What front shock for marathon bike

[davetapson]

My brother has left me with a GT Marathon (full sus). The front fork is poked (Manitou Black). The rest of the bike is in good nick so I reckon it's worth replacing the front fork.

 

I've got a Rockshox Revelation that I love. I know nothing about what's available and what's what with what's available - so for those that know, what would be a good fork to replace the Manitou with? Doesn't need any more than 120mm travel I would think?

Fork..

Ok, I will start. How much money you got? 120mm is ok but 100mm is better for marathon.

 

Manitou Minute 100mm

RS Reba 100mm

Fox RL something 100mm

Fork me, but you guys are fussy. There, I've edited it.

 

How does a Reba compare to a Revelation?

RS Reba...chameleon of forks. Light enough...plush enough and strong enough

A Revelation is a long-travel Reba.

Can I throw a Fox Talas in the mix.

+1 for the Reba. Can't compare to the rest on the list, but I love my Reba RLT - so plush and you can adjust anything and everything to nth degree.

Got a Fox F120 on my Zula. Great fork. But bang for the buck the Reba is probably the better buy.
