Easton EC90SL fork or Enve 2.0?
Which fork would you choose of these 2 for a Lynskey R230?
Can you tell me why? |
wow, no responses. Anyway, if your still in the market, I would go for the Enve 2.0. I just ordered one yesterday along with a new Lynskey frame which wont be ready until February...LOOOONG WAIT! I looked at the Eastons since they are much cheaper, but they seem to get a lot of bad reviews, mainly being flexy, not something I would want bombing downhill at 40mph! This is only from what I have read from other owners, I have not tested one myself. The Enve or Edge gets rave reviews, 1st being stiff and predictable, yet absorbs vibration very nicely, plus it just looks cooler IMO.

I have a Easton and it seems fine. Over 2,000 miles and no issues.

i chose an easton ec90sl over the ec90slx. it's strong and predictable.

With that said, I would go for an Enve 2.0 if you can swing for it. I went with the EC90 SL over an Enve 2.0 simply because I got a very, very good deal on it. |
My (admittedly limited) understanding of the differences between those two forks suggests that rider weight might be the deciding factor. If you're over ~160lbs you might be better suited on the ENVE 2.0.

I currently weigh 220 lbs and have had no issues related to stiffness with my Easton EC90 SL fork.

thanks for the answer.
I ordered an Enve 2.0 for my Lynskey. I don't know the delivery time for my frame. I live in Belgium, so it goes with the new importer "Bikebasics" But I ordered an "American R230 frame" and not a European R230 frame. => the seatpost for the American frame is 31,6mm and for the European 27,2mm. => I already bought a Lynskey seatpost for my R230... |
