SR Suntour is a brand we featured in our A to Z of MTB suspension, but not one we have had much experience in testing, which is strange given they are one of the biggest suspension manufacturers in the world. Most products they produce are at the budget end of the spectrum. Still, they do make some very good high-end forks under other brand names such as DVO as well as their own, even making a fully electronically controlled setup ridden to success by Tom Pidcock at the Tokyo Olympics.
The GVX is SR Suntour's latest gravel suspension fork, and as most things gravel-related, whether or not it's necessary is entirely down to what your drop bar off-road riding entails. The GVX SF21 was first launched in 2020 and significantly undercut the two main options from Fox and Rockshox on price, yet it is still a rare sight on the trails. The latest version, the SF24 I have on test here, aims to improve upon the original while still being considerably less expensive than its rivals.
