from Romania Date Reviewed: March 31, 2010 Strengths: Never says never. Long travel, looks huge (it is), scares little kids, plush. inverted design keeps the bushings all lubed up, ultra-low maintenance, soaks up drops and/or other objects that you might stumble upon. Adjustments work fine Weaknesses: Adjustments get stuck sometimes, rebound adjuster very hard to use without screwdriver. Drips oil from lower fastening nut. Heavy.

from Canada Date Reviewed: November 3, 2004 Strengths: Extremely strong, good sensitivity, extremely low maintenance. Flex is fine. Weaknesses: Fork bottoms very harsh if too little oil, and locks if too much. Impossible to get a good feeling bottom with this fork. As a result, harsh impacts are painful to the hands. Crown clamps tend to stretch a lot, so you need to be careful of torque. Burp screws are too small, and can strip easily. The uppers aren't quite long enough for long head tubes, so the top crown can hit some frames, or not provide enough clamping.

Weaknesses: no lock-out for climbing (ha ha), typical of marzocchi, mine was just about dry when i got it - why doesn't marzocchi put their recommended oil volume in these things?

from Victoria, B.C. Canada Date Reviewed: August 26, 2004 Strengths: Lovely plush travel eats up everything thrown at it. Great for a big boy like me (100kg) who likes to do big drops and ride too fast. Bottomed out a bit before I got some heavy weight oil put in. Now its perfect. Love being able to tune the fork dampening and spring rate so easily. Weaknesses: None really, other then it's kinda hard to wheelie the bike for the first time with these forks! HA HA. Also (not really a product weakness), but if you run a big fat front tire on 26" rim watch for the tire hitting the underside triple-clamp on big drops. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Dirt Merchant \ A-Line Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $750.00 Purchased At: Pinkbike.com Similar Products Used: Monsters, DJII, Dropoffs etc... Bike Setup: Norco s-hore.
