from Kenmore, WA, UA Date Reviewed: February 9, 2010 Strengths: Inexpensive, advertised as long travel, good looks, mounts for disk brakes. Smooth travel. Good for long(er) travel cross-country. Weaknesses: Top adjustments do nothing. Springy rebound. Was WAY too stiff in stock form. I could only use half of the travel, no matter the size of drop. I took Steve's advice posted here and took off the top hats (used vice grips and turned the splined plastic nut), pulled the springs, and removed BOTH elastomers. I cut one in half, to provide a little bit of bottom out protection, and put half of one elastomer back in. Finally had a usable fork. With this setup I can bottom the fork doing any sizeable drop, but this setup is for my girlfriend who's about 120lbs and just getting into all-mountain. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $80.00 Purchased At: Friend Similar Products Used: Manitou Splice, Manitou Nixon Super, Rock Shox Tora 302. Bike Setup: 99 Gary Fisher Big Sur. Thudbuster suspension seatpost, xtr/xt drivetrain, Sugino Mighty 900 cranks

from wolverhampton Date Reviewed: July 20, 2009 Strengths: uumm, says marzocchi on the side? Weaknesses: everything. they are no way stiff enough, if you take the wheel out and put try to twist the stanchions, they flex ridiculously. because of this,when you go round a corner at speed, or indeed round a corner, the wheel twists against the axle/fork and knackers the hub. aswell as the that, as it twists, the disk grinds against the inside of the fork and wrecks the disk, the disk wrecks the caliper and before you know it you have no front brake. your tires rub against the inside of the fork and wear your tires down. think thats all, phew! it has wrecked the front of my bike and ive only owned the forks 6 months!!!

from Whitby, Onaterio, Canada Date Reviewed: January 7, 2008 Strengths: They look nice, do their job excellently. Very cushy. Weaknesses: On my first pair of Mazocchi MZ Comps, they Stanchions (both) fell out, revealing the spring coils inside. IT was unfortunate that i was on the bike while it happened. But my second pair work fine. My first pair, must have had a manufacturing defect, or something. My second pair, work sweetly. There very beginer. There good forks, but if you plan on going big, spend the money get better ones. Otherwise, there excellent for XC, but i jump them.
