I'm looking to upgrade the forks on my XTC:
Use: XC and Enduro race.
Spec: Light (sub 1.5kg prefered), 80-100mm travel, lock-out.
Budget: Around the £500 mark.
Current thoughts are the New Manitou R7, Fox RLC 80 or Reba Team.
Any other recommendations or suggestions?
Much as I'm a weight weenie, I prefer usability and reliability over weight.

How much is stiffness an issue? If it pure light weight, then the SID is worth a look. Reba doesnt really get down to 1500g, but is much stiffer. The Pace is worth looking at too, but as with Manitou, reliabilty varies.0

Slightly over your budget (about £600) but how about Fox F100x, 1.58kg and doesn't need a lockout control as it has an automated lockout which I find works really well.0
