Well, was rounding up a little, but still a cheap fork if it does the job

Have you seen these? I can only find them at freeborn in the uk but other x-fusion forks have been well received. (a bit more rounding needed though)

Saw the raidin ones, but not a fan of black stanchions, always look tatty aft a few months

That's my review up there.

I sold them on and got some rebas - tbh as much as anything because the rebas are 'nicer'. In terms of performance, I can't honestly say that the rebas were loads better - less linear (in a good way) but by and large, the bike rode well with the Epicon and it still did with the Reba.

I'd certainly recommend them though take note of my comments on the through axle and hub compatibility.
