[#2658101]

I have two sets of forks available to put onto my 09 Giant Anthem X frame. Both are 100mm, the FOX are a bit newer. The bike is mainly used for events such as the 10@KT, Ben, Keilder 100, Puffer etc. Which forks do you think give the best performance and need the least amount of care?

RS SID Team (09) or FOX F100RL (10)

Thanks

30% off 2011 Rockshox at Evans online at the mo. That made the decision for me. Get 'em while they're hot, they're lovely!
Sorry, slow day at work

I would also say the Rockshox, purely because they are better value than the Fox, for fear of then contradicitng myself, i would buy the Fox's because if I am not mistaken, they cost about the same and when youre conversing with your mates, you can say youve got FOXES! And its the feel good factor everyone wants ๐Ÿ˜€

I already have both sets of forks so price isnt an issue. Thinking I might go with the Fox just for a change but am not sure about the performance difference.

I have both on two different bikes, got to say the foxes work better for me.

fox graphics are gay, but the f100 is supposed to be very good

Why not try both and see which you like best?

If you have both forks available and the cost isn't an issue, Fox.

Which way round do you intend to fit them?

Have '09 SID on one bike (raced for last two years), and '11 Fox on the other bike. No competition, the Fox is a far better performing, you actually have to get used to a fork that works smoothly through it's entire stroke.
