Rocky Mountain Dirt Riders

Anyone have any recommendation on getting suspension done for off road , my xolorer 48 forks need some help I think .

I use Ken at Blackfoot Direct and have been very happy with his work.

Was it expensive , like what’s a ball park price for getting it done ?

I got him to do some work on my Beta and I love mine too!

Forks with most tuners will be around $1k plus $500 for a shock. Springs are extra.

I love my stock XC suspension even more now. But I'm not able to keep up to Dobi and his fancy suspension.

I also love my stock XC suspension, but the Beta suspension is a little better I think. Need to get them both out and ride them back to back.

Riders Edge has done great work for me with those same forks!
Highly recommend!

Don @ pro action suspension.

yea not sure what it is about the xcw 48 forks but there ok in really slow stuff but when I entered the moose mountain hare scramble first race , everything I hit 2 gear and up it knifed and twitched like bad on any root or square edge bump.

The Beta has similar suspension setup (Open cartridge) to the XC-W suspension, so very tuneable. You are welcome to try either of my bikes if you see me out at Club ride or on the trails.

Went riding last Wednesday on group ride and josh our caption helped me figure out the front forks , I figured after putting them back to standered setting I was to soft , turns out josh saw how much travel I was using and I softened the clickers a few and bam way better , had no idea why I was twitching on everything . So thanks to josh on that one simple fix. A lot better now
