Been lusting after some Fox 160 forks for while but the price is a serious block. So been considering 150mm Coil U-turn Sektors as more within reach of my budget, but I can't help thinking I should save up for the Fox's.
The Sektors won't be as stiff, and the damping won't be as good but does it really make a difference? Will it affect handling that much? I've had a variety of forks and only seen a vague difference between them but haven't ever had something top end (Except maybe my Pace RC40s if you can call them that)
I'll be riding jumpy trails and DH on them.
If you do decide to go for Fox - drop this guy an email for a price

Could always look for a set of used coil Lyriks. Heavier than 36s but pretty competitive otherwise, and cheaper than a new set of Sektors.
Sektors come in various flavours, if they've got motion control in then they'll be decent enough til worked very hard, but I think some come with just turnkey and that's not to hot.
