i ride a judy xc and the fork works very well but it is very compicated to take aparte. But the sid is a very good shox if you want something lite and has enouf travelle. But the new systeme that manitou uses to lub the shox is very fast and trouble free. I would also recomende you take a look at the bombers the have alot of travel and the not so populare white bros fork, they make a good fork but that is expensive.
