flipkickbs Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Personally i would go for the urbans, They flex LOADS, but it makes everything feel so nice, doing a front to back and really flicking off the front wheel. Although they have a lot of flex to them, they are very strong forks and will put up with most trials abuse. The controls are the same tubing but curve out more which i would imagine give a slight amount more wheelbase length than the urbans would. I just like the simplicity of the urbans and trust them for all my riding, either forks will be good so at the end of the day, its down to you.

Onza Kieron Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Urbans or Fattys or Ashtons or Base or the alike, I just think theyre so damn sexy, you may think otherwise though, Urbans or Controls will be strong enough for your average rider, why not get Control forks to match your Control frame?

sexymike Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 unt enteresant!but, i have had urbans for ages, i broke a few but people who know me know i hit things a little hardi prefer the look of urbans over controls, its doesnt really make a difference, they are almost identicle in rake/wheelbaseurbans for the win *what ever that means* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
