bring out your bontrager?

It depends on what you mean by hierarchy. The original price or position in the line up when they were new? Than it would be Ti lite on top and Privateer last. The diserabilty? That is personal. For me it would be Race, Race Lite and Off road all equal on top and Ti lite and Privateer following on a distance.

I know it’s not the consensus but if it’s for the trail the order is almost upside down.

The forks are the issue here - it’s very hard to get hold of 1” forks that really can take a beating. But if you have the luck to find a Sid or something the race/ race lite are amazing else a late privateer with a 11/8” head tube is the number one. Also the rear triangle as stronger on the later bikes.

I prefer the Bontrager Comp Fork over any suspension fork. It is a unique fork plus it lasts much longer.
