Welcome! For my eye it screams for a little more "Caabon faiba". 😅 Have a safe ride.

Shock sounds like a good idea but I’d do cartridges before swapping entire forks. A lot goes into them: fork diameter, triple clamps sizing, fork length, springs, axle, brake rotor spacing, fender mounts, wheel spacers….

Yea your dead right , it’s a lot more work , / cartridges seem like a good option , the front end is just way to soft , I’ll speak with nitron on ordering shock for set up rates etc
Thanks for the feedback 👍

Welcome! The bike looks great 😎

Fitted Ermax rear hugger & chain guard , wow I have to say , totally happy with result / I was hoping the white & black stickers would peel off as I prefer straight Red , however they have clear coat over them so they are staying . Still happy tho , & saved £100 with pyramid with code & discount so very happy .

For £100 you might have a real carbon fiber one from Aliexpress
