    Got this fork on my winter hack hardtail and it's far better than it should be! Does benefit from regular regreasing of the lowers but I'm going to try converting it to an oil bath instead, others have done it and it apparently makes a big difference.

    Used to had an old Suntour Epicon 26, is difficult to fine tune it, but excellent behavior for the price, remote lock out, and sooooo easy to maintain, and not so often than other premium brands, now riding Marzocchi, better performance but more complicated, the same as a Fox brand

    i prefer coil to air, as long as you stick to rockshox or suntour as they do have different springs available. i have a rockshox xc30 with an extra firm spring, it's great.

    I'm an older rider and weigh 220lbs. Anything with a spring is a pogo stick. Rockshox TK 30 were a nice pair of....pogo sticks. lol I love my Marz Bombers dual air. Find them used for less than 50 bucks....they work. May have to rebuild them. But I can put 50lbs of pressure in both chambers and hop a 3 foot curb and not feel my bones vibrate like a spring coil. ha ha

It is a great shock and there is a Suntour for all riders and all applications. I highly recommend them.

    Hello from Chile, I think the scale 980 2021, comes with that fork, but it has remote lock,
    according to the price $$, of the 980 and 970, in Chile they are worth the same $.
    which one do you recommend? and because?

      If it is coil it can't have damper, more like spring tension. XC and recon have many variants but overall recon is superior. XC was good in its time many moons ago.

    Anything that says SR Suntour is meant for guys weighing 150-175lbs. When your older like me weighing over 200lbs. Its Rockshox Recons. Holds me up, keeps me grounded on trails and the legs are 32mm. Less and it becomes dangerous....yes Recon is $330.00 CAN but that's the cost of safety.
