Can anyone recommend a 120mm Trail / Enduro fork that can be converted to 150mm later on down the road. Is this even possible? Thanks in advance

I'm not up on all of the current models. But you might have to buy the 150 and shorten it for now, then switch it back when the time comes.

I guessed I’d have to do it that way round so that’s good to know, thanks. Any ideas where I could find the info needed.

only other thing I could find online was that the pike solo air may be doable but that was just someone speculating on another forum, nothing concrete. cheers

Pike. Fox 32 and Helm will go as low as 130 I believe which shouldn't bring the top end too high.

Marzocchi Z2 as well I believe - Google search below looks like it might give you more details:

What bike? I'd just run it at 150 more than likely...

I’m in the process of building a new bike “hardcore hardtail” from scratch, replacing everything on my current bike which has a 120mm frame, but will be replacing that frame down the road for a 150mm so need the fork to be ok on both.

Appreciate all the reply’s

Whatever you go with, start at 150. Try it. Then if you hate it, go buy the air spring. My guess is you'll be fine with 150mm
