I’m looking to buy my first tapered fork to go on a Cotic Soul. I can’t help but have my head turned toward a Fox fork owing to their long standing reputation for generally being a cut above.. But I’ve been running a Reba 120mm Maxie for the last couple years and it’s hands down been the most reliable and best performing fork I’ve ever owned.
Also, I don’t really pay attention to the ‘advances’ in fork technology, and get totally lost on the descriptions/models..
A brief glance at the usual online suspects shows I can pick up a FIT / RLC / RLT / Blackbox / 32 / Ti or any kind of combination I fancy.
With Fox in particular the pricing is a head scratcher. Some 32’s (what’s 32 referencing. Stanchions?) can be found as low as £280, other as much as £600 but seemingly the same, save maybe a model years difference.
I think I like the look of 32 Float 120 RLC 15mm, but again I’m seeing pricing all over the place. What should I rely on? Which was the one to avoid? (FIT?)
Should I stick with awesome Reba’s or have they had their day? Will a Kashima Fox make me a happier person?
Please advise
