I'm using a Helm Air fork at 170mm on my Zerode Taniwha (160mm back), loving it, but always looking forward. The Mezzer and the Öhlins RXF 36 Coil (you don't have an air version review yet!!!) are my most likely next options.
For comparison I've already had the Pike (2016) and DVO (2018) on it.
I also have a Dorado DH fork (2016) with the IRT system (aftermarket) and that is just simply insanely good! So good I've contemplated putting it in 180mm mode and using it on my trail bike instead of the Helm. It adds a kilo of weight though so the Mezzer is looking mighty interesting at the moment...
For me the shootout it between those 3 forks, forget money or setup difficulty, I will spend the time to get it right, which is the way to go?
I'm roughly 190lbs and running the Helm at 80psi for a sag of 22%-ish.
Your answer will guide my life choices... no pressure.
