RockShox Recon Silver RL Suspension Fork - 29", 100 mm, 9 x 100 mm, 51 mm Offset, Black, Straight, D1

Easy to install except had some difficulty with the little keeper that secures the cable to the fork. Used a couple of zip ties. Nicely adjustable and takes a beating.

This is a great upgrade coming from basic XCT suntour, is light weight, is a really improve for the driving, more confortable and secure, I'm doing better on downhill becasuse I feel more secure, the rebound control works great, and the bike looks really cool whit this fork, totally recommended.

What can I say, rockshox is one of the big names for a reason! Bought this to replace my sr suntour xcm and right away there was a noticeable difference in weight and maneuverability. I have yet to trail test it but, I'm already confident that it will far exceed my expectation. Be warned it doesn't come with a crown race so do your research and make sure to be prepared with a plan to remove the crown race from your old fork or be smarter than me and just order a new crown race when you order the fork. Also, if you don't have an actual air fork shock pump get one. I weigh 225 and the stock air pressure in the fork was not enough to handle my body weight and a regular bike pump isn't suitable for airing up a fork and can cause damage

Excelente muy buena

Just got this today and installed on my 2021 Giant Talon 2 29er. Took several pounds off the bike, and wow does it ride smoothly right over curbs. Comes pre-pressurized with about 100 psi of air which, according to the fork's guidance, is good for someone 160-180lbs. I'm 175 so it worked great for me.If you want to install this yourself, you're going to need a bunch of tools:- Hammer- Weighted rubber mallet- Bike multi-tool- Star nut installation tool- Flat head screwdriver- Several razor blades- Thick work gloves- Pipe cutter- Bike stand or something else you can mount your bike to for working on it.The part that takes the longest is removing the crown race. The stock one was compressed to my stock fork tightly. I didn't have a specialized Park Tool crown race removal tool (because I'm not running a bike shop...), so I had to use the razor blades to wedge and hammer one in between the crown race and the fork's top, then hammer in another, then another, etc to slowly lift the crown race. Be careful not to cut yourself or destroy your old fork!Also, highly recommend you pick up a star nut install tool (~$25) to save yourself screwing up your new fork, and a pipe cutter (also ~$25) that comes with a deburring tool to cut the fork pipe smoothly and avoid getting metal shavings from a file mixed into the grease of your shiny new fork. There's a broad selection of both here on Amazon.I've only taken the bike around the block and over a few curbs so far in test riding, looking forward to getting out on a ride this weekend!

Replaced a SR Suntour spring fork on a Cube eBike.Pros: Easy install - with the right size / wheel mount / steering tube it fit right in. Works as advertised, adjustable, lockout functions, major improvement in the ride compared to spring fork.Cons: No attachment points / screw holes for fenders or lights that the Suntour had. Zip ties to the rescue... Also, I would say the rebound settings range from slow to really really slow.I was definitly eyeing the $150 random air forks on Amazon but for an extra $100 you get the Rockshox quality.

Replaced the factory garbage forks on my marlin 5. It wasn’t terribly difficult but be warned it does require some mechanical ability. I reused the bearings from the factory fork. You also have to trim the down tube and install the nut inside the down tube. I use this bike for commuting to work and these forks make a world of difference. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because of the compression/ rebound adjustments. It has the ability to be adjusted but to change it from anything other than full open is too much. Idk if I got a bad set or there is supposed to be a break in period but that’s my impression. Still worth the upgrade but maybe a different model would be better.

You can buy a cheap 29 inch hardtail for $350 on Amazon, and then put this fork on for another $220…. and your bike is gonna ride better than any $1000 bike that is still using a Suntour spring fork. If you want a new bike that comes with a fork this good, you’ll be paying $1500 at least. I put it on an old Nashbar, and the bike feels utterly transformed. The only difficult step is removing the crown race from the old fork so that it can be used on the new fork. Most shops can do that for you for about ten bucks. Highly recommend.
