from the dirty south Date Reviewed: June 6, 2006 Strengths: I'm tired of all the little girls below crying about this fork being too heavy. Mine is a 2002 and it's only one pound heavier then a comparable 2006 model fork. After all it's a Downhill fork and if you ride it XC then that is your dumba$$ fault. Most people who actually trail ride this fork don't whine about how heavy it is. Now that we got that over with, on to the performance: You just can't beat a marzocchi. I've had this fork for 4 seasons and it is still buttery smooth. Once you get it set-up for your weight and riding style it eats up little bumps and big hits alike. Once a month you do need to bleed the air build up out of the fork - there are little allen screws on the top of the fork that allow you to do this easily. If you don't the fork will stiffen up like it's on viagra!!! I have not had any problems and the fork is great for racing and freeriding, but it probably is more of a race fork then a hucker. It is nice to be able to change the ride height without shortning the travel (big positive of the upside forks). Tracts great, very stiff front end. Stanchion guards look good and protect the front of the fork great. If you are a DH'er and find one at a good price it's worth every penny. Weaknesses: Stanchion guards do not protect the back side of the leg and rocks do bounce up and strach it. This can sometimes lead to leaky seals which someone below complained about. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Similar Products Used: Boxxer, Monster T, White Bros. DHR, Foes F1 Bike Setup: 2003 Intense M1, Shiver fork, Mavic 321's, Romic rear shock, DT Swiss hubs, Hayes, SRAM, MRP, etc....

from Santa Cruz Date Reviewed: January 28, 2006 Strengths: It's strong, plush and overall very nice. Good for DH Weaknesses: the guards, ive had rocks get behind them and scratch my stentions. the flex is not that bad like everyone says ive only had a problem with this once and i got my tire stuck in a water line on the trail and it tweaked and bent the fork but was easly fixed by loosening the bolts and it poped back, mines an 04 and i took it to the shop and they said that the drop outs leak and it had to be sent in it is a malfunction by marzocchi so they replaced it for free but will make you loose oil and you have to pay for a rebuild =( Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Dead Campers / Sick and Twisted Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: Ebay Similar Products Used: startos s8, Super t pro Bike Setup: 04 Specialized big hit with 04 shivers manitou 3 way rear shock hayes breaks and halo sas rims
