Fairly light? compared to an argyle they're heaps lighter.take a look at the new x fusion velvet, very good reviews and its only $50 more (if you buy from the distributor). has a lot more adjustment than the argyle and is still fairly light
Never thought of it that way, so far though i've had no troubles with them and they're meant to be easy as anything to service/rebuild (theres a video, tech tuesday on pinkbike)i wouldnt suggest buying a fork from crc, i did and had to fork out a lot of money because shipping it back to crc to get it fixed under warranty would cost more than getting it fixed at my local shop.

well mine was a marzocchi, so i shouldve seen it coming. had to replace the rebound caltridge on it
but thats the tradeoff for buying things at such a low price. if you want to buy online thats yor choice, just dont cry when you have to pay $120 for a job that could have been done for free if you bought it from a shop
support yo local!
Thanks mann !! I just got off their website !!its basically an old fox fork. and everyone knows if its fox its obviously the best thing since sliced bread.
on a more serious note: it has more adjustability and only costs a bit more than an argyle, you can also set the travel to suit your needs from the factory, which means no more cutting up bars and cramming springs in to lower your fork. weight is also a big advantage, as a lighter front end makes everything a whole lot easier.
any bike shop can order in x fusion products from diymtb.com.au
if your budget is firm and you cant afford the velvet, the velours arent half bad either and theyre only $392. and you wont need a new hub to run it
mmm, was speaking with couple LBS today as well as the distributor for tha x fusion's... There are now down to $295 and $22 del. up here to the gold coast !! not a bad price at all.. but most shops are telling me to stick with tha rockshox brand.. something along the lines of; better fork as well as better name, servicing etc..10mm means you can run bmx hubs (so greater choice) but the fork flexes more
20mm is very stiff, has a great choice in hubs and forks
15mm is very new so theres not many forks or hubs around fir it, its slightly lighter than the 20mm and is stiffer than the 15mm
for the holy id go for the 80mm
Thanks singlespeed !!does the shop stock rockshox? because that might explain why they tell you to get that over an x fusion. both are good forks, but you get more bang for your buck with x fusion. either way both companies have similar warranty policies so youll be covered no matter what you choose.
ive seen many people running x fusion forks and only seen 1 case of the fork failing, and this guy is the definition of a hack. like 180s off buildings and nollie 3s down pretty big stair sets. most riders will be safe. in the pic you can see that it was probably a manufacturing fault
