Suntour Raidon or Rock Shox Judy TK

[Ghostviking]

Hi!

My Missus have just bought a hardtail which was suppose to have the Rock Shox Judy TK 100 mm fork.
Because of the supply chain issues, the store sent her a bike with this Suntour Raidon. I am not sure If we should return the bike for a refund, or just keep it as is. I am not sure which advice to give her, do you have any opinions on the subject? Thank you for any advice

Both are pretty low end forks barely capable at best. But maybe the RS might work slightly better for longer.
The main point is the stanchions are plain steel.. plain youre going to have a rust problem sooner rather than later, but tbh in that range as above, they arent very good.

If the bike is just for commuting or shopping, maybe swopping out for a rigid fork would be considerably lighter and drop a bit of that weight off the bike making it a bit easier to pedal.
