I have found Rockshox generally pretty good (but many others havent)... can I also suggest anything Marzocchi - the new MX Comp has a lockout feature and from what I recall they are around the same price. EXR models cost less but dont have lockout etc.

Cheers,
Troy

I'd suggest the Pilot out of those 2. The tests I've seen of the higher end pilots suggest that Rock Shox might have done themselves a disservice by making this fork too near to the SID. Definitely a bargain...
