Pinnacle Iroko I recommended one to my mate and he loves it. I got the Vitus above and it's great, but I half wish I'd got the Pinnacle, but it was more expensive and I'm skint.

The silver forks on the bird are Steel stanchions not to do with the damper, TK is the cheap one RL the better motion control. Silver RL is available on stock bikes but not aftermarket.

Silver just means heavier than Gold, it's the TK vs RL that is more importanterThat cube is great value if you're doing XC racing, but mental for normal riding.

The Yari is a top fork.Miles better than those recon/silver things.

Yari is a Lyrik chassis with a cheaper damper. Chassis wise it's stiffer than a Pike and way beyond Revs, Rebas, 32's, 34's etc. It can be upgraded to the Charger damper later or way beyond if you...
