Anyone ridden this fork?
https://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...tain+3+07.aspx Anyone tried it?
I need a better fork for my kona shred. I am 150 lbs and like to ride a variety of stuff but mostly just trail riding with many climbs, decents, and tall roots. A few drops usually not over 3 feet for now. I need something more plush then the stock fork which feels more like a pogo stick then a shock. Any advice would be appreciated.

BUT it is the wrong fork for a Shred. Way too long and will ruin the handling of your bike.

i personnaly like coils, because you never have to fill them, they won't loose air in the course of a ride. if you feel like changing the amount of air in your fork before and after you hit the trails have fun, but i would stick with the coil or even a coil with air assist
