I have drop $600 - $700 on Fox forks before and as expected I had a really great fork. Fox is the benchmark I compare all forks to. I had a Reba on my El Rey to begin with, but hated it… it was so flexy that I didn’t trust it not to fold up on me and I felt the front constantly drifting off my line because of the flex in the Reba. I decided I needed to get another fork ASAP and the F-29 wasn’t available at the time and was out of my budget too. That’s when the RST M-29 came to my attention.

So when I purchased a M-29 for my 29er I had planned for it to be a temporary fork to hold me over for a few months until I could afford to get a Fox F-29. Then I would install the M-29 on my wife’s 29er to replace her Reba. But after riding my El Rey with the RST M-29 I think I’ll probably forget about getting an F-29 for the time being.

The RST M-29 is an awesome fork! I really put it through the wringer and it performed great, no flex, tracked perfectly, soaked up everything I threw at it and rebounded perfectly. I am completely impressed with this fork and how great it performs!!! It was so easy to dial in too and with a few minor trail adjustments I had it perfectly dialed in and in sync with my rear suspension. I recently moved the RST M-29 to the Padrino and it is performing amazingly well with this fork and I couldn’t be more pleased with it and considering it didn’t cost me $700.00 like an F-29 I am even more pleased with the results of this fork and the purchase.

If you’re looking for a good 29er fork for a great price, you should definitely check out RST’s M-29.
