from CA Date Reviewed: April 21, 2007 Strengths: This is the RR, so its one below the 888R... This thing is amazing for freeride. DH, eh, the VF dampning system is ok, but its still a little bumpy. It soaks up almost everything though and has made my bike much funner to ride. Weaknesses: Lack of adjustment, break mounts. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: If it goes down, i like it Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $250.00 Purchased At: PinkBikey!!!

from San Jose. California Date Reviewed: April 15, 2007 Strengths: For being NIB forks and costing 350, That is a strength let alone. Super strong. Super stiff. Super reliable. Still havent changed my seals or oil yet and its been a year. Weaknesses: Nothing. I guess marzocchi didnt remember that people were too stupid to read the instructions, hence the cracked lowers. Thats not really a weakness tho, just the riders weakness.
