Ok folks I need some opinions! I Cant afford a Marz 66 and not really sure I need one anyways. But in my price range I have narrowed it down to these forks and wheelsets. If you know of something better in this price range let me know I am always open for suggestions.

and on the Revolution do I get the 32 or 36mm size?

The adjustable travel feature of the Z1 FR SL isn't all that handy in the middle of a ride since you have to adjust the negative air pressure to adjust the travel, so the Z1 Sport makes more sense.

The Azonic wheelset is a 150mm wide rear hub so it wouldn't fit a Reign. Unless you're a very heavy guy a 32mm/32 spoke wheel should be OK in the Transition wheelset (a 36mm/36spoke wheel is also going to be pretty heavy).

Even this set of wheels from Price Point would be pretty reasonable unless you're riding the Reign as a full freeride bike.

I weigh over 200 lbs and I will be using the bike specifically for rougher trails and drops. I see the mistake I made on the wheelset, they also have the azonics in standard 135mm spacing. I understand what your saying about the adjustable travel also. But i dont know if i would even use that. I think I am starting to lean more towards the Z1 FR SL and the Transition Revolutions in the wider version also. I am running 2.5" tires, they should be alright on a wider rim, dont you think or would the rim be too wide for that size tire?

i think you're going in the right direction with the z1 fr sl and transition wheelset. i'm surprised that wheelset is so light coming from a company like transition. my wheelset is a little heavier, but i can climb all day with them and its pretty dang strong.
