Opinions on RST Rapide Super 2005??
Im a mechanic in a bike shop and Im used to fox,marzocchi and rockshox forks but my first fork was an RST. I though this company no longer existed. But I just found they had a website and they seems to sell low quality fork but the Rapide Super fork surprised me. It seems pretty damn good.
Whats u guys opinions??

RST makes forks that certainly look good on paper, but would I buy one? Nope, they haven't earned my trust.

Overall this fork seems good but the quality of the fork may be poor after long term or excessive usage

I think the quality of the fork will probably be poor from the start.

It probably has a crappy damper, and wouldnt last very long. No way I would be willing to spend any money on it to try it out. I would never buy an RST.
