Forks or fork?!?! Haha, ok I'm sorry. At under $200 you'll pretty much always be looking at the same thing. Pogo-Sticks.

In that price range you're best bet would be to look for something on ebay. I've seen Mani Blacks and RS Duke's going for around and less than that.

For that much get a Fox Vanilla, or try and find a Fox Float on ebay.

You could go with a marzo though.

Opening your pocketbook to that price will make your fork worls better than any 200$ fork could be.

Ill sell you my marzocchi dritjumper 3 for no more than 200. Its only been used a month, which adds to about 10 rides. Im looking to sell it so I can buy a dual crown fork.

Best fork? There is no undeniable best fork for all the disciplines. You need to specify for what. For 30ft hucks its a Super Monster, for xc racing its the Sid World Cup/ Fox f80X, for trail riding/heavy XC it goes to the fox series, etc

Im not selling a dual crown fork. I plan on buying one in the near future. The fork is a little dirty but there are no major scratches dings or dents. Theres only one little scratch in the right stanchion that is barely noticeable. Its a 5 inch fork with standard quick release. Like I said its only been used for about a month. I would like to stay somewhere around 200 ( no more than 200) but I am open to an offer.

What sort of riding are you doing? that makes all the difference in suggesting a fork.

if u go to jensonusa.com you can get a manitou black 100-120 mm spring shock for 180 dollars. I thought that was a great deal. It is a quality for too.
