#5: RockShox Reba (XC)

The RockShox Reba has been around for… a long time. Still, it’s a popular choice among XC riders thanks to its affordable price tag ($560-$690 USD), light weight (the 27.5 version is about 1,600g), and durability. The Reba is spec’d on many mid-level mountain bikes and is offered in 80, 100, and 120mm versions for 26, 27.5, and 29-inch bikes.

Among Singletracks readers, the Reba 29 RLT version is the most popular, but keep in mind this fork is offered OEM only. If you’re looking for an aftermarket upgrade, check out the Reba RL. Bonus: the Boost version of the Reba RL 29 is compatible with 3-inch, 27.5+ tires.
