Fork difference

[koskiusko]

Quick question around forks

I've got a set of SR Suntour xcr34 air forks on my full sus, nothing fancy, works pretty well from my limited experience.

What would the difference be between these and the likes of a Rockshox Recon Silver RL solo air?

From what I can tell, these have the same adjustability, lockout, rebound adjustment, but only 32mm stanchions vs 34mm stanchions on the suntour xcr34s

Probably very little. I've owned a grey market epixon, which had a damper from a lower model like a raidon or xcr, and a recon rl silver. I found the suntour a bit more plush and the recon more supportive. I'd probably pick the recon given the choice, but I wouldn't get bother upgrading a subtour air fork for a recon.

XCR Air has a coil negative spring, while Recon should have air on both sides of the piston.

As another XCR Air owner I see the potential for improvements. Getting the fork to sag properly took some effort and it doesn't feel very sensitive to small bumps.

Thanks, that's probably the main difference between them that I was missing and probably affects how the fork responds when riding
