CONCLUSION The Auron is the cheapest in the test, has very good stiffness and a quick-to-use thru-axle as well as a two-way adjustable compression damping. However, it can't quite keep up with the other forks on the trail. The moderate response behaviour and overall sluggish operation make for little sensitivity and traction. The rebound could be faster.
