29er Fork Upgrade

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
I'm looking to upgrade the Rock Shox XC28 coil fork on my Cube 29er for something a bit better, preferably an air fork. Straight steerer, 29" wheel, 9mm QR, 100 to 120mm travel.

It's only a cheap bike and I don't ride hard enough to need something beefy or expensive. Budget is £150. Looking at a Rock Shox Recon Silver TK from Chain Reaction. Thoughts and suggestions welcome, also any offers of 2nd hand forks considered.

The Recon will do you, I think there's two in my fleet with Recon's and they are both good. X-fusion are also excellent forks, I have them on my ff29 but they might be slightly over budget unless you can find some 2nd hand. They're better than the recons.

Our shared bike at work has recons. I've taken it around a fair few trails and the forks seem really nice - good on chattery stuff, saving me from bigger stuff if I mess up, and no real noticeable flex when cornering. If I was looking for a suss fork and they were within budget, I'd go for them myself.
