Default Race tech cartridge emulators VS f3 fork interals?

Alright everyone, a question for you all!


So I'm overhauling my F2, and already got new springs with the proper spring rate for my weight, along with a fox racing rear shock, and a new spring coming in for it soon as well.

I'm looking at overhauling the front forks all the way, either by dropping f3 fork internals in, or putting in catridge emulators. However...
  • A pair of F3 forks will run me approximately $110.
  • The racetech cartridge emulators will run me approximately $110.

So, what is the strongest option for our bikes,? Some criteria I consider for "strongest" are ease of instillation, functionality, ability to setup properly for myself, and how the actually handle on the street.


I'd like to hear from people with direct experience if possible! Thanks and I look forward to hearing stuff from you all!

not a clue, but if hershey was here (sandman), he sounds like he absolutely loves the racetech stuff.

where do you get the Fox rear shock? I don't see any streetbike products listed on their website.

They haven't made them in years. This is an older product manufactured for our bikes, that is no longer available.

Penske still makes race shocks for our bike I think... unsure about that though. I should post pictures so I can brag to you all!

Once I finish the suspension all the way around (rear spring, front fork swap to f3 w/ new racetech springs) I'll post up pictures.
