Marzocchi Shiver DC 2004 Front Shocks
Product DescriptionThe Shiver line of forks gives you unsurpassed lateral stiffness all the while offering up the unmatched smoothness of an inverted design. It's no wonder works motocross and road race suspension forks are inverted in design. Marzocchi brings this technology to the mountain bike. By inverting the stanchions and moving the majority of the fork's weight to the legs, the Shiver series reduces unsprung weight resulting in bump and steering sensitivity that is second to none.

from saint john N.B. Canada Date Reviewed: September 1, 2004 Strengths: buttery smooth,Inverted design allows for amazing sensitivity to small bumps and big bumps alike.Fairly light at 8.5 pounds.It tracks well and seems stiff to me and I am used to riding a monster T.Shure if you put the tire between your legs and twist the bar it will twist the fork but there is no way you could apply this type of force while riding the bike so any one who thinks that is a weakness does not DESERVE to ride one. P.S.(the new red decals look killer.) Weaknesses: The stanchion protectors on my fork rubbed on the legs making an annoying noise.I just put electrical tape around them....Problem solved (NOT A REAL WEAKNESS) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $830.00 Purchased At: price point Similar Products Used: All bombers,boxxer race(Biggest crap box ever).Manitou shermin Bike Setup: 03 norco a-line
