I like the look of the 2016 Charge Cooker 3 but am not too sure about the forks:

SR Suntour Raidon LO-R 650b PLUS lockout & rebound adjust. 15mm bolt thru.

Most bikes at this price have Recon Gold's or Reba's, are the Radions on there because more of the budget has been spent on wheels/tyres or are they a perfectly good fork?

They're probably on there because a 27+ tyre won't fit through a Reba.

£500 fork on a £1199 bike? Err no. Not happening.
Didn't realise there was a Plus sized Reba though, thanks for the heads up 🙂

The Fox Boost forks are about twice that!
