Review on RockShox Recon Silver Fork Adjustment by John Huskisson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really low price Fully adjustable front fork

Added this for a cheaper KHS Alite 50 bike that I converted to an e-bike. This conversion made the bike capable of going over 20 mph at moderate pedaling settings. There's a reason e-bikes with a Suntour TXC front fork are limited to over 17 mph. This bike handled moderate bumps fairly well. This fork was a significant improvement over the original fork. With air-adjustable weight and rebound, this fork made this bike a lot more manageable. Before this update, this bike could get very unpredictable even on some paved roads with big bumps. So this fork can be very useful for those who want to go downhill fast or for those like me who are a bit heavier with electric propulsion to have better control. A $250 front fork that will save you from an accident is a lot cheaper than getting injured or hospitalized.

Pros
  • That's great
Cons
  • Fine
