Upgrading Kona Kikapu deluxe
I have a 06 Kona Kikapu deluxe that I want to make some significant upgrades to. The two problems with the bike that I have are the weight (it is a pig at 31 lbs) and the front fork. I have already ordered a fsa k force crank, which should drop almost a pound of rotational weight. I have my eye on a set of mavic crossmax sl's with some tubeless tires, which should knock a few more pounds off. The final upgrade I want to make is the fork. This is were I am lost, if anyone can point me in the right direction on a fork it would be greatly appreciated. I ride xc and don't take it off of any big jumps. Also I only weigh 160 lbs so weight is not an issue.

most xc riders look along the lines of Rockshox Reba, Sid, Fox F100, etc.

mavic crossmax sl's wont take a few pounds off the bikes weight.

saving 500 grams on the wheels, plus the weight of switching to lightweight tubeless tires will.
