I am a recovering freerider trying to move more to a trail/all mountain/light freeride bike. A nasty injury has forced me to not huck for a good long time. As such, I am trading out my trusty Z1 FR for something a little less intense. However, I do tend to ride rough no matter what so it has to be durable and strong, just not 6+ lbs. Any suggestions?
My choices as far as I can see it are the following:
Rock Shox Pike
Manitou Nixon
Marzocchi All Mountain
Fox Vanilla 130
Fox 36 (provided I win the lottery)
Maybe the Manitou Minute but I hear they are a little flimsy.
Anyone ride one of the new Z1's (05 or 06)? How heavy are they?
If anyone has suggestions I would love to hear them. And if anyone has one of these forks for sale at a reasonable price, I would love to buy one. Let me know.
