I can't view the picture in enough detail, can you type up what the forks are that you're looking at?

It'd be difficult to be worse than the originals, but it's possible that a set of £90 squidger forks might manage it.

Look for a decent set of second hand Rockshox.

I had a set of Tora 318's for £70 off eBay. had them for years and still going strong.

Some kind of rigid carbon fork of the type sold by Planet X. They work well, will shed the pounds, look saucy, and aren't disproportionately expensive relative to the bargain basement origins of the bike.

What size steerer,travel and type of forks has your bike currently got?

The ABS+ would indicate similar dampers to Manitou air forks. I run a set of Manitou Marvel on my Anthem and they perform really well.

It depends on the year, but most of them had Bumtours. They weigh as much as a small aircraft carrier, and are as well damped as a slice of Victoria sponge in a bowl of water.

Anything is an upgrade then

Removing the forks, and leaning forward and holding the front wheel by the ends of the QR would be an upgrade.

I think the forks in the pic are similar to the ones already fitted.

Many manufacturers produce a budget OEM (original equipment manufacture) fork supplied cheaply to the bike manufacturer to sell
Some produce a slightly better version for higher spec bikes and you get the fork manufacturer's name on there, but it's a model not available for general resale.

I have previously purchased a bike and taken the fork straight off and popped it on ebay, fitting an upgrade before ever riding the bike, others will have done the same.

The only benefit, I think, of the fork you've posted is it being new compared to the ones you already have.

what's your budget, we might be able to advise on what would be an upgrade that will be of benefit and last
