DH forks for beginer

[wal]

66 ata would have been a better fork for the Kyber for a well balanced suspension, as compared to the 55s.

looking for 180mm+.

Here's a whole bike with a decent setup for $800 Wal.

The domains got recalled from memory.

Ive had fox 36s which I liked.
Needing something with a tad more travel.

Only certain Domains were recalled, a particular batch with specified serial numbers and then they were only the steel steerer models.

Oh one more thing, I think Domain 318 180mm would sit between the Tora 318 and Pike. It's virtually a beefier version of the Tora, has steel stanchions (which I tested against a rock at Lewana (yeah was going dead slow) and the rock came out 2nd best, if it was a Pike it would have had a nice gouge). The Domain has a different MoCo to the Tora, slightly more complex but (not having had a detailed look at a Pike Moco) it doesn't have as much adjustment as a Pike does...no gate.

But it depends weather you're seeing the travel as being of most importance or if you're taking the A-C length into account also. Something like a Domain may have less travel than say a Boxxer but a similar A-C measurement.

Ive heard a few riders bag Boxxers, but get good reviews for race and team.?!?

Nothing wrong with Boxxers. The 32mm stanchion varieties could be unsettlingly flexy for riders over 90kg though. Bigger riders tend to think boxxers aren't much good and Fox 40s are the go, and smaller riders vice versa. I haven't ridden the new 35mm stanchion boxxers to know how much stiffer they are.

Although at over 90kg I'm not fussed by my Boxxers.

I've seen some big riders out and about on them, but I don't feel particularly comfortable on Bec's ones.

Rennoir' ploughed them hardcore for year's.....

Not many dudes ride harder than him.

Tell me how much they flex?

98, once setup right I don't notice a lot of difference between them and my Fox 40s, which for the record I broke.

Ive heard a few 40s break due to being paper thin, whilst looking big and beefy.

[Backdoor]

It was a fair old rip Dougy got in those lowers courtesy of a chunky little boondie. I was quite surprised. That being said, can't be a great deal of difference between the thickness of the lowers in 40's and boxers can there? It'd be a matter of less than millimeters?
