2017 TE300 Forks?

Post by giantjoe »

Were the forks any good on this bike? I remember hearing a lot of complaints about the 4cs, and the air forks as well, but I'm not sure which ones this bike has. Any input?

That bike has xplor forks, which are open chamber. Similar to xcw forks

The only experience I have with the explore forks was at the demo ride on the XCWs. I have to say that they were really god, and the track had enough hack (I think) to tell. The only downsides I can think of are that they rode lower in the stroke (obviously not set up for me though), and you can't change springs with an air pump. Very smooth action though.
