Hi guys,

I'm looking for some advice.

I have a 2006 model with standard shock and forks. The bike dives under braking, and in general the suspension feels worn out. I am looking to upgrade the suspension.
My thoughts were to put in emulators in the front forks, and replace the rear shock.

I got a quote for almost 10k for the rear shock only (installation included). That is waaay above my budget.

Does anyone have a suggestion that is more budget friendly?

The fork emulators are R1800 which is not too bad (have to install it myself)

I am 80KG with about 15 - 20 kg of gear.
