im jus wonderin what forks would work best on my hardtail its a norco manik right now im riding drop offs

Depends what Travel you want.
Iv got some Marzocchi 44TST2 Airs an my all mountain bike, there only 140mm but there dead light and they have lock out but there the best forks iv ever had.

On my DH/Freeride hardtail iv got some 160mm Marzocchi Z1 Sports and there ace too.
Id go for something mid travel i had some 180's but on a hardtail they felt a but too big and made the steering a bit slugish.

nicest, smoothest, and sturdiest hardtail for FR. flies down trails. and who needs a Fully? unless you live at whistler or an equivilent mnt you probly dont need it. a few rock gardens that are easier hopped than rode, and some steep sand sections are the only thing my bike doesnt excel at. just need new brakes, got dissents coming for DH and tabletops for street, screw dual duty tires. got a wtb seat + SC peaty grips coming soon, will post pics.
