Have heard the Fox ones are nice but they are a bit pricy and the marizzochi seem a bit heavy

I am riding the Manitou skareb super. This manitou's XC racing fork. Man it is sweet. Weigh's in at roughly 3lbs. So it is almost as light as the SID, but definitely more stiff. I have had no probs with flex. (Though I am a 170lb rider) Features lockout, and adjustable rebound. It has a +/- air chamber. It has 80 mm of travel, which I have not had a problem with, though I am a racer as opposed to a big dropper! Best of all, you get all that for only $450. Awesome deal for a sweet racing fork. Much cheaper than fox or zocchi. I have heard that they are working on a 100mm version of this fork too. Definitely check this baby out!
