Apologies if this gets asked all the time so flame me if you want but I'm after some advice on forks please.
Hopefully going to be getting myself one of these soon in small flavour.

Trying to decide on a fork to go with it, so far I have these on the short list (not sure on the amount of travel for general trail riding with the occasional bit of hucking thrown in for good measure).
For sensible I have these.

For going large these.

And something in between, either of these.

Needs to be 1 1/8", preferably with a QR rather than bolt through, budget upto £350 - £400.
What's people's thoughts?
Thanks

A frame like the Bfe would be wasted with 100mm forks, so forget the Fox.
For general trail riding 120mm will be fine. If you want bigger hitting then maybe up this a bit.
For general trail riding the Soul might be a slightly better bet though?0 -
