Cube Reaction Pro 500 Fork upgrade

[pwrhau5]

Hello,

I'm hoping to get some help with upgrading the fork on my '23 cube reaction pro hybrid 500 with the stock X-Fusion MIG32. I'd like something to help with arm/wrist fatigue on rocky service roads on the way to the trails. I'm finding I bottom out the shock no matter the +/- toggle and increasing the air pressure leaves me without any suspension. Mostly riding blue/green trails, lots of roots, rocks and subtle drops. Would a Bomber Z2 with 130mm travel be a good upgrade for me?

First post so please let me know if you need anymore info.

Thanks

Cody

A bomber would be a decent choice, as well as a Lyrik or Pike. Lots of used options out there and we may even have something here that would work. What you are experiencing is poor/lack of damping control from the current fork and are just bouncing off the air spring. A better fork will give a better ride for sure.
