Anyone with some long term feedback on these. I’m looking at the boost XC with triple boss mounts for relatively non technical Scottish Highland riding.

Sometimes on a loaded bike. Which is where the boss mounts come in.

I’m currently using a set of random rigid Ebay forks on 650b+ so know the setup works. I’m just pondering investing in something a little more upmarket.

I really like mine - 29er. Previously had the On One and Exotic. These are a definite step up in terms of stiffness under braking (cf Exotic) and general ride quality. I would have sold you mine as splitting my Monstercrosser but they don't have the boss mounts.

All good. 18 months on mine.

Probably as good as the enve mtn fork I had before it really.

I've got fat ones with triple boss mounts and done about 10,000 kms, with plenty of serious lakes backpacking including gatesgarth and Helvellyn, both fully loaded.

Lovely and light fork, just a shame it's not 150mm.

But absolutely no complaints from a ride, reliability point of view.

Have had the non-boss ones on my Solaris for over two years. I did the HT550 with them so they can take some abuse.
