Anyone here a suspension whisperer? Rain man when it comes to shocks?
I have a plan but I want to know if it makes sense. I'd like to upgrade the fork that's in my Trek Roscoe 7 (hardtail) that is currently a RockShox Recon Silver 140mm travel. Not the bottom of the barrel but it's a budget option best for lighter use.
My idea is to swap the fork from my e-bike into it which is a 2023 Fox 36 Rhythm Float 150mm travel (the Trek frame can take 150mm travel forks).
To replace the fork in my e-bike I was looking at this

That is a 160mm travel Fox Float Performance level fork but a 2021 model.
I was wondering if this would result in an upgrade for both bikes or would it be a downgrade for the E-bike because it’s a 2021 fork with older tech?
The specs that I'm reading/comparing are making my eyes go fuzzy.
