I'm looking for cheap 100 or 120mm too 

Sixmo guys have selected this fork to sell it in the US.
Unless they are dishonest or dumb, it gives me confidence to try these Aliexpress fork.

EDIT: a comment on another fork, maybe some checks are necessary before buying:

"The product looks good but is in fact very low quality. the functions work well but the overall performance is poor. the fork load's up through travel and gets so stiff it doesn't work. I'm a retired pro cyclist and bike mechanic so I decided to take it apart. it's not a real mountain bike fork in any means. it has a air chamber that works but doesn't have a oil bath. so on either side there are no oil seals. on the rebound and compression side it's a low quality cartridge. again no oil seals so just cheap plastic bushings. I think this fork is good for very easy smooth trails not North shore of BC Canada."

If you look at the comment of a french guy in the comments, it looks scary...
After all, not sure I want to put such fork of a build I do for someone 

[Icyseanfitz]

im thinking of trying a cheaper off brand for my xc and trail bike, and i think if i do buy a cheap fork from Ali ill try the ztto ones. their stuff is generally of good quality in my experience.

but then for a little bit more you can get a manitou markour

Thanks, I forgot ZTTO. Will look their options.
Is it just the sticker that says Manitou? Or the internals too

I got a suntour from Ali that was 100% legit when I took it apart, same for a 160mm yari i bought, can't see why the manitous would be knockoffs, particularly with their odd reverse arch

I ordered a Markhor from Anto Bike Store on Ali 2 years ago and as far as I could tell it was legit, it's still going strong.

How do you find the fork? Thinking of buying one for an xc build

Can't comment on that, I put it on a friends bike.  He's given good feedback, but it's his first air fork so doesn't have anything quality to compare to.  He just dropped the bike off for yearly service yesterday, so I'm curious to pull the lowers and check it out.
