Hi to all!
I'm planning to buy a new fork.I race XC.I need good lockout.I'm usually "hammering",go out of my saddle...
My bike
Weight should be <1.6...
I choose 3 candidates:
FOX F80X 2005 - ?...1.580
RockShox SID Team 2004 - near 1440
Manitou Skareb Super 2005 - 1490,i suppose...
Which would u recommend and why?
May be other wariants...Skareb Platinum...
I believe in TerraLogic,but it is very pricey...

I have the '04 model of the F80X and love it.

Uncut it was 1685g.

Very plush and super stiff. You won't care about the extra weight as it invokes a lot of confidence in your ability.

another good feature of fox forks is that your front end will not move on steep climbs... it will stay glued to the ground no matter what... :lol: :lol:
