Marzocchi Z1 Drop-Off II 2004 Front Shocks
Product DescriptionThe Z.1 freeride series represents the pinnacle in long travel single crown design. The first Z.1, introduced in 1996, started the freeride movement by allowing riders to perform beyond their previous capabilities which were hampered by poorly performing products. The new Z.1 is made for riders who still love the up hill climbs as much as the downhill’s and allaround riding performance is the difference between a good ride and a great one. We feel that the new Z.1 freeride series unleashes performance demanded by today’s cutting edge riders.

from Woodbridge Ontario Canada Date Reviewed: September 3, 2007 Strengths: Its very strong especially since 20 mm forks are all the rage (i stick with qr though) It has survived a couple crashes and handled them like a champ. Very good for freeride and uses up just the right amount of travel which is essential when you only have 5 inches. Super efficient on the trails, not too heavy-not too light a terrific al around fork. Not too complicated and the prices nowadays on these forks are pretty low Weaknesses: Its a little flexy but nothing very noticeable. Could use a preload knob instead of air. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: any trail im on Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $200.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: Norco VPS buzz (soon to be atomik) vuelta excalibur rims, avid bb7, truvativ hussefelt, sram x-7

from Ashford, CT, U.S. Date Reviewed: May 18, 2007 Strengths: 20mm thru, 32 mm stanchions, stealthy black, cheap, air preload, compression adjuster, rebound adjuster. Weaknesses: The paint absolutely sucks. It's nice and stealthy black from the crown to the 20mm thruaxle. But, the paint is very bad. The stickers were peeling right out of the box, so I decided to remove them. I don't mind that part, because I hate stickers anyway. I guess I should have used a hairdryer or something, but they came off so easy. The part I minded was the paint coming off with the stickers. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Case Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $225.00 Purchased At: Performancebike.com Similar Products Used: Rockshox Pilot, Rockshox Tora 302, Marzocchi MZ2, Marzocchi Drop Off 1 (demo'd) Bike Setup: Mountain Cycle Rumble w/this fork, not complete yet...
