I just got into mountain biking and I just got a used Trek Fuel 80 from 2005. I am looking to upgrade the front suspension which is currently a manitou splice comp, 100mm, which I have read some not so good things about; also it is 8 years old already. I am looking for an upgrade hopefully no more than $300. My Chinese friend told me there was this front fork suspension called 神叉 that was really good for the money, which I found out with some searching is the Suntour Epicon. I am wondering... I did some looking around and did not find any American reviews. Has anyone used the Suntour Epicon? Would you recommend this or something else? Is there a need to replace the rear suspension as well, which is a RockShox BAR Adjust, 80mm?
