Rockshox reba rl 130mm 29er boost forks on a Haibike hardseven 2.5 ?

[Slymobi]

Advice please Seen some used rockshox reba rl 130mm 29er boost forks for sale in my price range and was wondering how they would fair on my Haibike hardseven 2.5 that currently has stock suntour xcm 27.5 boost forks.
Are the Rockshox reba's well out of the bikes comfort zone or would they still be classed as an upgrade to the suntours ?

Regards

Don't know the answer to your question, but you'd stand more chance with a helpful subject line such as "rockshox reba rl 130mm 29er boost forks on a Haibike hardseven 2.5?"
That way, people with interest in or knowledge of either of those components might have a look.

They would be a good upgrade and noticeable difference but just check that the axles are both the same as in 15mm bolt through on the boost width. not quick release.

Yes they are 15mm thruaxle . So no issues with current 180mm rotors fitting ?

shouldnt be. if they are a slightly older model you may need the 20mm adapter, but thats a standard thing to do.

Thanks. Gutted i didnt even think about steerer length and just discovered that the forks have been cut to 170mm and that is way too short leaving me with no spaces and much lower than currently set up. Back to the fork hunting i suppose.
