from bellingham, WA Date Reviewed: July 14, 2004 Strengths: The ETA works incredible well at lowering the front end 1.5-2" and helps with hill climbs. The HSVC dampening can take the fork from no rebound dapening to slow as mole asses in a montana winter. QR20 always a plus for control. Weaknesses: Having to buy atleast in my case an adapter to add air to the fork to stiffen it up a little, low on iol from the factory like all Marzocchis.

from Santa Cruz, CA, USA Date Reviewed: July 14, 2004 Strengths: ETA feature is more useful than other travel adjustments. The 04 adjuster knobs are easier to use. The fork does an excellent job at reacting to a broad range of impacts without cavitation or doing anything funny, and is difficult to bottom out. Weaknesses: The almost complete lack of compression damping is a problem, and I will switch forks as soon as Fox makes a thru axle because of it. The damping is not as good as older Marzocchis I have owned, and the overall quality level is low and not what I expeced based on those previous forks. The quick release is in fact very slow and somewhat fragile. I would prefer a normal thru axle. The bushing play is a little excessive for how long I have owned the fork. The "black box" nature of the damping cartridge makes it so I cannot effectively tune my fork. If I had a shim stack to play with, I could make this fork do exactly what I want. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: ABS Similar Products Used: Fox V125RLC, Manitou Sherman Firefly Bike Setup: Turner 5 Spot build heavy and sweet.

from Marin, CA Date Reviewed: February 28, 2004 Strengths: Able to suck up the small bumps and do the big stuff too. Three inch tree stumps are not worth the effort of unweighting your front wheel on this fork. Another big plus is it's weight because it goes to making it very stiff which is a good thing on rutty, bumpy downhills. The ETA adjustment is super, twist the dial on the top of the fork and the front of your bike drops down an inch and a half or two for those steep uphills, not to mention eliminating the bobbing on thoses short steep out of the saddle climbs. Weaknesses: Fork is too tall for Crosscountry frames. This is just nitpicking, but I had to write something.
