Just yesterday, we reported on the unveiling of Fox’s 32” fork prototype. Well, it appears that SR Suntour is past the prototype stage with its 32” Raidon 34 fork. I dropped into the SR Suntour booth earlier today, and they were happy to show me the new fork, which, they say, is slated to retail for just $350.
SR Suntour had the new Raidon 34 installed on a Quarry 32” hardtail frame. The biggest story here, however, is that this fork is in production and will soon be ready for anyone who is interested in building up a 32” wheeled bike. It has 34mm stanchions, 120mm of travel, and it uses the brand’s 2CR damper with an adjustable compression dial.
The Raidon line is SR Suntour’s budget-friendly line of suspension forks, and that’s definitely reflected in the $350 pricepoint. The folks in the booth said they started lower in their fork range to get the molds finished and get the fork’s performance figured out. Now, they say it’ll be easy to move up or down the range to bring it to higher and lower price and performance tiers.
Regardless, it should be a low-cost way to experiment with 32” wheels if you’re interested in the new wheel size.
