OK performance for a budget fork.
Weaknesses:
Rebound too slow for general riding - ANY ADJUSTMENT OR SERVICING CAN ONLY BE CHANGED BY DEALER FOR £40!!!
Similar Products Used:
Z2 Atom Race - Superb quality and fully servicable at home.
Bottom Line:
DON'T BUY MARZOCCHI FORKS! Used to be excellent with full instructions for home servicing. Now, state that any servicing must be done by Marzocchi Service Centre (at a cost of £40 upwards) and they no longer give customer access to detailed service manuals. Furthermore, most adjustment is now internal with deliberately obscure tools! So much for a budget fork, which is going to cost you £100 per year on top of the purchase price!
