Yes, another "which fork" question (3 posts)

Been looking around for a replacement to my judy on my nrs. I've narrowed it down to 2 choices. The Duke SL 100 or the Manitou black elite 80/100. I know the Duke is lighter, but i really like the feel of coil over air. The only drawback is the black is around $205 Us ( on ebay:P) and I can get the duke sl almost new for $175 US. Should I just pay the extra for the black?? I do alot of technical trail riding and only weigh 120 Lbs, but the blacks stock springs are quite soft ( ive ridden one before)
Thanks |

| Manitou Black Comp 80/100 | buyer
Aug 12, 2002 12:18 PM | | Get the Manitou Black Comp 80/100. The only difference is the Steel vs. Aluminum steerer tube in the elite. I had the exact same issue of Duke vs. Manitou and was set on the Elite until I compared the two. The Comp is $75 bucks less.
...$149 plus $15 shipping, total: $164. From Adrenaline Bikes (in all the MTB mags). |
