Entry level air fork suspension suggestions
Hi All, Can anyone suggest an entry level air fork to replace this one on my hybrid bike?
Suntour NRX D HLO. 63mm. Hydraulic Speed Lockout / Preload
https://www.srsuntour-cycling.com/pr...RX-D-5895.html
I won't be doing anything extreme with it. I'd like to have a stiff adjustable suspension that will mostly be used for smoothing out the bumps on the road and gravel trails.
This is my current bike:

Thanks!

I don't think you'll find many air forks with the specs you want.

There's an air version of that fork, and Rock Shox has a hybrid fork. This guy posted a review and a follow-up. Lester is right, the top off this market is not very high. Yours already has a hydraulic damper cartridge. Nicer forks for mountain bikes have more travel, are longer to give clearance for big tires, and use thru axles that are not compatible with your wheel hub.
