rockshox Reba rl100mm or Fox 32 float ctd fit 100mm

Hi guys, looking for some thoughts on which for is the better xc fork? Current forks on my old xc bike are RS Sid's, which have been great, but I have never tried fox floats or rebas, so not sure which would be the better option? Couple of bikes I'm looking at and the only real difference between the 2 is the forks. Rebas are £200 cheaper than the fox option.

Check out the servicing requirements on the Fox, then if that hasn't made up your mind, come back!

I have had both and would definitely recommend the Reba over the Float.
The Reba has longer service intervals, is stiffer (less flex) is better damped and I think it rides better. I think the Fox is lighter though.

What year SIDs are you running?

The old bike is running rockshox sid rlt 100mm, looking at a new 29er xc hardtail, opinions as above fox float or Reba. Never tried them so looking for options what's best of the two.

Do you have a link to the Fox? Are a few variants of it - some better than others.

That Fox fork is at least as nicely damped as the Reba but very flexy.

I'd prefer the Reba too - that standard CTD does not have as good compression adjustment.

Thinking Reba myself, better for servicing etc
