I can deal with spending $200ish on a new much better fork even though the bike cost that much. The bike itself is great for me and what I plan on doing. I won't be flying down trails and launching off ramps/hills. The forks on this bike however are just way to soft. I was out with my son yesterday evening just riding around and having run. Taking advantage of the bigger bike and him being 6 i would go up curbs and the lawn but going off the curb, the forks bottomed out and i wasn't even going fast. It's tolerable when just riding around but anything more and im bottoming out.
