I'm getting rid of my POS RST fork, and am in the market for a new fork. Anyone have any good suggestions for a good urban/trials suspension fork? I was checkin out the marzocchi z series. My frame will only accept 80-100mm of travel, so dirtjumpers or bombers wont work. :(. Any suggestions would really help... Thanks

Kinda pricey, but my RS SID race is probably my favorite single crown yet.

I have one ride on a new set of Duke SL, paid $159 at SuperGo with no complaints.

There are kits to shrink the dj's to 4 inches. If not for this year than last. I would thinkthey are the best for trials as they are very stiff. In any case you would need to max out the oil level and put in the stiffest springs in order to maxmize them for urban / trials...

marzocchi z2 80 race coil is a good one. you can pick up the 2001's for cheap.
zoch z5 100 air is super plush and would probably be perfect. I had a 2001 (sold it with the bike 1 month ago) and is was awesome.
if you can find it i'd got the z5.

The Marzocchi MX Pro and MX Comp can be reduced from 105 to 85, but you might find you don't need the reducer kit...

Thanks a lot for the suggestions... I think one of the marzocchis would be great. What about the Fox RLC?

Cant go wrong with a fox. Hell right now you could get the Float Talas which is an external travel adjustment that goes any where from 80-125 mm's of travel and it's air sprung

I ride a float rl, the thing kicks ass. The steering precisiom and dampening are second to none. Overall seriously great fork
