The 318's are nice, cuz they have motion control. the 302's are rubbish.

i haven't tried the travis triple, but I have been running the single-150 for two seasons. it's done very well by me so far, so i'd assume the triple would be an excellent choice. personally, i like the bighit with a triple clamp, so i'd go with the travis. but if you prefer SC, i highly doubt you'll be disappointed with the Domain 318 (NSMB gave that fork a great review)

domains are nice, but not for dh or anything rough brilliant for smooth flowy trails though

you don't want those forks, they're cheaply made, you'll break them. go all out and get the totem or some other brand

The domain isn't that weak of a fork, is it? Anyways, I prefer the internals of the Travis to the Domain, more progressive, smoother feel.

definitly go with the travis tripples if you can get them. They're an amazingly smooth fork, they make my 36 feel like shit by comparison.

I have a TPC+ Travis 203 Triple, it does feel very nice. Haven't tried a Domain yet, but my new bike has a Totem Coil... I'd rate the Travis Triple as almost as good.

Agreed they flex to much for downhill, but they are great for big hucks very smooth and great for flow trails. you wouldnt be dissappointed if you got a pair

Domains have nearly exactly the same internals as Boxxers so they are good for dh,

If u mean the travis, they are cheaply made, im with u... But if u mean domains 318, there not cheaply made because they are prodomidently made out of steel and they have boxxer internals so are very strong and can withstand alot of abuse.

I have a set of domain 302's and they are good but... When you buy them they are very soft and can top out very easily! [Very] So if you buy them - then change the fluid to a much thicker one and get a stiffer coil. Your local bike shop should do this for about £70. Once you have done that then they are very good. But im selling mine now because i need the money, i have not changed the coil on them yet though. £220 Wink
