Favorite Trail:the town is my playground
Duration Product Used:6 months
Price Paid: $450.00
Purchased At:my uncles bike shop
Strengths:nothing can stop this fork
Weaknesses:except how friggin heavy it is
Similar Products Used:4 dj series, exr series, mz series
Bike Setup:06 dmr rhythm, 05 dj2, camo mtx wheelset welded and machined
Bottom Line:its a great fork for the money but lacks adjustability and its way to heavy, it also is not the same amount of rebound all the way throught, at the start of the travel theres none then about and inch and a half down theres lots, but it is a decent dirt jumping and street fork because of its sheer strength.

Strengths:heavy metal :)
Weaknesses:heavy metal :(
Similar Products Used:66RC
Bike Setup:Giant Acid2, DH Wheels
Bottom Line:If you don´t crash with your bike the fork lasts very long. i guess that the mangesium legs are not that resistant agaist crashs like the old forks but if you don´t crash the fork is exactly doing what it has do do. buy it and go hardcore riding (by the way i do not work for marzocchi) :) cheers

Strengths:strong. Cheep for wot u get.
Weaknesses:nothing. Sometimes the colour but it goes with my bike and the INTERNAL rebound
Bottom Line:very good pair of forks. Really good for the monney and external air load. Very good for dj( in the name) it gives you extra lift at the lip of the ramp and send you sky high. Great landing if you have them pumped up right. Takes all the impact
