MRP and the Dorado are the only currently available market options besides the 170 and 180mm Lyrik 29s. DVO missed the mark with the upcoming Onyx DC fork.  20mm bolt on thru axle, travel adjustable, 27+ compatible, but doesn't fit 29s. :|  The Diamond 110 goes to 160 in 29 and 170 in 650b. Same with the Öhlins 36\.  And the MRP I believe.  X-Fusion Revel tops out at 140mm 29\.  I agree with you on the 36 RC2 DC fork, especially if they put the five bolt axle like the 40\.  It's a much better option than building a Franken-Fox-Fork with 29er lowers with 170mm 275 CSUs. It boggles my mind that the industry goes to great lengths to market everything stiffer than the previous version or the competitions product, yet release 170 and 180mm single crown forks.  So a rider buys the newest BOOST 110 front hub with asymmetrical carbon rim then has the pleasure of all the stresses and flex going towards the stanchions and CSU of the fork.  Specialized was onto something when they put the DC fork on the Enduro way back when.
