Is there an up to date thread or list somewhere that has the A2C measurements of all the DH forks currently available? I searched and looked under FAQ's and didn't see anything really. I suppose I could look up each one individually but it would be nice if they were all in one place. I'm specifically looking for how the Dorado compares to 40/Boxxer/888 A2C heights. Also Avalanche and BOS and any others you know of; maybe some long travel single crown forks too. Thanks.

just by looking at them i think you can drop them all to the same minimum height these days (unlike old 888's for example). dorado might go a few mm lower than others.

so on paper it doesn't really matter.

I'm pretty sure the quoted axle to crown measurements are the lowest available. I know that is the case on the Dorado (because I just measured mine last week), and I'm pretty sure it's also the case on the 40 that I had been running for the past couple years.

Surprised to see dorado that high. Kinda makes me cross it off my list. I still tend to ride pretty nose heavy and I used flatbars to lower my front end on an older zoke because it felt high so 591mm? That crosses it off my list if I don't like my boxx after reshimming.
