hey,

im doin a quick servey to see what yall think is the best double crown dh/freeride fork out there right now

post some pics also

 

[zstyle_22]

I just got my Manitou Dorado MRD X-works in and it is freaking awesome. If you just sit there and push on it, it feels like crap, but once you go out and ride it it doesn't bob and soaks up anything in its path. It's totally worth the price. If you can't afford that, go for the 7" dual crown sherman with spv. That is the next best thing.

With out a doubt the best dual crown fork is the one that came stock on the 1970's Yamaha motocross bicycle.

Tom here thinks his raked out dual crown rigid is the best fork ever!!

Okay, before i answer your poorly worded question will, i must tell you that your question is like saying ''well i like real fast cars like porsche's, but i like big cars to tow things like a chevy, which is better??'' please think about your question and actually research... does the phrase ''search tool'' mean anything to you?? lol.....jk, i think the dorado preforms excellently in both the freeride and downhill areas, and would go good with the yeti. now if i only knew what the fvck i was talking about...

edit: /\ a simple joke among friends /\

hasn't anybody learned NOT to ask these questions yet?

 

[Swine]

newbs....gotta start somewhere i guess? there is no best fork, its all personal preforance. in my case its what is on my bike at the time and has already been paid for.

Zedro im stunned, where is the witty and stupid suggestion, you are right though, id say: any fork not a Risse or Stratos. Personally id recommend a supermonster, and then i will machine you some crowns to raise the C-A height for the full chopper effect

no, cuz if that was the case monkeys wouldnt have newbies to pick on!:devil:

I am staying out of this one!

 

[Kornphlake]

2002 super T

A) because it's what I have and it's paid for
2) Dual HSCV cartridges
C) marginally heavier than a boxxer, lighter than a dorado or shiver.
D) Adjustable crowns (at least mine has adjustable crowns)
E) Comfortably straddles the line between freeride and racing.

 

[Cash-Money]

2001 monster t, big, not too heavy, everyone will think you're an uber-badass-huckster-mo-fo-mack-daddy for riding it. this effect increases 3fold if it's on a hardtail. 5fold if the seat tube is 14inches or smaller.

 

[thruster]

For me it is the shiver dc. It has gotten me out of some real hairy stuff.

 

[kidwoo]

Without a doubt it's the Super Duper Monster Pooper Scooper. It's got 67.4 inches of travel and is raked out enough so that it picks up dinosaur and dragon sh!t as you cruise the neighborhood.

 

[HippieKai]

down this dual crowns!!!

Z150's rule all

 

[Eigil]

Bombshell Bad Betty 4". Be sure to use the V-brake option, those disc brakes are dangerous.

 

[Lumpy_Gravy]

The new mojo fork will be the best. God spoke to me and told me so.......and i saw the picture in dirt and it looks nice. 8"- 9" travel, now I dont want anyone saying they dont need 9" travel, just cos they are on 6" boxxers.

No doubt, but I would rather have a Hannebrink any day.

any pictures of it available online?
nothing on mojo's site, or i am blind.

 

[Lumpy_Gravy]

I saw the pics from the latest edition of Dirt pg 24, its only a profile picture though. But cosmetically they look very simialr to Avy's.

Inverted 8-9 inch travel
Ti bolts throughout
carbon guards
a gas charged chamber
at 7.4lbs

cost around £1,000 available early march according to Dirt.

The best fork ever created is in fact the spork. Great men can only dream to understand the spork, lesser men can be driven mad by it.

 

[Lexx D]

With some of the responses I've seen here I'd say the mag 21 it had 2 whopping inches of plush travel!(that is a joke as I hope the bombshell and mozos are). IMHO get a super T, Shiver, 888, Any marz. they work really well and need less work than other companies. Shermans also seem to hold up pretty good.

 

[Cooter Brown]

definitely this one

There can be only one.

Dorado '03...or Marzocchi DJ series!!!

You guy's got it ALL wrong...

Judy DHO :devil:

 

[All in the end]

I got an 888R ill sell you with hayes brakes want the Dorado

 

[phillyvanilly]

I should get my bike with an MRD X-works dorado next week, but I wouldnt ask anyone to pay what they want for it retail, mine is OEM and the price still hurts just to think about.

 

[Zark]

A chilled salad fork.

These will give you the confidence to plow through balsamic vinagrette and lettuce like a knife through hot butter. Make sure its 4 prong though, 3 prong forks are a rip off:angry:

I got one of those for Christmas '77. That thing f**kin ROCKED.

I think I can claim to be one of the first people on RM who rode a full suspension bicycle.

Mine was yellow though -
