Hello all,

Wondering if anyone has experience of how 150mm Sektors handle bigger hits... I'm a light rider (under 64kg with gear) and hesitate to slap 2.8kg Domains on the front of my enduro! Any other fork suggestions are also welcome ๐Ÿ™‚

Cheers,

Mur

What do you class as light freeride?

Changed from Pikes to 150mm coil Sektors on the front of my Pitch and i ride it pretty hard, prob depends on your take on freeride as to whether they fit the bill, i use my Pitch for dh and it handles it fine. I'm just over 14st kitted up so no lightweight btw.

I've got the Sektors on my Evil Sov and I've got Domains on my Nukeproof Mega. Sektors are good, the Domains are amazing. The Domains make the Sektors feel a little "noodly". If you can put up with the weight get the Domains, plus the Domains are less likely to suffer with stanchion wear as they're chrome (one of the main reasons i bought them)

Sektors should be fine and damping can be upgraded with Blackbox rebound assmebly too.

as long as you don't do bender style drops hucks with them they'll be quite happy.
I'd suggest the coil ones.

I've got some and with the standard spring they handle my sack of crap riding style.

Other option would no doubt be something by Marzocchi..

i prefer lyrics to sektors. the sektors blow through so easily even with chubbysprings!

Thanks for the replies all!

I admit 'light freeride' is a bit vague but I think my question has been answered ๐Ÿ™‚ (especially by the first post...)

Happy trails,

Mur
