My RockShox tora 289 have recently been pinched 🙁
They where abit tired anyway.
SO I have £250 burning a hole in my pocket, i want similar travel with if possible lighter weight set up really.They are going a on Giant Trance.
Reliablity is important but I am not a heavy or aggressive rider so keeping he weight down is key.

Cheers

Reba, or SID if you can stretch the budget slightly.

I've just bought those Rebas and am very happy with them. You will have to budget for a shock pump as well if you don't already have one. They replaced Magura Odurs on my bike and it's been a revelation to get forks that I can actually set for my weight and general riding. Even with the lightest spring and no spacers I rarely got more than 50mm out of the Odurs and they weren't particularly responsive to small bumps.
