    I am an older rider who still tackles some technical single-track. I recently purchased a good used hardtail 26-er MTB but the stock fork was the SR single coil-spring unit with no damping - the crudest of suspension. This new Rockshox unit with air spring & adjustable rebound is SO much better for front-end control through roots & rocks and it was 0.8 pounds lighter than the SR, too! Very Pleased!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great replacement fork
    Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    I installed this on my son's 2004 S-Works Epic to replace the OG fork and the swap couldn't have been easier. The only trouble I had was with adjusting the rebound speed. The adjuster seemed to be stuck, and the built-in adjuster tool was slipping. I had to remove it entirely and use a regular Allen key. No big deal, but something to be aware of. Once the adjuster was freed, it worked just fine with the OG adjuster tool.

    The movement of this fork is as smooth as butter, on both the up travel and down. Air pressure adjustment is conveniently placed on the top of the shock tube, which is an upgrade over the fork which came on the bike. The original disc brake caliper bolted right up, no brackets, shims, or spacers needed.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great entry fork! 100mm travel is possible but...
    Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I bought this fork to bring new life to my vintage GT FS Timberline bike. So far, I love it, converting the threaded head end to threatless was simple (once I had the right tools) and installing the fork was easy. The only thing... it has a 20mm spacer in it! That's right, you will have to disassemble this fork entirely to remove the spacer if you want the full 100mm travel. It comes as 80mm out of the box. For that I have given it 4 stars, instead of 5. It is not a simple process, and if you are not confident removing the spacer yourself, you may need to bring it to a bike shop.
    Other than this, I've ridden it several times now and it is night vs day over the older elastomer fork, the ride is smooth for the light mountain trail riding I do. With the new headset, it was slightly heavier than the old fork, but not by much. Definitely a worthwhile investment to upgrade any older bike.

    I am so glad that one manufacturer makes a 26 inch air fork with lockout and damping control for rim brakes. And very attractively priced.

    This fork has kept my old Rockhopper on the trail and performing better than it did with its original coil spring fork.

    When my son got old enough, we bought him a frame (he's taller than I am) and he built himself a bike, mostly from my parts bin and one of these Recon forks (the second one I've bought).

    5.0 out of 5 stars A true low price fully Adjustable front fork
    Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Added this for to a lower end bike KHS Alite 50 that I converted to an Ebike. This conversion made the bike capable of over 20 mph with a moderate setting while pedaling. There is a reason Ebikes are limited at 17 plus MPH with a Suntour TXC front fork this bike took moderate bumps pretty hard. This fork was a massive improvement over the original fork. With air adjustment for weight and rebound adjustments this fork made this bike much more controllable. Before this upgrade this bike could become very unpredictable with larger bumps even on some paved paths. So this fork can be very useful for those who what to go down hill quickly or those like me that are kind of heavy with an electric push be more in control. A $250 front fork that keeps you from crashing is way cheaper than an injury or a trip to the hospital.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Solid retrofit for an old bike
    Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I have a couple 26" hard-tails that were reasonably high end in their day, XT / XTR. The old forks however were just not working well. I got the air spring version of these.

    While these forks are not as plush as what you'd find on a nice high end bike today they work well, probably better than the more expensive original when they were new. Stanchions are noticeably more beefy. Lock control is smooth, however the rebound control feels flimsy when adjusting and has limited settings.

    I wish Manitou had a fork with V brake mounts because I'd have tried one of each, but we're happy with the two Rock Shox that we put on our old bikes.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 7, 2020

    Got the Rockshox Suspension Fork for upgrading my old mountain bike. Did not hesitate to place order after discovering item on Amazon with clear descriptions.
    The fork arrived earlier than anticipated allowing me to proceed with the upgrade.
    Very happy with both product and the dispatch service.

    Been riding with the Rockshox fork on varied courses from country trails to aggressive/bumpy downhill courses and the performance is great! Customising the setting (sag/rebound) has enabled me to keep the front wheel well 'planted' to the ground giving me further confidence.
    Also, I can now say goodbye to the pain wrists/elbows due to the shocks transmitted via handlebar.
    Would recommend that the stanchions are looked after to avoid early deterioration of seals.
