Been looking for a new set of forks but there is limited reviews available on some. Was wondering if anyone has experience of some decent all mountain/free ride forks.
They will be used for anything from uphill, jumps and light DH. Currently I run Marzocchi 66 RV3’s. These are quality forks which still work great, but I fancy a change and I’m looking at changing my frame anyway. Also they are very heavy, so I’m looking at building a lighter rig.
I know Marzocchi offer some decent forks but I want a change (and they’re generally too heavy). Fox also offer good ones, but I’m fed up of seeing them everywhere (and I think the logo’s a bit naff). There are 3 main contenders as far as I see it (from 2013 onwards).
Rockshox Pike RCT3 (travel choices: 150,160mm)
Manitou Mattoc (travel choices: 140,150,160,170mm)
Magura TS8 R 150 (obviously 150mm)
I’m only interested in function here people, ignore price (weight is also similar in these 3 choices). 26″ wheels only!!!
Thanks
