isitafox Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I'm after swapping my forks to go back to HS33 on the front and wondered if anyone had tried the Kabra forks? After having some Trialtech Sport Lite's I don't want to go too heavy on the front again and other than carbon forks the Kabra's look to be my only choice unless I hang on till the HS33 Sport Lites are re-released.

isitafox Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 All forks will snap eventually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack dickinson Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 All forks will snap eventually **so you want forks that have been recalled within the first month of production and month of the people who had them, in that month, snapped them?** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 **so you want forks that have been recalled within the first month of production and month of the people who had them, in that month, snapped them?** You what? They were released last August! Also have you got some official numbers related to the number of sales of these people who snapped them?

Mark W Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 month of the people who had them, in that month, snapped them?** That is absolute bullshit. They were recalled due to a manufacturing issue. They won't be re-released until that is resolved. People testing the prototype forks found they outlasted other forks they had by a significant margin. To recap: You don't know what the f**k you're talking about. EDIT: There are still people out there continuing to use the Sport Lite 4-Bolt forks because they chose to. They're still going fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Weren't they recalled because the HS33 mounts broke. This means that the forks didn't actually snap. Isitafox: How much are you gonna pay. May be cheaper here in Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Hopefully less than the asking price, will keep this updated when I hear back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 A very limited number of them cracked at the top of the 4-bolt mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
