The new Sid looks very good!

What about a Magura Durin?

I would say the Rock Shox Reba Team.
A Fox is also nice but you can adjust a Reba way better than a Fox. I've got the reba team now for a couple of months and it is just amazing.
With the positive/negative air chambers, motion control, poplock etc you can adjust it to your style of riding and that is why I would buy a Reba team and not a Fox.
Dont get me wrong, fox also makes great forks but the fine tuning is better with a Reba

Manitou R-Seven TPC MRD - 100mm (2.8 lbs)

Sweet, they are making the MRD (Manitou Racing Development) stuff again.
There is also a version with the Absolute dampening, 5 position knob on the top of the elg, going from fully open (plush) to fully closed (locked out) with each position making a noticable difference in the platform. They make a remote for it as well.
I have ridden the Absolute on an 08 Minute Elite with a through axle,it was on a 4 Cross race bike. It works awesome, I even dirt jumped it and it stood up to the abuse.

ok but the hs33's are crap... and the older magura forks are the ones that break. i was thinking of getting some magura durins seeing there light and look bling.

HS-33 crap? lol but you wont regret buying a durin. I rode almost al types of forks, FOXs, SID, REBA, this is bij far the best one. stiffer, lighter and works better than the rest. the double arch design makes it uberstiff, and it looks so cool:P
and you have a lockout on your handlebar. damping works really good, its a relatively simple fork but it works o so well. Dude, if you have the money, buy one!

yea i guess the older stuff wasnt great but in recent years they work with sram on their damping system and bits like that. i would prob use magura on an xc bike if i get one for sure. and the louise brake is great. i use to have one a thew years ago and it was so powerful but felt great.

Brakes of magura always been great!
the fork of last year, the ronin, wasnt that good. it was stiff and strong but i didnt liked how it worked. But with the durin, they flew by the opposition with miles. marta sl's work like dream too..

i would love them to do some big fork like the totem with 180m travel. it would look ace with their double arch design.
