    depends what you want to do with it…

    Burly – Fox 36’s
    Light(er) – Pikes or some Fox 32 Qr15’s

    Magura Thors. Best option and cheaper than Fox/DT etc. Not to mention way lighter.

    08 Pike U-turn air on mine, wind down to 110mm for XC, wind out to 140mm for play, great forks…

    Had 05 talas on mine, subsequently changed to 07 air u-turn pikes. The Pikes are superior in every department apart from weight.

    Fox Talas or Float 140’s, QR15’s if you can stretch that far.

    What have you got now?

    Though you’ll struggle to really go wrong with something suistable for the 5, bear in the arch-crown hieghts of the forks you are considering.
    For instance a fox 32 @ 140mm is lower than a rockshox or magura 140mm
    A fox 32 @ 100mm is lower (471mm) than a fox 36 @ 100mm (485mm), for winding down for climbing.

    Magura Menja @ 130mm = 500mm
    Rochshox Revelation/Recon @ 130mm = 508mm
    Fox 32 @ 140mm = 511mm
    Rockshox Revelation/Pike @ 140mm = 518mm
    Magura Thor @ 140mm = 520mm

    Magura Wotan @ 160mm = 540mm
    Fox 36 @ 160mm = 545mm
    Fox Lyrik @ 160mm = 545mm

    Not sure about DT swiss/pace, (or even mavericks) though (I think quite short), ATA/TST marzocchis aren’t great by numerous accounts
