Has anyone run a Bomber coil up front? I saw them on sale at Jenson for ~ $370 USD, and was thinking about running one on the front of the Doctahawk.

Since I finished building up a full squish enduro, I want to run a shorter travel fork up front (170mm) on the Doctahawk to improve the climbing attitude for my local trails. (I have a coil fork on my enduro bike and love it for the chunk and chunder. Since I'm not really jumping the Chromag anymore, I figured a coil pogo stick up front could be a good fit for blasting through rock gardens)

I had a bomber coil on my Hawk and loved it. It’s great that it’s easy to change the travel as well. Simple solid fork

I had one. The travel change was nice. Small bump compliance was great. Would do again.

I’ve thought about running a coil up front too. Do you know what the axle to crown length on one of those is? The 180 lyrik is 591 I think.

Interesting, yeah… I think the doctahawk rides better with a lower front end as well. I’m
Running a 180 fork, but with a good amount of sag. Corners way better IMO

Never mind… found it. 580. You just never know. An EXT fork travel at 170 is actually the same axle to crown height as a Lyrik, I believe. Or close at least
