i just wan to know what u guys think on the fork issue.

i weigh 120 so i am a light weight.

my Gt avalanche 1.0 comes with a JUDY C fork by Rock Shox

I want to upgrade forks so i can XC and down hill ride
NO FREERIDING THOUGH!!

I plan to get a 120-130mm fork.

I was looking at a PSYLO SL fork, Marzocchi Z1 MCR, or a manitou X-Vert Supernova.

all in the 120-130 category.

any help would be great!!!!!!!!

All great choices. Remember though, that much travel versus the stock fork will change your bikes handling a bit. Of the three listed, I'd go for the Marzocchi, super smooth, very durable and super stiff, but on the heavy side. The Manitou is very nice as well, butt the cost is astronomical. I've become a snob against Rock Shox, my last fork blew up and I ended up with a huge predjudice against them, but in all fairness, I've read nothing but good things about their new products.

IMHO, you can't go wrong with any of the choices you listed. It would really be a matter of how much you can afford.
