So I'll ignore any "because it's a raidon" replies

It will be a decent upgrade from the current Suntour XCR for a hardtail which is mostly used in winter and mostly a bridleway and singletrack, wheels on the ground bike

It's on eBay, it's new, shows a serial number, based in the UK, seems quite cheap - what should I be concerned about?

For a budget fork I think they’re alright. Gets you onto an air fork at a low price point. But vs something like a RS Recon they need a bit more tlc to stay smooth as they’re all grease in the lower leg rather than lower leg lube.

I'd hurry up and buy it before someone else does. 5 watchers currently, and if it sells, you'll be disappointed.

It's been listed a long while, perhaps the seller has imported a bunch of them, I don't know

For me, the compelling reason for not buying it is that I dont know how to disguise the package when it arrives..more bike stuff 🙁

Honesty is the best policy but ‘click and collect’ from a pick up point comes a close second
