from Eindhoven, The Netherlands Date Reviewed: June 29, 2006 Strengths: Really plush ride, that can also be adjusted to be more firm. Provides control and feels rigid. Weaknesses: Odd adjustment of right hand POS air chamber (removal of TST-cap necessary) and a small design flaw (IMHO) on the left hand side. The fork is hollow for about 10cm at the dropouts. This most certainly results in a weaker fork. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $600.00 Similar Products Used: Manitou Pro C, Rockshox Judy DH, Rond-Magura Quake C Bike Setup: Klein Pulse Pro, Ritchey WCS cockpit, SRAM/Shimano driveline. No OEM components present anymore.

from Erie, Pennsylvania, USA Date Reviewed: June 21, 2006 Strengths: Very smooth and very plush, and stiff. Weaknesses: Are four chambers necessary? Air vavle on the cap on the TST side does not line up, have to remove entire cap, takes a bit more time. Decals for an expensive such as this is odd. Weight is a weakness but worth the trade off in performance. MOST OR ALL, the TST remote is not compatible.

from Nashville, TN Date Reviewed: May 4, 2006 Strengths: Tracks superbly especially after you have been riding SID's for years. Plush and compliant and the TST works. Weaknesses: I bought the fork with the intention of using the TST handlebar remote but I had to wait a month for the kit. After getting it tried to install it and the diagrams of the fork in the instructions were different then my fork. Come to find out after calling Marzocchi Tech Support that some of the 2006 Marathon Races (early production run) are different and need to have the whole TST cartridge removed and a new top cap installed. The cap however is not available for 3-4 weeks and I will need to ship the fork to Marzocchi and then pay for the installation. Needless to say, I am very upset. I purchased the fork based on the information provided by Marzocchi. Had I known of what was going to be involved I would have bought a Reba World Cup instead. I race SS endurance races and bobbing on the flats is unacceptable. I am disappointed in Marzocchi and hope that they can fix this problem. Otherwise, this fork will be on Ebay.
