what forks for 4X?
- Thread starter kieram

the pike 110mm. the argyle pretty sweet. there is also the revelation that they also make that i have seen put through plenty of abuse.
the revelation is the lightest but it doesn't have a 20mm dropout. its a tough fork none the less.
i personally think that fox fork for the most part are a waste on money, seeing as they are not proving anymore reliable than any of the other offerings out there.
also take a look at the marz. 4X fork. looks nice. also look into the manituo minute, it has a 100mm thru axle option i be leave and should prove to be very tough

The 07 Laurin or the Wotan would be real good picks for 4X/DJ.
Despite the "XC" in the Laurin description I asked them about that, and they said it can handle jumps easy without fear of breaking.

In that case go RS either Pike, or Rev if you are just starting out.
Do you really need more than one fork?? Is the other one a backup fork in case the orginal one breaks?
grow up idiot.
and im not just starting out, just couldnt decide what to run in the states this year
fox float r 130mm 1600g!!!!!!Super smooth, friendly adjusters.My friend races one for over 2 years now and its in perfect shape.Cheers
I havn't gotten any time on one yet but the new Manitou minutes are only 3.6lbs and now have a 20mill axel. If it feels anything like my nixon did its going to be sick.
I'd stay away from manitou...
I'd go for the pike for pretty much every option. It's what I'm puting on mine most likely. But I'll also be riding it on our local freeride trails and whistler and such, so I'm a little apprehensive about running any QR forks.

if your smooth i would go w/ a revi. if you want a little more beef cakeness go w/ a pike
marz 4x is a winner.
I have a 2006 Marz z1 sport reduced by Marzocchi to 100mm. It's a sick fork it features air in both L and R Legs, Compression on the left and rebound on the right. MSRP on the Z1 sport is $325.00. Msrp on the 4x is $449.00 IMO, the Z1 is a better 4x fork for the money.
the air one is lighter and is more adjustable. it you setup the neg. pressure right it will be very supple and the suppleness can also be tuned. i'm a bigger guy and have never had a problem with rockshox air fork in the realm of reliability
Word.
Well, because Ironhorse runs the 1.5 headtube i would recommend the lefty. Laterally the stiffest "fork" on the market-even stiffer than the fox 40, it is by far the lightest and the most unique looking fork and it far outperforms them all. The lefty DLR weighs in at a measly 3.5lbs for 110mm of travel. check out golefty.com
Lefty's? Hard to get? No prob, you just let me know what you need. I'll getcha one.
