Strengths:    Very light, Very stiff, Beautiful looks!

Weaknesses:    None so far.

Bottom Line:   
This fork is excellent and very easy to maintain and setup. Once you dump in its champers the right amount of air pressure you are ready to go! Very responsive, very light (thus making it ideal for XC use, but don't even think to use this fork for downhill or freeriding, Marzocchi has a serious warning about it). All in all a great fork, despite its pretty design, i am not as well so convinced about that grey/dust color on it. Giving it 5 flamin' chili's and 4 for overall rating just because i haven't witnessed its rigidity through time. Three months of use ain't enough!

Strengths:    TST is fantastic, enabling efficent cycling up and downhill. NOT quite as flimsy as my previous roch shox sids. Incredibly light and therefore fantastic for going up hill!

Weaknesses:    not conviced about the colour!

Bottom Line:   
Great forks for great value. Generally good for all round relatively aggressive cross country!

Strengths:    Looks great. Works Great. Great Value. TST comes in very useful.

Weaknesses:    None so far :-)

Bottom Line:   
It was between this, the Marathon XC or RS Reba Team. I chose this because: a.) Marzocchi's Reputation b.) It has many of the features of the marathon like TST. The marathon just has ETA and TAS over it which i decided i wouldnt use anyway and would be paying for a novelty. The TST works beutifully in 5 stages changing your forks dampening all the waty from fully locked to the plushest setting, downhil. Its really easy to change with it being only on the top the right leg of the fork so im constantly fiddling with it depending on the terrain. Hope this helps :-)
