yes. I think it's a bit opportunistic that someone is using it as a business name.

According to their website they've been going since 1993, so not really.
I stand corrected. 🙂
Frames are good quality. German friend of mine (and his wife) both have them and they were fine on the Alps crossing we did last year.
Apart from - The rear X-Fusion shock which lost all it's air.
Dunno how relevant this is to the RST fork, but another mate has a Commencal with a 130mm RST fork (bike bought from the classifieds) and the fork is great. Better than the RS Tora I've ridden.

and there is a review of £850 hardtail. search google
I was lucky enough to have a play on some of the Ghost models at the Dalby World Cup Round and was very impressed with their build quality and ride. I just have that nagging doubt in the back of my head re RST forks.
Who else sells them other than CRC?
