rather get an Epicon 09'

bigger stanchions, runs on air, looks cooler, lighter, and also, cheaper...

22 is rare and i don't know much about it...

but the Epicon is an air fork and is super-plush and smooth...

got 2 friends here who owns one and only negative review is that its kinda flexy...

but thats kinda expected as this is an xc/am fork and they're using it for way more hardcore stuff laugh.gif


Added on March 24, 2009, 12:19 amowh, btw, the 22 don't even have the most basic adjuster, rebound damping control doh.gif

i used to be using an 08' Epicon and used it for extreme stuff, managed to stand my abuse until i crashed into a gap which made the fork snapped at the arch...

it was a pretty good fork for the price...

then, suntour announced the 09' Epicon and after testing my friend's one, the diffrence between the 09' and 08' is very obvious...

the 09' is smoother, more responsive and doesn't top out at all...

priced at +-rm600 with remote lock out and rebound control, and the ability to change the travel to either 80mm,100mm,120mm or 140mm(have to dismantle though), its extremely value for money...

edit: lol, last minute u edit nih...

as i said, the 22 is extremely basic, specs on paper is similar to the Suntour XCR though real life i have no comments as i have not came across one before...

Thanks.. was one of the best vacations for some time. Am so glad I brought Hebe along.

The people down south's much more friendlier than in Taipei...people encouraging cyclist on climbs.... lotsa tourers too (people that got laid off or on unpaid leaves going on cycling tours).

Already planning for my next trip... bought vouchers for this Yoho Bikehotel tongue.gif

It's commercialisation going overboard.. can ride into the check in... got repair area and rooms with bike racks and mountain bike training course too tongue.gif
