Are SunTour Forks any good?
I’ve heard that Suntour’s forks are better than RST’s forks, which is nice. But think of it as more of a placeholder. Sooner or later, you’ll break it or it’ll freeze, and then you can replace it with either a rigid or a “real” fork. Just ride some bikes and buy your favorite.

The spinner grind, eagle, other forks you find on low end entry level bikes are junk. The spinner aeris and cargo are decent forks. I use to have a cargo air that I got off ebay and it worked really well.
