from Minneapolis Date Reviewed: November 8, 2004 Strengths: Man, after really abusing this thing, I love it! Stiff (as stiff as my 'Zoke MX Comp). Can't bottom it (I'm 200lbs) and it has some great rebound. Weaknesses: I don't know...maybe it's too heavy for some people. I"m riding it on a SS so I couldn't give a damn! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Lebonon Hills Duration Product Used: 6 months Purchased At: Came on bike Similar Products Used: Judy SL '01 (what a gem that was) Fox Vanilla '02 'Zoke MX Comp ETA '03 Bike Setup: A bunch of stuff that's red and black.

from Maine Date Reviewed: August 24, 2001 Strengths: Italian style and beefy flex-free design.OH SO plush and responsive over big and small hits.Feels like a hell of a lot more than 80 mm of travel.Very little maintenance and absolutely bombproof seals! Weaknesses: The user's manual blows,and taking apart the fork to lube it is something of a pain in the arse.I wish Marzocchis had grease zerks like Manitou does.A little hard to tune,because it's hyper-sensitive and even a quarter-turn of rebound affects the fork's performance.Be careful when you dial it in. Some say the Z2 A-80 is a LITTLE better(maybe a little lighter too),but is it $150 better?No frickin' way. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $219.00 Purchased At: Airbomb Similar Products Used: Manitou SX,rigid forks--most of the other forks that I've tested are DH forks(Monster-T,X-Vert Carbon etc.) Bike Setup: Trek 7000 training bike
