"The 34 Step-Cast that I used for so long came with their three-position FIT4 damper that, with open, medium, and firm modes, does make sense for a lot of trail riders. Thing is, that FIT4 cartridge isn't as good as their GRIP2 system when it's really rough and fast, and Fox doesn't offer a Factory-level 34 Step-Cast with GRIP2 (but you can get the heavier Performance model with the older GRIP damper that also beats FIT4.) RockShox's Charger Race Day doesn't have the low-speed compression adjustment that FIT4 does, but that doesn't stop the pint-sized damper from seeming to be able to offer more control when things are really rough and coming at you a bit too quickly. The SID is calmer in those moments, but I suspect I'd be hard pressed to see any contrast on smooth terrain. "

Rockshox normally can take less servicing without fucking the stanchions just below the seal...
35mm SID Ultimate, nothing like the old 32s stiffness wise which people might be thinking of: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/review-rockshoxs-all-new-sid-goes-bigger-and-lighter.html
Not sure how available in 29er flavour currently in the UK though. You won't go wrong with a 120mm Pike either
