Needs 20mm maxle (or 15mm)
Would like a coil sprung fork
Would like 130mm or 140mm. Anything more is too much

What is there out there these days please.?

Do they still do uturn?

I was thinking this the other day, not because I want to change them but because the damping is poor compared to my lyriks. And I couldn't see a single fork that had the same travel adjustability and also had the damping adjustments that I would want.

Sektors would fit the bill. They're not quite as stiff as Pikes though, but they're half a pound lighter all in.

That said, there's no good reason why air forks aren't viable these days, plus you have the option of chocking the travel down on Sektors or Revelations to suit.

I went from a pushed coil Pike to a 36 Float... The 36 is so much better its laughable... and it was lighter than mt Team Pike! I tried a Revelation for a while and loved the lightness but hated the flex. A Lyrik or Fox 34/36 set at 130mm would be my choice... or a 140mm Deville?
