  1. Hi,

    I'm about to change my bike (currently I-drive 4 with 02 Z2
    Atom Race forks) to an 04 Specialised Rockhopper hardtail.

    I'm going for the base model as I will have wheels and discs
    etc left over when I put the I-drive back to standard.

    I want good forks up front, with 100mm of travel.

    Usage will be what you would call enduro mostly, slogging up
    hills, travelling along mountain ridge tops, through peat
    bogs, usual maountain terrain. Also, I will be doing some
    more technical stuff, small drops (no freefalling though)
    steep rough trails through woods etc.

    I prefer a stiffer feeling fork, so it doesn't dive too much
    when I'm about to wimp out on the technical stuff!!

    So, Bomber of Fox ?

    Which one?

    Also, do Fox have a website specifying their forks, or only
    selling clothes ???

    It sounds like your best choice is definitely the Marzocchi
    MX Comp or MX Pro with ETA. It's much cheaper than any Fox
    and one model has an air spring so you can stiffen up the
    fork just how you like it.
