Thank you so much, I’m thinking to get this fork as it will be a huge upgrade, will get a better bike in a year or so anyway and this will work well for what I want it for!
Silly question, why are you planning to swap the xcr? Are you having a problem with it?
If you’re only planning to keep it for <12 months it seems foolish to swap it if there isn’t something wrong. No its not a great fork but, if the only reason you want to swap is people have told you it isn’t, just ride the thing, save the cash, put it towards the upgrade next year.
(the liklihood is, unless the fork is already shot, if you’re riding the bike “hard enough” to find a problem with the xcr performance you’re going to kill some parts of a bike at that price point anyhow so you’d be better keeping the cash to replace the brakes, wheels BB etc as they fail)
