Weaknesses:
top out! Bottom out! cant seem to get the air ballance right and why does it have to be so accurate? wheres the ajustability? anything over 6-8ft drop and they slam out! they sit into there travel bu about a 3rd any less thet top out.
they work ok, when your super smooth ... if your like me and your always up for trying somthing new and more than likely your gonna have to bail then they aint to good, they bottom out with a big clonk noise and if you add more pressure to counter this then they top out all the time especialy when cold. However if you are super smooth then they are good they track the ground well. if I were you and i had the money I would go for fox 36 talas and run them down at min travel.

Purchased At:
Marzocchi
Strengths:
Very stiff,Looks.
Weaknesses:
Knocking noise,Very little rebound adjustment,Reliability.
Bike Setup:
Giant STP
Bottom Line:
This has been the worst fork I have ever owned!!! Out of the box the rebound didn't work. Sent back to Marzocchi and they couldn't find anything wrong,so they sent it back.
I immediately sent it back to them for the same reason and this time they said the SSVF valve was stuck. I got the fork back and thought every thing was going to be good now,unfortunately it wasn't. I now had a little rebound adjustment, but not what it should be. I put the fork back on my bike and just learned how to ride it the way it was because I was tired of dealing with Marzocchi. Since I've owned this fork I have maybe 25 very mild rides on it and now the fork is toping out and there is no rebound damping at all and is unridable. Sent an email off to them with no response. I'm just going to cut my loss on this one.

Second hand
Strengths:
very smooth, light weight
Weaknesses:
If it can be 100mm, it will be better. The spring preload side of air does not easy to be set up because the air it needed is too little. My shock pump does not show 0-15 psi clearly or accurate.

Bike Setup:
Commencal 4x vip, mrp chain guide, set of X.0, tank mithras with single track, 20mm axle to QR adapter with A2Z ti QR, Juicy 5.
Bottom Line:
I love the color of white legs with black travel pie. When i using for XC it is not soft as i using DJ setting. But DJ setting is quite easy to be used all the travel. I think you should add more 10psi of the positive air. that will be better for 4x or DJ

Strengths:
Incredibly stiff chassis. Very light for as burly as it is. Good looking. Standard Marzocci toughness and ease of setup.
Weaknesses:
Didn't come properly setup from factory -oil levels were wrong. Fork spring makes a slight knocking noise. Noise may come from the too-thin aluminum pre-load spacer on the spring.
