    Have a cube attention 2011 with a Dart 3 spring fork.

    Bike has seen a lot of off road use and it good condition. Was going to upgrade fork to Rock Shox reba RL for 319 incl online discount

    Is fork overkill for frame or what do mtb lads think? Any other better options?

    Mainly ride XC, with occasional visits mtb trails. Don't race and don't intend to.
    Thanks in advance

    I think it's a good fork. Ridden one a few times didn't felt pretty planted with the frame and wheels I was using.

    Watch out for the axel sizing you may end up needing a new front wheel too!

    Thanks. Standard 9mm QR I think.

    A Reba will be a huge improvement over the Dart. Whether it's worth investing that much in your bike rather than waiting to upgrade the whole package is another question!
