from third mountain on the left, ca Date Reviewed: March 8, 2012 Strengths: its pretty plush, it seems pretty strong, it doesnt flex very much, traditional evil-genius styled seals, easy to mod. Weaknesses: no rebound control, not 100 mm of travel without surgery, preload adjusters dont do jack-schitt and are plastic, not very easily disassemble-able, and grease lubricated/damped!! (EWWWWWW!!!) the fork wil imitate weather: gloomy-cold day=unresponsive, stiction, and slow rebound that doesnt hurt the wrists. warm sunny day=plush reactive fork but still with rebound that hurts the wrists. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: jedi- hulda crooks; snow summit ski slopes. Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $1234.00 Purchased At: came on a craigslist Similar Products Used: similar is a very broad term; manitou splice would be the closest thing, the rock shox judy DH is also very very close. worse producks; rst gila, suntour xcm v2, manitou six (broke the arch and the thing didnt compress!), rst capa t-6. better producks, manitou sherman (BEST FR fork ever owned), and nixon, rock shox recon, manitou nixon, society 4x, marzocchi z1 qr20, marzocchi z3 qr20, marzocchi z2 superfly, 66 tst2, and drop off, fox 100f, some old crazy showa. Bike Setup: foes zig zag hardtail, fsa orbit xl ll, some kind of truvativ downhill crank, azonic bars cut to 678, funn stem, rhyno lite hoops over hope bulb hubs, xtr derailleur and gearset, original bear claws, sram stainless chain, hayes mechanical brakes (iffy brakes), and thats about it.

from canada Date Reviewed: June 5, 2010 Strengths: gets the job done,predictable, suks up bumps nicely, only bottoms out on me (i weigh 145) when its nessesary (for a 120mm fork), the crazy rebound makes it really fun to fly off roots and bunny hop. Weaknesses: no adjustments, crazy rebound bad on drops, stairs and extremly rooty trails (but you can still do them) Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: dart's, various suntours Bike Setup: basically stock db response comp

from Knoxville, TN, USA Date Reviewed: January 11, 2008 Strengths: Ironic the differences in opinions- seems like no one knows what is good or not- no offense. Would help if cyclist noted level of rider that they are, i.e. Novice, Intermediate, Expert/Pro. I'm an intermediate MX motorcycle racer and find the fork pretty good so far- Not the most plush, but have ridden worse! Packing not a problem as long as you are going fast enough to hit the tops of bumps and such. Reliability to be determined. Reviewers should use spell check. It's hard to take a dumb ass illiterate serious. Weaknesses: See above. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Smokies Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $500.00 Purchased At: Tennessee Valley Bikes Similar Products Used: Various high end Rock Shox, mainly double crowned (although heavier they have less flex) through the years. More plush and adjustability so stuck with what I knew. I realize my short comings, as is the 1st Marzocchi I have used, which limits my opinion. Bike Setup: Stock Cinder Cone.

from Mission Viejo Date Reviewed: August 30, 2007 Strengths: Better than no suspension.. Weaknesses: No reboud (so when you jump something, the forks POP back out to full extension making a loud BINK). Preload adjustments don't seem to do anything. I guess they are just for looks or something. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Similar Products Used: Marzocchi Bomber (dj3's), Judys Bike Setup: Kona Stinky

from London, London, England Date Reviewed: July 5, 2007 Strengths: They soak up small bumps. Weaknesses: They stack up easily on multiple hits due to poor rebound. There is no rebound adjustment. Only comes with preload therefore setup is hit and miss. Poor tracking, too heavy for true XC use; they are mostly steel.
