I'm looking in to getting back to squish on my 29er Specialized Crave SL (came stock as SS and rigid) after a few tough weeks of racing/riding at my typical riding spots up north - Ringwood, Jungle, Waway, Mooch. Rigid riding is a blast and love how light the Crave is in SS rigid mode, but leaves me beat up a few days later making it hard for riding more consecutive days.
I had a Reba and wasnt terribly impressed with the ride quality and reliability and gave it to a buddy so I'm looking at a few other manufacuters I can get relatively affordably. Looking at the 100-120mm range and mixed riding gears and SS so having a solid platform or remote lockout would be nice without losing the damper performance.
Considering:
MRP Loop Sl 100mm or Tr at 120mm
Manitou Marvel Pro 120mm
Magura TS8 R eLECT
Lauf (not super serious about this one)
Reba/SID (could try it again as I know my way around the chassis and internals)
Im around 220 plus gear so I'm thinking the SID is out as I race a handful of times a year and the lauf would be unique but not sure with my weight it'd be any better than my rigid/2.4'' ardent combo now.
Thanks in advance for your widsom!!!
