from Charlotte Date Reviewed: November 7, 2008 Strengths: Pretty Weaknesses: TST Cartridge breaks easily Marzocci recommends changing oil every 60 hours - changing oil is a huge pain and at a bike shop cost $100 or more Marzocchi's warrenty is an oxymoron - they will not honor their warrenty Almost impossible to set up and the shock is over-engineered Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Tsali Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: Price Point Similar Products Used: Fox 120 mm (great shock) Other Marzocci products 100MM, 80 MM (2003 and older) (worked fine) Bike Setup: Specialized 2002 Enduro and Santa Cruz Blur LT - Both very sweet

from Canada Date Reviewed: August 23, 2006 Strengths: The fork when setup properly works pretty well on mid to big hits. The large range of adjustments allows you to set it up for a variety of situations. Weaknesses: Now the long list. 1. Durability: I have a hardtail and dually with this fork on it. Each for I have blown three times. First the lockout goes and then a couple of rides later the rebound damping goes. 2. Feel. For life of me I cannot get the fork to work on studder bumps. Perhaps if I where to spend another couple of hours fiddling with the six different adjustments I might be able to get it to work. 3. Too many adjustments. I like to fiddle with things but this fork is over the top. Unless you know what you are doing you can quite easily make this fork feel really bad. Bottom out resistence is great on a DH fork but is a bad idea on an XC fork not enough travel. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $400.00 Similar Products Used: Fox, Rockshox, Manitue Bike Setup: Two bikes one hardtail one FS both full XTR.

from Adelaide south Australia Date Reviewed: February 9, 2006 Strengths: Light -Can notice the steering responsivness with less weight than Z1. No air loss from any chamber, I think the lower air pressures used by marz over SPV's help reliability. Stealth looks in charcoal, alloy knobs,plenty of adjustment. Break in period - means good life! Weaknesses: Previous intergrated marzocchi fenders wont fit. Not sureabout the little rubber dust cap on bottom of left leg...will it fall out?...only speculation. Post mount not IS mount like all my older ones means new disk mount adaptors!...not really a weakness just PITA!! Break in period - takes a while for small bump sensitivity - not really a weakness! Crap manual with no pressure guidelines, must use web for setup info... Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Any single track Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: 2003 Z1 FR SL (great but heavier), Skarab Platinum (great, lighter but flexier),Skarab comp (good for money),Marz DJ3 (not in this class), RST 381R ...etc Bike Setup: Cannondale jekyll totally custom
