Is there a decent Chinese gravel suspension fork option?

I’d suggest the Suntour GVX, though it technically doesn’t meet the criteria of being “Chinese.”

It’s the best performing value fork out there IMO. I ran both the V1 and V2 on my gravel bike for a while before deciding the CFR707 frame works best with the original geometry.

I have them for sale (15mm axle models, there are multiple ways to adapt existing 12mm front wheels to them) in the USA if anyone’s interested.

You can buy the V2 new from Ali last I checked, and Suntour often has sales (V1 usually) on their own web site.

The GVX’s suspension performance meets or exceeds any other gravel fork out there and the fork body is really solid. Travel is adjustable 40-60mm with spacers. Body is very stiff and solid. Only downside versus a Fox 32 TC (the gold standard IMO; Rudy is too spindly and MRP too quirky) is a weight penalty which personally I never really noticed.
