Help with fork

[bikerboy15]

Could somebody point me to a fork that would work with this bike? Would like to have air dampening… and if possible less than 300 dollars. Thanks

That might be tough to find a fork for. It has a 1 1/8″ straight steerer. There just aren’t many aftermarket options that fit the bill. 27.5/650B bikes came to popularity after manufacturers had already made the move to tapered steerers.

I checked a few online stores and didn’t see anything that would work. Your best bet may be to scour eBay until something comes up.

This should work.

 

Edit wait that was a 26in fork.. let me keep looking

Okay… should be looking for like an old rockshox fork?

Yup saw that one! Is this a pretty good fork?

Good find Alvin! I didn’t check Chain Reaction. Seems like a decent fork.

Manitou is a smaller company but good quality..

SR Suntour offers some 9mm with straight steerers.  And a loyalty upgrade program.

Check this fork: Epixon 9  and here is the upgrade program.

Thanks a lot! Might just check that out. The Radion looks pretty nice!
