What frame is the fork going on? They both should be good forks, if its real be drops like at the shore, my guess is the 66.
This would be one an Enduro like the SX Trail.
New Enduro, then I to would go for a 36, the fork will hold up anything that the frame can take.
yeah that fork is pretty sick
The 36 is more comparable to the Z1 FR in my opinion. I have a 66 and its just a single crown 888. definitely a DH fork. 36 is more all around. But I can't figure which one is better, cause I never rode a 36
They are both extremely sick forks. I would choose the 66 if I was riding extreme FR/DH as RobsterCraw said " its just a single crown 888" and it has coil springs. If I was going to be doing some all mountain/FR I would go with the 36 just because it is way lighter ( it is air sprung). However Mountain Bike Action just did a small test on the 36 and they said it was awsome to ride and would eat anything (they tested in on an Enduro)
or wait and get the 36coil and have a compromise between the two!...
66 is more for the hardcore DH/FR. But the 36 is surprisingly tough for a air fork. I really hate the color of the 36 though... Should get it Virginia chromed. :D AKA Duct Tape.

or wait and get the '06 66 that is 40mm lower and lighter than the '05.

i want the 06 66 fork. hmm, i think i'll go with the 36 not and get the 66 next year. Also have you guys heard about that new DHX air shock? well i think the new Enduros will get them next year. That is just my thoughts. I really want an SX Trail. Yeah, peace

and where can we get information concerning said fork?
yeah, my buddy wants to get the 66 now that i've got one should I tell him to wait on it? Where did you hear about the 06?

look here for the small write up... other versions will be made too; sounds like an air versoin (SL) and a "light", not sure what that will be... guess i'll have to wait.

i'm likely gonna get the '06 66rc.
hmm my plans look like the 05 fox now and then the 06 66RC later.
i really want the 36 for my rig, but im gona have to settle fo rthe pike. i cant afford the 36 :( i really want the adjustability.
Yeah both of the forks are out of my reach but my dad says he could get it cheap, idk how but it would be cool if could really do it.
