from Brisbane Date Reviewed: September 24, 2001 Strengths: PLUSH and low maintenace. The Marzocchi's are the BEST forks for freeride. They are not only plush and soaking up the bumps, they also take a LOT of abuse. My Z2 Bam's don't flex at all, unlike the headshok forks. These forks are BOMBPROOF for me (but this may not apply to many, since I'm only 166cm and weigh 55 kilos). Reliabitly of Marzocchi's are well known by all whom take riding serious. They have never ever felt harsh underneath me and I do 5 foot drops on this bike and I've never bottomed out on it yet. Nothing compares to a Marzocchi fork. The feel of a Marzocchi is totally different to any other fork on the market. Weaknesses: None, unless you're a XC weight weenie.
