I busted my RS Dart 2 today, and I need a new fork. I want to spend about $250 max. I need something around 100mm xc/trail fork.

I'm not really sure how to compare the forks, here are some that I looked at:
If you have any other recommendations on forks or a site with better prices, it would be much appreciated.

I found these too:

Rock Shox Tora SL Solo Air Fork 2009($199): http://www.blueskycycling.com/product5827_39_-Rock-Shox-Tora-SL-Solo-Air-Fork-2009.htm

I found these too. $250 is the most I want to spend, but would prefer to spend 150-200. In other words, which one is the best bang for my buck?

I upgraded to the Rock Shox Tora 302 Coil U-Turn Fork w/ poploc a few months ago and it's been great, good fork for the money, highly recommended.

I am leaning towards a RS Tora 318 U turn. Where can i find the best price for this fork? It is 250 on jensonusa

try speedgoat.com. They had a recon race for about $300. Didn't look at the Tora.
