Strengths: Tight geometry, active suspension, great feel. Reviews I see are all positive, other than cracks in frames!! I rode the bike hard for 2 years, and it did me right. I'm 180lbs.
Weaknesses: FAILED WELD in 7005 aluminum "unified rear triangle", company unwilling to deal with it.
Bottom Line:
Voodoo Canzo Titanium (main frame) which is very clean, 7005 aluminum rear triangle with cracked weld. Fox Float rear suspension is circa 04. This frame is in need of a CLEAN REAR TRIANGLE - if your Canzo's main frame failed, I'm interested in the rear -- OR -- I'd deliver my titanium main frame to you - did yours fail? Want to build up a showroom rideable classic? VooDoo was resurrected, and is too puny or callous to offer assistance.
Similar Products Used: I now ride a Gary Fisher Cake2 Dlx - lifetime warranty!
Bike Setup: FOX FLOAT RS circa 04 - set me back $250 - and worth it

Strengths: its a voodoo, not everyone has one, light as aluminum and strong a steel. price (as of late '02)
Weaknesses: natural titanium isnt real pretty, replacement hangers and such can be hard to come by, voodoo no longer exsists (but rumors have been floating around about a return)
Bottom Line:
its a shame that voodoo isnt around anymore but theyre demise makes it possible to snag a canzo ti frame for $600 brand new. with an xt build kit the bike weighs in at 25.1 lbs w/slime, pump, and empty water bottle.
killer trail bike, i do jump it but i wouldnt consider myself a "freerider". with as much as i love this bike i dont abuse it, so i dont do drops off houses or anything but on the local xc trails itll take anything that is offered. lockout on the shock lets me sprint like a hardtail, and even though its FS its still lighter than my last hardtail. i weighed it against my wifes rockhopper and it was almost six lbs lighter (rockhopper was 30.8)
all in all im very pleased and hope to have this bike for a long time.

Strengths: Light,stiff and bouncey when you need it.Classic beauty.
Weaknesses: None really. You tend to skin your knuckles on the down tube when adjusting the pre-load on the shock. I can live with it.
Bottom Line:
Take this with a grain of salt because I haven't ridden many other FS bikes. This bike is out of this world. It rides like a dream. Stiff,light.The high BB allows you to scamper over just about anything. It is crisp in the climb and feels stangely like it weighs about 15 lbs. Its's un-fricking-canny( I am used to a 23lb hardtail).It tracks so well on the descents. You can flick the thing around like a hardtail--it carves yet feels so plush. It feels beefy enough on drops. It covers chatter like a hover craft. This FS thing is a whole new sport. I clear trails I always struggled with and ride drops I used to walk. I am still giddy everytime I ride this thing. I love this bike. Way to go Voodoo. I would give it 6 chillis if I could.

Strengths: Excelent at climbing gnarley single track, Very quick down hill single track.
Weaknesses: A little light on the front end when road climbing. But, hey who cares about the road.
Bottom Line:
It's nice to see the other owners out there have the same opinion. This is definitely an excellent all round bike but with an empathies on smooth.It is not the lightest Titanium frame on the market but it rides down fast and it climbes like a Monkey. The Marz. z1's have a massive amount of travel and easily swallow anything thrown at them. I've not had the bike long but have given it some real punishment and it is standing upto it very well. I am looking forward to many happy hours riding on this baby.
Bike Setup: Free ride, I've changed the Flat bars to Club Roost risers.

Strengths: climbs well on any trail. verry stable at high speed and in the air.
Weaknesses: a little flexy
Bottom Line:
i can't belive this bike has no review's. i have a 98 canzo ti and i've put 2500 miles on it from the day i got it in march 99. this bike makes you feal like a little kid on christmas morning every day you take off on it. i had to change the seals and the springs in my bomber. i'm about 195 lbs. i also bent my front axel on my cross lands but that was easily fixed and the rims still spin true. bottom line this bike rules! i've raced bmx for 13 years, and although i love getting lost in the oregon woods i can't pass up the bmx jumps and a little street thrashing. this bike has taken it all in stride with no problems (except the seals in my bomber). i've never had a second thought about spening the $$$$$$$$$$.
