Double crown forks on Haibike xduro nduro RX 2015

[Mayonaise]

Anyone know whether the Haibike xduro nduro RX 2015 has the frame strength to take a double crown 200mm DH fork?

yes but why on earth would you want to do that? you wont go any faster and there very expensive to boot.

these are not Tapered like the dvo forks but you can get a hope kit to fit them.

at 3kg just for the forks the bike will be more heavy than the dh pro and the frame size is a lot bigger you will be higher off the floor and less stable at speed going DH over jumps ect even with the seat down.

you will also be going from air to coil springs so less adjustable other than rebound so you cant lock them off.

I have an old DH bike which has good forks (2010 Boxxer world cup) and rear shock (DHX5.0) which I'm not using so much. Fed up of pushing up or traveling 3 hrs for uplift. Just thought it would improve the suspension and give the bike more of a downhill bike feel to it for riding my local DH tracks.

swap them over and try it if the top tube is cut to the same size but all you get is 20mm more travel even more waight and reduced steering angle.

my bike is 3kg lighter and find it a handful at speed down hill as i cant hop and flick it around.

the more waight you add the worse it will get.

also that fork looks like its for a 26inc wheel and there 27.5/650b on the one you have so will not fit.
