    I’ve had a search, but by no means a comprehensive one

    Thinking about a 29″ wheeled full suss, but more than 100mm travel to aid drops (how wise are drops on a 29″er?)

    So far found:
    Turner Sultan 2009 (DW link) = 120mm
    Niner RIP 9 = 4.5″
    Ventana El Capitan = 4″ or 5″ ~ the website is contradictory?

    What else is there?

    What fork?
    Fox do the F29 in 120mm, but not QR15
    Rockshox do the reba in a 120mm maxle lite?
    Manitou do a 29″ version of the minute 20mm in 120mm

    Is there aything else other than those? Anything longer travel?

    Ventana El Rey standard 4″ with the option to convert to 5″ with a rocker change. El Capitan 5″ can be converted to 4″ with a rocker change.

    Lenzsport do a few different frames with different amounts of travel.

    The Lunch Box and Behemoth both come in 5″ of travel.

    Niner are also producing the WFO with 6.5″ of travel.

    from personal experience avoid the minutes with absolute damping, the TPC version is much better, TA on them is very stiff

    the F29 120mm 15mm TA fork probably won’t be around until 2010 at the earliest

    white brothers produce 29er forks in 110mm, 130mm and 135mm travel options

    the new Marzocchi 44 29er fork will come with 100-140mm adjustable travel and the 15mm TA system, don’t know when its available though

    yes the reba does come in 120mm travel and 20mm maxle lite form

    how about an Astrix Monk?
    very much a go-anywhere vehicle – 4.5″ travel, solid and stable descender but seems go uphill really well too.
    I’m using a maverick duc, which is well balanced, but it’ll happily take the bigger forks coming to market.
