Hi,
Purely out of curiosity I was wondering what would be the "next step up" as far as my front suspension forks go? I've got a KTM Ultrafire with these forks up front: http://www.srsuntour-cycling.com/bike/f ... -4672.html
There's nothing particularly wrong with them as such, I've just been advised that of all the components on the bike, the forks were the weak point. So, as I said, purely out of curiosity, where would I go if I were considering an upgrade? Stick with SunTour? Rockshox? Fox? Other..?
Thanks

rockshox reba is where i'd be at
Re: Fork upgrade
I'm also a fan of reba's.
Currently I'm running X fusion slides and they have been very 'fit and forget' which ticks the box of why I went for them.

Manitou Tower Pro forks are very nice. As ridden by the very discerning Johnnystorm, no less. There's a pair for sale here too, and they've been serviced so they're almost like new.

Re: Fork upgrade
I'd second the Manitou Towers as well. Love my set...

I'm only going to replace mine as they are the 20mm axle version so no good for my sp hub.
