Default Light weight XC Forks

Any suggestions for a lightweight 100mm XC fork?

I'm interested in the new Manitou range but it's impossible to find information as to when they're available. They're claiming sub 1300g which is excellent.

Failing this what other forks would you guys suggest?

That is a pretty light fork (i.e. <1300 for 100mm). I ride a SID Race 80mm and it is 1300g.

Id be wary of the new manitous. After the takeover they WILL improve but I would expect it to take a year or two....

SIDs are good but flexy, Rebas are less flexy but heavier.
