Best DC Fork for hardtail???????

[falcon171]

Hello all
I just got the 14 in Banshee Morphine frame today. I am going to build this into a DH and a bit of FR bike. I do not have the best technique as I am learning and very hard on my bikes. I want to put a DC fork on my frame. Here is my questions;

What fork would you choose?
Why choose the fork you think is right?
How much is the fork new?

Thanks

03' or 04' Manitou Slider. Its quite possibly, in my opinion, the best dual crown fork you can put on a hardtail. It's not that big, so you're bike won't feel raked, but it's got enough travel for hucking. The 03' Slider goes for $465 and the 04' Slider Plus goes for $750.

yeah the slider would be a good fork for your bike.......or you know you could buy my Jr T2, the perfect hardtail fork:D

SLIDER SUPER T OR JR T i had all 3 on my le toy 3 *super t for 3 days* but all felt PERFECT id never put a inverted fork or anything more then 6" on my bike now with dual 26" of course

Where are you getting the 03 quote from? Jenson? They have been sold out for months. Answer has NO 03's left.

The Slider is the perfect HT fork, and the perfect "Small bike" fork. Ask Ross.

i think that wheel world might have the 03 slider, that would be the best fork IMO

As mentioned above...Slider. Perfect match for any HT. Swing by Bikeroom.com to see if they have anything left over from their sale....

Monster, or a 2000 mr.t if your a girl about weight.

I am partial to the Slider. It feels better than a single crown without being too tall like some of the dual crowns.
