So is the Ti worth the extra cash and if so why? Possibly a moot point as the RLT Ti seems to be sold out, unless anyone knows different (at a reasonable price)? The Ti is the one I'd really like for my new 5 spot as it's got the black box damping and 20mm maxle instead of 15mm but am I am really going to notice the difference between that and the RLs with crown adjuster that Merlin are knocking out for £350 at the moment? All opinions splendidly welcome.
Cheers though, innit.
I've run a few different Rockshox forks with Motion Control Danping, and they were all pretty good.
Then I got a fork with the black box damping, and it's noticably better.
Ti... no. Seems to stain the stanchions where the bushing sits and seems to collect dirt and grime - as they're drilled out for weight loss.
BB damping is really good for repeated rock hits... but if you dont ride over medium'ish rocks repeatedly - one after the other, it's not that noticeable. (i.e. if you ride in the peak, you'll notice the difference).
Crown adjuster is better than a remote lever too.
