Im on the Hunt for a Sus fork for a SS Genesis i0 as I took the plunge and bought new due to a lack of SH stuff.
What du recomend? quite fancy a lock out for climing stood up...
Want to spend up to £300 max, ideally a little less.

Saw them Clink.... they be very tempting!
Got offered a tora for very little cash on top, just seems a little heavy.

i used a magura odur on my Io. think it was £200 (or was it £100???) from crc. has a lock out, and is nice and stiff. also pretty simple too 🙂

I'd go for this over the SL...

I have the 120mm with maxle, and the difference in damping performance between it and standard Motion Control RS forks is significant.

Easily a match for the Fox Float or F series.

Does it have to be 100mm? otherwise how about asking Ian if he can get hold of any more of those that I've got 😉

Then it would look Juuuuust like Elliots tho
Has to be 100mm stack, so as they're built that way, they'd do the job!

SM... Yes that car park at 5 to meet with sponging machine.

09 Reba Team for my i0 but if Merlin had that offer on when I got mine I would have got those instead. Poplock went in the bin after 10mins mind you.

I like my MX Pros with ETA on the inbred. Very simple to use and at 4 years now without a service or losing any air at all very reliable.

So that is quite normal for us mature folk ( except Dibbs of course)

Any with lockout would be nice, had Rebas with poploc on my Carver (gone now) and Bomber SLs on my Argon s/s. Tbh I prefer the Bombers as the lockout winds down through xc settings to all mountain.
I've had rigids on all my singlespeeds at some point, and whilst they're light and good looking an adjustable suspension fork makes for a better bike and in my case a faster and smoother one.
