A Revolution (Rogered) VTR fork tune costs £225.00 (forks delivered by carrier). This includes return carriage to any UK Mainland address.
A special Revolution specification Penske damper, custom built in their competition department, costs £790.00 This includes carriage to any UK Mainland address.
Hope this helps in your deliberations
Regards
Roger

Wow thankyou Roger, that's very reasonable for the fork work considering the expertise & time which goes into it, I'll certainly take you up on that.

As for the rear shock, my budget is set under that, but I do like the sound of a "factory spec" Penske shock! So maybe I'll save a little harder and go for that too...

Thanks for getting all this info together guys, has certainly made the choices clearer and me slightly better informed :)

:lol: :lol: Outstanding !

Jamoi what you need to do is, find a racer who has just bought someone else's racing FireStorm for the bits & then sell you the Nitron racing spec shock at a very reasonable price...

I am with Hawk on this Jamie..............do the front first, that is the biggest weakness on the Storm, then do the back.
+3 :thumbup: if funds are tight. At £225 from Roger you would be daft not to. You'll love the difference :D Then get a decent one fitted on the rear when you have more funds. You can ride around a poor rear shock at lot easier than poor forks :thumbup:
