Looking for some 100mm forks but only got a £100 budget. Plenty of sales on at the moment but welcome some ideas of the models to look out for. I expect coil/oil at this price which is fine but my only requirements are 100mm, standard qr and lockout. I've seen the rock shox dart models but sound like they may be too flexy for a heavy rider like myself.

Welcome suggestions

Have you considered using rigid carbon forks?

Slightly above 100, but I nearly bought a pair of these for the same use you mentioned above

White or black, with standard lockout (ie not remote) for £135. I don't think you'll find much better for the money, and they're air
