from Surrey, U.K. Date Reviewed: September 1, 2009 Strengths: The Rc2x will handle anything you throw at it from drops to downhill and can take pure abuse! Loves to be ridden hard & fast on rocky downhill sections. The faster you ride with this fork and the harsher the terrian gets, the better it performs! Low maintenance - fit & forget. Weaknesses: Very heavy fork if intended use is for a do it all bike like mine, but the weight doesnt effect performance on downhill and freeride applications. Too many adjustments, are they really necessary? Takes ages to set up.

from Sacramento Ca. USA Date Reviewed: April 8, 2008 Strengths: Bullet Proof! Bottomless ! Looks Sick! High speed compresion rules.super stiff crown and stantions. No Maintanance.Just ride it as hard as you can Mud/snow whatever This Fork Kicks ASS! 180 MM of Life saving pleasure. Blows doors on fox 36. Weaknesses: None Really. but the only knock I could think of is the compression and rebound caps come loose and fly off like others have said. Check your knob and caps before each ride. A little bit of a weight penalty but it's worth it for the ride.

from Andover, CT, U.S. Date Reviewed: November 26, 2007 Strengths: Solid, absolutely more adjustable than a motocross fork. Marzocchi maintains forks that can be adjusted with air/oil volume instead of a fixed damper that only the supplier can tweak. Big Bonus. Weaknesses: on the heavy side, see strengths. I'm torn about leaving a weakness, because it's really not. The bottom out adjustment I'm sure could be handled by oil/air volume, but not by weenies. So RC would be enough.

from Tampa FL USA Date Reviewed: October 12, 2007 Strengths: Mine is a late year 06 with 180mm travel. I rode this baby at Northstar on their closing weekend in the snow and cakey mud and it performed flawlessly, cleaned off wipers and they looked as good as new. I forgot I was riding a single crown. stiff no flex like the old shivers, scratched against a rock and the scratch didn't make it past the primer Weaknesses: Lost big red compression cap first ride out ... no worries found 2 at Whistler, some knocking sound in the rebound at fast speeds didn't affect performance Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Hole in the ground Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $450.00 Purchased At: jensen Similar Products Used: 66 sl, fox40, dorado, sherman breakout plus, Bike Setup: SC vp-free, 66rc2x, thompson, wtb, hadleys, mavic ex729, hayes, protapers, xtr, raceface diabolus

from port hope, ontario Date Reviewed: April 9, 2007 Strengths: color, stickers, weight, hight, travle, adjustment, everything on this fork is dialed. Weaknesses: something wrong with mine*, but its not noticable when sitting on the bike so i dont care. the rebound nob on mine takes 2 fingers to turn and not much grip, i am going to grind it up with a file or something for more grip when i have some time. the air valve caps are either insanely loose or insanely tight. going to put some loctite aswell. these do not compromise the ride.
