I purchased a Dorado MRD X-Works and they are now pulled from production. I guess they were having problems with the seals.
Now I am in the hunt for a new fork for my Intense M3. Which should I get? and why?
Thanks for your help. :)

Avalanche.

I recently decided to go with Avalanche. Primarily because of their rep, their small shop, handmade products, their shocks and springs can be rebuilt/serviced at your local MX shop and you can actually talk to the guy who is building the fork. Everyone raves about their rear shocks, including me - i have purchased 2 of them over the years for different frames. It is my understanding that their forks are the same "a cut-above" performance and feel.
Consider it!

Is he having any problems with it?
I already have the MRD X Works but, have not been able to get on it since I do not have the frame as of yet.

Pros forks don't count and everyone i've seen or talked to has had bad luck with their X-Works.
