Fork upgrade

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

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.

Blimey, discerning eh. I'll have to have a little sit down. :lol:

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