Which is better Suntour XCT or Xcr?
XCR is really similar to the XCM but is a lighter build, which, given the coil, functionally makes them very close. The XCT is almost a hybrid fork. The build is much less dialed, and it isn’t really meant for riding where the front wheel spends much time off the ground. That said, yes, they are all similar.
How do you lock a Suntour fork?
Press the „Remote lock lever“ on the handlebar to lock the fork. Press the button below that to release the lock. Turn the „Speed lock-out“ lever by 90° clockwise to lock the fork.
Are Suntour forks really that bad?
The Suntour XCT fork comes on most entry level frames, and on a little more expensive ones, the XCM is standard. Are they honestly that bad for a beginner? They are for “leisure cross country” riding. They are utterly terrible and I honestly think you’d be better off learning on a rigid fork.
Is fork lockout important?
A lockout is nice, but in no way essential. A fork will only really pogo around a lot if you get out of the saddle and honk on the bars. If you stay seated and spin a smooth, 80RPM cadence you won’t get a lot of unwanted movement.
Can I upgrade my fork to have a remote lockout?
In order to add a remote lockout to your fork, you will need a remote lever as well as a remote version of the compression damper. To upgrade for your fork, you will need the remote upgrade kit.
