I do not know what is sensible to you,however I bought a used Pike & fitted a TF Tuned coil conversion,which seems to work well.Have not had many rides on it yet.(it only fits the pike).

Interested to see what marzocchi come back with, as fox are supposedly relaunching it as a coil focused brand.

Fingers crossed for a 55 rc3 ti in 29in, eh?

thought as much, there's nowt wrong with coils, much better than air IMO, heavier sure but way nicer.

Suppose Ohlins and Cane Creek have sparked the coil fork thing again, lets hope so. I still miss my U-Turn revelations.

Just converted my Pikes to coil with the TF tuned kit. Not yet had a chance to take them for a proper ride but they feel fine just messing about up and down the street so looking forward to getting them out in the real world. My Pikes are beaten up from a number of slow speed tumbles where the forks have scraped along the ground for a bit, so all cosmetic damage, so not too precious about them so though i'd give the TF tuned kit a go. So maybe get a used pair of forks that are in dire need of a good service and convert them.
