How much travel are you looking for? And do you want dual crown or single crown?

dual or single doesnt matter, looking to get around 180 or more in travel. just looking for a tough fork that can perform not like everyone else isnt looking for the same thing.

Bikes: Bike list is not a resume. Nobody cares.

I always considered the Dorado a race fork, but the Flow Riders were using them on their Yeti DH9s a few years back. They can take it.
