from Chicago, IL Date Reviewed: September 19, 2009 Strengths: This was the first MTB fork that set the standard by saying hey, suspension forks can be great. Easy to rebuild, still supported, inexpensive used. Weaknesses: It's a noisy fork! Normal operation consists of spring noises. It's flexy. I couldn't run an 8" rotor 'cause it would hit my fork when it flexed. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Des Plaines River Trail Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $130.00 Purchased At: eBay

from UK Date Reviewed: January 20, 2003 Strengths: Everything but the big problem! Weaknesses: One word - Spiking. This fork has permanently destroyed my wrists. I have spent way too much time and money trying to get these things working properly (springs, oil changes, cleaning out, new bushes and seals,) all the LBSs that i've been to here in the UK are not clued up on the problem, which i finally heard about from the UK importer - the damping cartridge is fatally flawed - there is simply way too much high speed compression damping, even with lightweight oil. It's appalling that such an expensive top of the line fork should have such a gross flaw. I am planning to drill out the compression cartridge as directed by windwave before i get out for my next ride. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $480.00 Purchased At: Julies cycles (UK) Similar Products Used: Just about every fork you can think of from the last 5 years, i've ridden at least briefly at some point. This is about the worst i've used. Bike Setup: 99 Specialized Enduro FSR Comp (modified to 5" rear travel with link from www.betd.co.uk) Hope O2 and avid CPS mech discs, LX groupset, Mavic F519 on Hope Sport/Deore.

from Minneapolis, MN Date Reviewed: June 21, 2001 Strengths: It's a Marzochi - see all pluses below. To reiterate, stiff, plush, stiff, plush, stiff, plush, etc. Got a polished version new and uncut off eBay for $200 - hard to beat. Weaknesses: I suppose I could gripe about weight but that's a waste of time. Spring kit info is confusing - i.e. it comes stock with 4" heavy (170-205lbs) springs although you're not explicity told that. LBSs and aftermarket folks (Mountainspeed) are just as confused in terms of what springs are actually spec'd in the fork. If you're converting to 5", which I've done, be sure that the folks ordering the springs for you get both new, longer main springs (proper rate per your weight and riding style) and new, shorter top out springs (one rate) - a total of 4 new springs. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The Farm Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $200.00 Purchased At: eBay Similar Products Used: RS Indy & Judy. The latter can be made acceptable, the former a POS. Marzocchi Z2 Alloy on my Jamis Dragon HT - another excellent fork. That old rigid number on my Schwinn High Sierra! Bike Setup: '00 FSR XC, Z1CR w/ 5" X-Heavy (195-240) spring kit, ECC kit on the way!, Red Rhynos w/ XT hubs, Thompson Elite seat post, crappy S-Works cranks and BB, XT rr der, LX fr der, Time ATAC, Titec Hell Bent bar, Titec Berzerker saddle, TO BE INSTALLED: Mountainspeed X-Rated Kit, new '01 FSR rear end with disc tabs, Float R and Avid Mech Discs front and rear!
