DJ fork help?

HuDeani_r32

rite my old forks have just died (RS pyslo xc's) lol they have taken a right beating over 4 years and not been serviced once and i have used them as a jump/free ride fork!! but now im hitting bigger jumps and built up a single speed jump bike i need some new forks but dont know what to get! i need them to be a QR mount as i am on a budget atm! need travel to be about 100mm-120mm no more but dont really want 80mm and need to be around œ200 max! i was lookin at some Magura Laurin's that i have seen for really cheap and seen them on the 4x yeti bike in this months mbuk so are they any good for my needs or not man enough? what are your suggestions? im willing to get some 2nd had as i will be upgrading to a full on dj bike at some other time just need to get back out on mine!
thanks for your help!

Are you missing a caps lock or shift key?

For dirtjumping you cant beat the Dirtjumpers, What is it your not fussed about? Jumpbikes arent meant to be light if thats what your worried about, Their built purely for strength, The Manitous are ok, But the Dirtjumpers are much befor the money, As with all MArzocchis you can fit and forget with very little looking after.

havent fallen off,
im just having a rest

Why QR?

DJ3 is really the only fork out there designed for what you want to do.

If you're that worried about weight perhaps you should start riding xc instead...

but yeah, the DJ3s are best suited to what you want, or maybe look at the Society Xeno's - 80mm I know, but they're designed for 4x so should be relatively light, and they come in QR/20mm dropouts I seem to recall

The 2006+ DJs aren't exactly heavy anyway. I owned a set of 2006 ones and they were very nice for the money. They are much lighter than the old ones such as the 2004's etc. Also if you dont like servicing your forks then the Marzocchi's tend to be pretty bomb proof and do last a long time.

If you got Rock Shox or Manitou then they will almost certaintly need a service to keep them running ok. Whereas the DJ3's will last a lot longer which will make them more cost effective anyway. They run normal qr dropouts as well. As the name says DIRT JUMPER its kind of targeted at dirt jumping!
