Hi all!
This make everything complicated. Lets to start with what I will use for. I will purchase Banshee Rune V2 with CCDB air. I want to use the frame to do everything from AM, FR, Enduro to urban, bikepark, little XC even some DH. I use Dh bike as well and want to complement AM bike for my riding style.
There are three choices: air vs coil, height adjustability vs non, upphill vs downhill performance.
Listed models that Im open for (my budget covers below, around 1000 euros):
year 2013
BOS Deville TRC 160
BOS Deville 170
Marzocchi 55 TI RC3 Evo2
Marzocchi 55 Mcro TA Switch
Xfusion Vengeance HLR Coil
Xfusion Vengeance HLR DLA
Weight is no issue for me, just a bonus.What makes my decision hard is ability to climb up.
For example, for downhill, all terrain performance would no brainer choosing Marzocchi 55 Ti RC3 Evo2. Though I dont know how much it is compromised for climbing up.
Service, maintenance is important for me because I plan use the fork for many years. Again Marzocchi seems as good choice regarding that. Coil is easier to service, height adjustability makes things more complicated if TFTuned says so.
All this depends on climbing performance and how Im willing to compromise for All-round performance.
