2002 Duke C for a clydsdale? Experience with this fork?mikeyjunior
Jun 6, 2002 11:04 AM
I am looking at purchasing a 2002 RS Duke C. I am looking for any experiences people have had with this fork, good or bad. Also, if anyone knows if this would be a good fork for a clydsdale class xc racer. Looking to upgrade from an older rs quadra 21r, and I need something that will put up with my size and style of riding. BTW, I am 6" and 225#. Thanks in advance for responses.

One of the reasons I was looking at the Duke is the 100mm travel. I was also taking a look at the 2002 Manitou six deluxe with 80mm travel. Any recommendations or experiences with these 2 forks would be appreciated.

Purchase a 01' Coil or air sprung manitou X vert mailorder. I rode one of these for a long time and raced clydes on it. it held up and worked very well.
If that qaudra 21r is holding up, then you'll be fineautoduel

The q21r must be one of the flexiest forks made. Whatever fork you choose, it will definitely be an improvement. The duke is stiffer than most sc forks out there.
