Cube Fork Question

[kooly]

Hi everybody.. I am chasing down an upgrade fork on my Cube Hybrid Reaction .. At the moment due to Covid it is almost impossible to get any decent RockShox for a good price so i have been looking more locally ( Australia) .. I have found this Manitou Markhor which seems to be a decent entry level Air Fork...My question is do people think it is a good enough upgrade from the SR Suntour XCM34 which the bike came with.... Dont know too much about forks ,,but do feel i need an improvement on the Suntour for the trails im riding...Let me know your thoughts Cheers Buy Manitou Markhor Mountain Bike Fork 29" Boost 100mm Travel 1.5" Tapered Black 15mm x 110 | CD

Hi Kooly,
I don’t know much about the Manitou forks but I upgraded my RockShox Judy Gold RL to a set of Fox Racing 34 Float Rhythm E-Bike 27.5" 100 Grip Sweep-Adj Tapered Boost. The Fox have a slightly larger offset from 42mm to 44mm. This is fine and the forks are night and day apart. See if you can see a set for sale. ?
Good luck

If I’m correct, I’m sure someone will put me right if not, the Suntour fork you have is sprung, so I suspect any reasonable air fork is likely to be an improvement.
