G'day, I have not seen a 26er Slide fork? I have not ridden another suspension fork or used these a long time. I went with them for there price and excellent reviews claiming there as good as forks double the price like Fox's.
I like them, lots of adjustment, lots of control riding, excellent feel, nothing I don't like. They did come out of the box with max air in them I had to let out.

I'll add they have no stickyness what so ever in there slide action just totally smooth. Choose the correct travel fork while buying because changing later while is possible is a big hassle as you need to totally dismantle the fork and I believe you need a special tool for the job.
