[#7215758]

I am wanting to upgrade my forks currently riding with a 26 Cube Attention with Rockshox XC32 Coil 1 1/8" straight steerer & 9mm Axle.

Looking to spend less than 200 so currently looking at:

RS XC32 TK solo Air - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/rockshox-xc-32-tk-solo-air-forks-9mmqr-2015/rp-prod109687

Marzocchi 2015 Marathon LR - http://www.ukbikestore.co.uk/product/353/y9141900s/marzocchi-2015-marathon-lr-26-fork-1-18-steerer.html#tabtop

And open to any other alternatives.

Picked up some RS Rev 150s with a tapered steerer and 15mm axle for 231 quid from Rose Bikes last week, you might find something decent on there to suit your budget.

IMO the minimum worthwhile upgrade would be to something with the Motion Control damper (Recon Gold RL, not TK; or Reba). A second hand Reba should fall within your budget. You could get a new Recon for a little over yer budget.

I just picked up a set of Reba's from Rosebikes.de for a bit over your budget.

First time I've gone German for parts, were with me within a week despite Parcel forces best efforts.
