I use the Strand fork. It's solid construction, not flismy, impossible to bend.

(they do have non-Ti version if your wallet is only "large" instead of "giant")

I'm a big fan of the X-fusion air forks, I've had one on my last few bikes and can honestly say It feels as "plush" as any basic fox air fork I've ridden. Plus it looks nice.



It's an X-fusion velour 140mm.
