from Singapore Date Reviewed: February 12, 2003 Strengths: Indestructible like most Marzocchi forks. Due to my blunders, it has been whacked at wrong angles many time but working fine ~ Damping control works greaT! Weaknesses: Could have more travel, but it's not meant to be a long travel fork anyway and its short travel is good enuff for XC. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years Similar Products Used: Judy C Bike Setup: GT Zaskar Le

from San Francisco CA Date Reviewed: June 14, 2002 Strengths: Stiff, plush, well made. Weaknesses: Haven't really found one. Did have to upgrade to a "heavy" weight spring, which I settled on putting in one leg only after asking around and experimenting with both. Would be nice to have more choices of spring with the original purchase rather than having to buy another spring set. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: suum quique Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $270.00 Purchased At: Supergo Similar Products Used: Manitou Xverts, Marzocchi Xfly Z2 Bike Setup: Moots YBB for now, tempted to put it on my Heckler.

Canada Date Reviewed: March 25, 2002 Strengths: can literally beat the crap out of them for years without failure.Heh the harder you beat it the easier it fails right.../ totally wrong... Durable,easily adjusted,good travel and recoil,great control but I guess the missile helps.Slammed them into trees,had all kinds of front end contact haven't busted them literally yet.loves to suck em' up Weaknesses: After about 3 years trying to beat them to death in different ways had an 0-ring failure pffff no doubt.
