I just got this bike for $2100, but thinking this would be a worthy upgrade. What's the offset all about, would the geos change?

That's an old article, but it does a good job of explaining some of the trade-offs you make when you alter your fork's offset.
Lol, yeah, SunTour sucks, but a bit less so then in years past, when they were REALLY bad.

Outriding someone with fox forks: wow that guy is good. I can't catch him
Outriding someone with XCR: that kid pounded a monster and just has a death wish

The bigger difference than the offset would be the travel. This is a 160mm fork, while it looks like you have a 120mm fork on your bike. This fork might be able to have the travel reduced down to 140mm, but would need a parts kit with new air spring to change the travel. Increasing travel like that will make the bike a bit slacker and raise the bottom bracket a little.

Suntour makes championship winning forks, under their and other brand names as a OEM supplier/builder. If all you see is XCx series forks, we'll, that's on you. E.g. there are SR Suntour durolux 36 series forks with more sophisticated dampers than this Fox.
Exactly *and* suspension is widely desired for comfort once you reach a certain age. I'm much less resilient with impact at 42 than I was at 15. I ride a short travel FS for fairly tame trails here in San Diego. I cannot imagine riding them with a hardtail and will never go back. And, no, running lower pressure is not some realistic substitute. My first mountain bike was a ridgid and my first fork, a Manitou Mach 5. Needed it then and need 'em now.

Thanks for this, my 2015 nukeproof was in need of a refresh. I don't mtb enough to justify a newer bike but the rs pike is on its last legs.
