Anyone had much experience with the SR Epixon forks? At about £150 to £170 for 120mm, 32mm anodized stanchions, they seem to be a pretty decent upgrade over the typical 100mm XC30 around this price, or am I missing something?

Cheers!

I had a set of the 26" version (Epicon LOR Lite model) and they were great, I couldn't tell the difference between them and standard Fox Floats and Rockshox Rebas/Revelations. Light as well, generally a very noticable upgrade over entry level forks.

Yes, I had a set too! If going for the 15mm axle versions, be carefull to ensure the axle is done up tight or the dropout will become slightly ovalised. Which is what happened with mine 😳 I eventually bought a set of Revs in the sale.

I've had a few sets of QR 26" Epicons on different bikes and they're great. They dead easy to adjust the travel on (same as X-Fusion 32mm forks which are made in the same factory, I think, badge fans) from 80mm to 140mm. They're a bit noodley at 140mm though.
