Hi

So ive been looking at getting some 100mm forks and don't really understand the difference between these two models from Merlin.

Which one would you guys recommend getting?

The SLs there have a coil spring and you can adjust the travel without opening them up. They also have a lockout for road work. The XCs appear to have an air spring, so are a tad lighter, but you can't adjust them as much.
The SLs will probably be more reliable (no air seals to worry about). Extra 10% off this weekend too!
