What you are really looking for is a Litespeed Niota Ti.

Make up your goddamned mind.

And you can get a Klein/GT for half the price and the same sus. design...

I work at a dealer and they are killer bikes, good axle path, they pedal well, and they brake well. They are a good bike

My boss has one built up. Loves the thing. You know Maverick is on something if King makes a hub for their fork.

No - it's just that they could sell a new hub to someone that was already prone to buying boutique without hardly any engineering efforts. I rode an ML7 and dug it. I hear the Maverick forks are flexy in comparison to many other options. Particularly for a 24mm thru axle.

Nah. They rule. They're no dh fork but the 24mm hub helps teh stiffitude. They ARE 3.5lbs with 6" of travel ya know. I've had one for two years. Best xc fork ever.

i heard you are better off getting the DB crown because its stronger and only a little more weight

[TheMontashu]

There is only .1 pounds of difrence
