Strengths:    nothing can stop this fork

Weaknesses:    except how friggin heavy it is

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 :(

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:    It's very, very strong

Weaknesses:    What do u mean?

Bottom Line:   
Very very strong. I've put over 10 feet drops almost DAILY, and it haven't broke or anything. Much more better than the III. And it was not that expensive.

Date Reviewed: August 23, 2005

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

Strengths:    good travel


Weaknesses:    not really
bad color
KINDA HEAVEY


Bottom Line:   
GET IT IF U CANT AFFORD DJ3'S !!!!
Buy them if ur an ok biker or else u should get higher quality. But still a good fork if you like the colour. I dj and just ride around town and they're good for both and maybe even some racing? you never know.
