from Bozeman, MT Date Reviewed: March 1, 2007 Strengths: Good adjustability with the air assist. From experience, it does take big hits well. Good for an all around fork that can do it all. Weaknesses: Not a plush as the more expensive forks but that's the way things work. I have never used the lockout or the rebound adjustment but some may. I have had the rebound full on and the lockout full off on every ride up and down. If you want every bump soaked up, spend the extra cha-ching. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: Crap, anything would have been an upgrade. Bike Setup: Stock Dawg Deluxe. The fork came OEM.

from ithaca ny usa Date Reviewed: October 17, 2006 Strengths: Very adjustable. Lockout works great, easy to add air pressure out on trail if needed. Holds pressure well. Weaknesses: NONE YET! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: chair trail shindagin hollow Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $100.00 Purchased At: ebay Similar Products Used: I had a marzocchi Z1 wedge on my old bike as an upgrade because as many of you know it's hard to afford a good bike that has a real fork. Once again I got a modest xc bike with fairly good components and the fork was a manitou axel with 180mm travel. But what good is all that travel if it is too SOFT!!! Dangerous, and all the adjustments were decorations. So due to the great deal of satisfaction I had with my Z1 that I sold with my old bike I knew it was time to seek out another marzocchi, and they didn't dissapoint. Bike Setup: Schwinn rocket marzocchi gran fondo 1 fork. Fox vanilla coil over rear shock, five inches front and rear! Hayes mechanical disc breaks work great riding four times a week for the last couple months.
