Rockshox Recon or XC30?

If you had the choice of either what would you fit? Both are 29″.
XC30s are coil sprung and the Recon’s are air sprung.
The XC30’s have a cable operated lockout but no compression adjust, the Recon’s have compression adjust.
Recon’s have the second set of bushings, the XC30 don’t.
The Recon’s came off an old Trek I broke and ,apparently, have G2 geometry (?).
Anyone know of any problems with either of these forks?
Thanks
Dave

Recon is better I believe. Well I hope it is as I chose them over the xc30 on my bike a year or so back.

Anyone else?

Not really relevant, but I hammered a set of recon 351 coils for three years without service or problems. They then went off to live with a mate and they seem just as happy as ever!

xc30’s are alright. Kind of basic compared to the recons, though.

Edit* Recons should be a tad lighter and stiffer, too.

Also just remembered that my mate had a pair of xc28s before the recons and he was well happy with the upgrade

I have a set of 30’s on my Charge Cooker and they’re the gold stanchion ones with air. I like them, can’t fault them for me. I also had a pair of recons on my old Clockwork and thought they were awful. However the Recons were the basic model. Saying that though I am going to be selling my 30’s soon as upgrading to get a new forks. These were new from August and haven’t had a hammering, good condition, tapered with QR drop outs. Long steerer also (210mm plus) from an XL sized Charge Cooker 4. Email in profile if tempted.
