I would suggest you go with a 318. I don't have personal experience with Argyles, but 318 is generally considered more stable in the sense that it is less problem prone. Not to say the 409 isn't a fine fork, but it's got some growing to do. Anyone feel free to correct me.

hey so i got an argyle 409 and i love it. only thing is that i personly dont need that much adjustment at the tip of my fingers. its nice but not needed. if you want i will posibly sel you mine. they are a lot better than riding a pike for dirt jumping i had one of them to. over all they are a verry sturdy fork. the only thing i dont like about it is that it dosnt fit the rst of my bike color wise. lol but thats just me.

I have heard about a lot of the 409's bending. Colour wise, I find it ikky.

Besides that, its a great fork and it rides well.

ive been riding a 409 now for about a month, and i wouldnt have it any other way. the thing about the 409 is its air sprung, so for riders that do it all from XC to FR DH and DJ back to the park, its perfect. I have mine set at about 175PSI of air, and my compression dial turned 1 click from full, and thats my favorite setting for the park and dirt. its soft enough to take a big hit, but stiff enough that it handles well in half pipes, bowls and whatever else a park can through at you. I went downhilling with it the other day as well and just turned my compression almost all the way down, and it was butter smooth. If you dont need all that fancy stuff the 318 is just a spring, with compression. although the 409 is just a bit lighter than the 318 it all comes down on to what kind of riding you do the most. and if your having bottom out problems adjust your flood gate, which is the gold knob inside your compression dial.

The 409 is the best fork I've ever ridden. Its so light, plush, and versatile. The only downfall is how the paint chips mega easily.

The 318 is kinda cheaper...its stiff, basic, sometimes clicks and basically just looks good more than anything.
