from halifax canada Date Reviewed: April 27, 2009 Strengths: Simple reliable open bath design, if you keep her in fresh oil its super plush, external rebound and compression, once you get it dialed its great. I made preload spacers, because its too soft, I'm 185lb, it helped but still blows through its travel. Heavy springs are on teh way and it should be good to go. Weaknesses: none so far Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: all kinds Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: used Similar Products Used: various Bike Setup: session 77

from Sydney Australia Date Reviewed: December 16, 2006 Strengths: strong, plush feel (first 2 weeks) Weaknesses: a little heavy, after 2 weeks springs started rattling as though they were not long enough. another couple of weeks and they're topping out. Tried contacting Marzocci a couple of times they still haven't gotten back to me and my bike shop doesn't seem to know SFA about the 888's.

from boulder Date Reviewed: June 1, 2006 Strengths: Stiff, 8inches, It's a Marzocchi Weaknesses: Had to mess with oil level a bit to get it dialed in, to much oil and i would only use 6-1/2 inches even on big drops (i'm 160lbs). not enough oil, you could crank up the compression to compensate but would not get enough rebound (would top out). Once you get it dialed in to your liking, it's an awsome fork.

from Calgary Date Reviewed: May 16, 2006 Strengths: The biggest thing I noticed was how much the bike wants to jump and fly over obstacles. I was worried the shorter length of the '06 888 would make me feel less confident on super steeps. Not so, this fork has inspired new confidence. Weaknesses: None so far. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $700.00 Purchased At: Bow Cycle Similar Products Used: 03' Super T Pro Bike Setup: SC Bullit, SRAM, Mavic, Saint X-Drive, Hayes HFX-9, 888.
