That fork on amazon.

I don't plan on doing any big jumps or hitting bit obstacles with this fork. Mainly just riding around in unregular terrain. I was mind blown by the price.

It's awfully low-end. What brand and model bike are you planning to put it on? Are you trying to convert a frame not originally designed with suspension in mind? Personally, I'd rather have a rigid fork at that price point.

I was thinking on putting it on the 2014 Trek 3500 series 3.

I had a feeling it might be low end because of the price. Mainly the 100m travel and having features like lockout caught my eye, but I'm not too good when it comes to finding out which forks to buy or not.
