I dont know where this topic has to be, so sorry if I posted it wrong.
I am searching for a new fork for my Intense M1.
I had a Monster T once, the old one and I have been wanting it back ever since I started using other forks. People on other forums have told me to lose the Monsters and get some Boxxers. I like their functionality (or whatever you call it) but I hate RS their service and maintenance plus that they dont feel strong enough to me, which might be my own problem due to the fact that I weigh about 70 kg (160 lbs) haha.
The old Monsters weigh about 4,2 kg (9,2 lbs) and the Boxxers about 3 kg (6,6 lbs). I have Jr T's on my bike now and they weigh about 3,2 kg (7 lbs) too. Is riding with 1 kg (2,2 lbs) extra on the front really that bad? I am not a real racing type of guy, I just want to have fun and not maintenance my fork every season.
Thanks in advance!
