I have a Trek EX8, but I am unsure of the forks it has on it. I am wondering if someone more intelligent than me is able to identify them.

Well originally they were white fox float RL 130mm. I have the exact same model 2009 Fuel Ex8. The rest of it looks original.

They look too short, plus the crown and adjusters look wrong for Fox.

Edit: looked in the photo album, definitely not Fox.

They RockShox of some kind, I recognise the style of cable guide. Not the exact model though.

No they're not, adjusters and top caps are totally wrong, every fork out there has a cable guide there!

I'd go with Xfusion or something.

Suntour epicons, I think.
The air cap is a suntour one, anyway

Edit: Yep, Defo Epicons with manual lockout

Or Axons (my success rate has been poor today so I'm hedging my bets...I'm blaming the vast amount of pain killers I've imbibed after pulling my back doing gate practice last night 🙄 )

Both early epicons and axons had the same crown and adjusters on them, it seems.
Looking at the age range, though, I think Rorschach gets the points!

Maybe I should have been more specific in my answer and said

[i]but they aren't now[/i] 🙂
