Been riding Fox for over 10 years now. What do the other big brands offer as an alternative to the Fox 36 range?

Cheers. I was wondering if anyone did something similar but cheaper. Seems they don't really! Well, certainly not cheaper.

By all accounts X-Fusion Vengeances are as good or better than 36s and about £300 cheaper.

What about second hand 36's?

There desperately needs to be an outbreak of sanity in the 160mm fork marketplace.
Everything is expensive

domains are great forks - just a little heavy.
(only about half a kilo more than 'air' lyriks - yes i've owned and weighed both)
The chrome steel stanchions are bullet proof, very durable.

Just buy 2nd hand. Loads of Lyriks kicking around for circa £250

Another vote for Domains, yes they're heavy but super plush, massively adjustable for climbs/descents and cheap! I got mine for £310 from Winstanleys and am absolutely loving them.

try ebay member coloradocycles
drop him an email of what you're after, his prices are very good

I was looking second hand but the vendor wasn't happy when I asked to check the stanchions!

Fox's are insanely expensive new IMO.
Although I have some 36Van RC2s for sale I could do for £260 posted

i got a decent price on some lyriks from winstanleys at the weekend. shop about a bit, theres good stuff out there for @£500 (which isnt cheap, just cheaper than £800+)
be good to see those x fusion ones break in to the market...

Also now running Domains (had them for about 3 months now), was originally looking for a set of Lyriks, but a deal came up on a set of 2nd hand Domains, which was too good to turn down (£120).
They are noticably hefty weight wise (I have the coil u-turn ones), but the performance is similar to the Pikes they replaced.

I'm selling my 160m Lyrik coils for £220. They are 1.125" steerer with wind down, and in very good condition. I put them on classifieds a while back but no replies yet!! Reason for sale is i swapped them for 1.5" steerer ones for my Nomad ... stanchions etc absolutely perfect... not used much either as i have 4 bikes!!

Onzadog did you find any forks?
I'll have some of these forks sale next week (my email address is in my profile if you want the details)
