i have a maverick 2.0 and was was wondering if its worth upgrading? i don't ride it real hard, but the rear shock doesn't quite cut it. i know the gila up front isn't great, but i can live with it. i'm 6'4" and right around 250 lbs. was just wondering if there is a decent affordable rear shock you could turn me on to, and if this bike is even worth putting money into. it seems like a solid frame with cheap hardware to me

@bbbbbum Hey, if you're already looking at upgrading the Fork and Rear Shock, I'd suggest investing in a better frame. The Maverick is a single pivot entry level frame. If not, look into a Fox Float R shock and maybe a RockShox Recon Fork (like the one I have in this video)

i have an iron horse azure sport and it rocks only compant is the tora fork any suggestions for an upgrade? (cant afford a fox) : (

[preludedriven]

@LTP1996 Definitely get rid of that Tora! A good budget fork is the Recon Air...sucks too, I just sold a 2010 Recon for dirt cheap! If you can afford it, check out the Reba as well!

i love your bike i myself have a ironhorse maverik commuter and have had nothing but problems i use it as a commuter , would you recomend this as a commuter ? many thanks for posting this info.

[preludedriven]

This bike is great for off-road use. But for use on the road, It is heavy and the suspension will be ineffective for commuting on the road. If you're looking for a good commuter bike, I'd recommend looking for a Hybrid bike Thanks for the comment

@preludedriven alright thanks for the advice i do appreciate it. i'll probably just ride her into the ground and search for a little higher end one while i do so. in your experience, would it be cheaper to build a decent bike frame up, or look for an already built one at swap meets, etc?

I have this Maverick frame (white) with a 150mm travel front fork, and a ~200mm rear shock. It's an all-mountain machine.
