Dear PMTBikers,
Anyone using Suntour's XCP95? I would like know how much abuse this fork can take...or...how much abuse are you willing to give this fork? How high are you willing to go with this fork? 2ft? 3ft? 4?
thanks.

neil,
sorry brad, di na ako naka reply sa yo. Sayang di ko nabenta yung fork pero its a good thing for you kasi it looks like your looking for something aggressive.
XCP 95 is really not as plush as you might think. IMO, its a good and pure XC fork for entry level but not for aggressive riding or jumping.
Yes it cheap and somewhat light pero kung drops paguusapan, I don't think you'll be happy using it for more than a foot high drops.
Suggest ko is to just save up for a dirt jam or something better... In the long run makakatipid ka rin.

sir,in contrast to sir minotaur's post.i have used a suntour xcp 95 fork(magnesium) for more than two years.bought it for a li'l over 2k(2nd hand).took all the abuse i can give it.was able to do 2 ft. jumps without any hassles,never bottomed out(given that im a 6ft tall 180lbs monster)weight is very very decent and the preload adjustment is very helpful on those long climbs.most riders overlook the capacity of a "original"suntour fork and they always tend to recommend marzocchi instead when marzocchi is actually made by suntour(and manitou is made by rst btw).so if you are planning to get an all around fork for trail and minor jumps,i will recommend a "ORIGINAL" suntour fork.dami na kasi mga imitations lang e.tnx

Dear PMTBikers, Anyone using Suntour's XCP95? I would like know how much abuse this fork can take...or...how much abuse are you willing to give this fork? How high are you willing to go with this fork? 2ft? 3ft? 4? thanks. gamit ko ngayon is "Suntour Hebigat" i forgot the model ang got it arnd 1.5K lang, short travel lang din... and medyo abused na rin ... tried dropping it up to 3-4ft at naramdaman ko na halos maubos na yung travel nya.... malapit ko na ngang paltian eh... maalog na masyado.... at marami na rin nagsasabi na palitan ko na raw.... laspag na talaga eh... ang prob is wala pang budget and buhay pa naman yung fork ko eh...
