well its up to you... if you saja want to change for the sake of changing.. then ok.

otherwise i suggest you save up and change later on something that can give you a better performance different rather than wasting the money on something not. Suntour Epicon should be a good aim for you.

and everyone is giving you the similar advise that we learned. or go through the experience yourself and dealt with it.

sheesh the very definition of askhole.

for fork, just stick to fox or RS Recon n above.

Rest is not really worth the money for what u get..
Remember that poor man pay twice...

XCT to XCM
bike shop super hapi ...then next time XCM to XCR ftw

sebnimh84 can recommend the reliable seller on taobao? thanks.

Never dealt with any of them vendors from Taobao before - cannot read mandarin. Haven't purchased anything from them yet as a mate of mine who usually buys from them is not around recently heh

epicon should be good enough for beginner... ride more and learn then in future time u will know what fork suit u...

oh ok

finally a good advice

i wouldnt ask people who spend more time infront pc copy paste article. Got any questions which required rational answers pls go kiara pondok or frim steroid bottom.

you just choose brand; travel of fork need to follow your frame.

there is no such thing as know what fork suit your skill unless u talking switch from XC to AM or to DH.

when the rider know wat's going on, rider will choose the brand and model he want depend on the budget...

btw, i think epicon should be good for entry level...

You just need to appoint a good forwarder to help you bring the things from taobao...
Seller in taobao can be seen there... depends on how many diamonds, crown, or gold crown they get.

U choose brand and weight only; rest u cant decide as fork travel is specific by your bike frame unless we are talking change bike instead of change fork.

i got rs reba rlt 120mm 2013 to let go..800, i giv u..who want? hehe

n sure, can nego

And to fan the fanbois... Epicon forks are used on pro level enduro bikes this year in the Enduro World Series. For example Tobias Woggon

enduro...new marketing term

Still mountain bikes... It may exist to sell more 27.5" bikes. But to me, ride whatever floats your boat. And thing is, The bikes created for this looks super sweet!

ya agreed.
saw a video on pinkbike that got two guy riding hardtail at trail....really ball of steel

found the video

For me, squishy or hard tail, if you have balls, you have it. if you dont, you can have like a full meter of travel and still cant drop.

Cool riding. That final drop is massive!!

And i like the x-up he did.

Which shop in Klang valley sells X-Fusion Velvet and/or Marzocchi 2013 Corsa forks? Looking for a 26" 100mm travel XC to replace my aging Epicon. Looking for something other than Fox/RS/Manitou/Suntour/Spinner. Saw some Marzocchi's at Rodalink but are the older models.

Just serviced my 2009 Epicon fork recently. Bushings is a little worn down and had some play. It scratched the air spring lower stanchion a little but since the fork does not have an oil bath (uses grease instead) nothing to worry about. Some amount of chatter on rough terrain. No biggie but think time to change soon. Have gone through many hours of fun ride with it and love it to bits. Very easy to service and low maintenance. Quite a good fork other than mine lacks low speed damping and suffers from brake dives. Love the remote lockout for climbs. The newer models seems better and much improved over the older models but want to try something else.
