Fat Bike fork

[Trickster]

So I am asking, any recommendations that don’t break the bank. Entry level Ebike Voltbike Yukon 750 with a 26x4” and hydraulic disk brakes. The current RST Guide/Mozo Fatman are pretty heavy/basic forks. Something under $400-500 is what I am after.
Thanks

I believe there is only one fork that fits your parameters: the RST Renegade. The caveat is that it is a thru-axle design, as all upgrades would be. So you would have to have your wheel rebuilt with a thru-axle hub.

Thanks for the quick reply. A quick search on that fork, and it’s about $600 CDN, plus a wheel job and it’s out of
what I want to spend on this bike. Hard to believe that’s the only choice?

Hard to believe that’s the only choice?

The other choices are the RockShox Bluto, the Manitou Mastodon, and the Wren, which cost more. The lack of options is because fat bikes as a category is very small.

I am certain the Bolton fork is identical to one of those AliExpress forks, but with sticker that will cost you an extra $100.

Thanks all. Having had Rokshox and Marzocchi on my Mtb’s, it is quite the difference coming down to the bottom of the ladder.
But, you get what you pay for. I will look a little bit more on Aliexpress. Thanks for those links too.
Cheers

I swapped out my Mozo for a rigid and saved 5 lbs and have much better steering.

I was referring to the fork on my Yukon being “bottom of the ladder”.
