Should I replace my Sektor forks?

[SteveInOz]

Hi all. I have a Jam2 Plus, which came with RockShox Sektor silver forks. I'm about 100kg and just wonder if these forks are up to the job. My LBS has a set of Fox 34 E-optimized forks which he's trying to sell to me. Wondering if the $650ish cost will be justified.... Has anyone done this upgrade?

I have the Sector too on a Jam2 Plus.
My plan was to upgrade to a 2019 Pike, but the Sector is actually doing a good job (impressed).
I might upgrade anyway, when I find a good offer (like 300£ish new)

Steve, I've got sektors on my daughters norco optic ( clockwork) and fox 34's on my giant . The difference is like chalk and REALY nice cheese.

Only you can decide if it's worth the $.

Thanks Pdoz. That's the sort of response I was after, really. If there's a marked difference between the two, then it's worth it... Are your 34's the e-bike specific ones?

Yes, 2018 fox 34 float performance evol, ebike optimised ( stock on my giant full e pro) .
