For my daughters new build....
Rider - 55Kg
Use - XC, trail centres, a few relatively small drop offs and jumps, but not jumping/AM/4X
Fitment - QR (Budget won't stretch to the dearer 20mm or whatever wheels).
Was originally looking at Fox 32 Van' but this is outpointed in WMB by the RS Rev's
Weight we want to keep reasonably low as she's only a wee lass, also air sprung (single or dual) as coil's will need a softer one put in which is likely to offset any saving.
Looking at spending circa £300-350 new or upto £200 used for a good one (so probably that same fork at 18 months old!)
So the Fox (very good set locally on fleabay for £180), the Rev's (£322 at wiggle - about £180 on fleabay) or another suggestion?

How about Rockshox Sektors? Basically a slightly cheaper version of the revelation.

OK thanks, but that is dearer than the rev's on wiggle!

Are wiggle any cheaper than on-one?

Edit: Never mind looks like they're out of stock or something.0
