A mate is looking to replace the RC2s on his (my old) 09 Remedy as they are fu barred.

Pre requisites as follows:

160mm
26er wheel
15 or 20 mm thru axle
34 or 36mm stanchion
Tapered steerer
Travel adjust not essential
Doesn't have to be made by the 'big two'

Anybody know of any deals anywhere?

x-fusion slant would be the obvious choice.
fits all criteria, and is half the cost of fox, rockshox and marzocchi.

He's looked at them but I think they're a little weighty at 2.4kg.

Anything else?

X Fusion quote 1.9kg for the Slant.

Vengeance is 2.4kg.

[url= http://www.evanscycles.com/products/marzocchi/55-rc3-ti-2010-ec019770 ]55 rc3ti[/url], but still 2.4kg, and straight steerer, so he'd need a new crown race. £460 is a good price though.

Slant is the 34mm one and comes in at 1905 grams. The 36mm Vengeance is the heavier one.

New Pike when it comes out but $$$$$
Marzocchi 55CR looks interesting to me, 35mm but 2300 grams.
