Hey guys.

As the title suggests I am after a light weight set of forks, 100mm and around 3-500 tops.

What am I looking at for that price range?

Any suggestions would be a big help, I am only a few components away now from finishing my carbon KTM 27.5er build :-D

Cheers :thumbup:

Wow Rookie... thats a damn good find... that could have changed everything for me.

Tomorrow I was going to buy the Lauf fork for £487 but those Formula are really light at 1.5k

Ah bugger I see they are 26" forks, I need 27.5

I would have been really torn had they been 27.5 lol.

Appreciate the post though mate :)

The Formula Thirtythree fork in 26" should fit also 27.5 tires according to this:

Cheers prodigy :thumbup:

Managed to translate those 3 pages and some people are claiming to have had problems with them.

That coupled with the fact I don't have a clue about forks :lol: means I will stick with the lauf I think.

Cheers for the suggestion though guys :thumbup:
