from Bellingham, WA, USA Date Reviewed: September 5, 2010 Strengths: The strength and reliability of this fork is insane. Over the years, I forget it is even there. Honestly, I have abused and tortured it now for almost three seasons of resort riding and never performed any maintenance on it at all. The seals never once leaked and it just got better over time as it "broke in". Of course, now that I've had the first maintenance done, the dampening and control is improved and I find it excellent in the most technical and burly steeps. Also, as other reviewers have said, hard landings are almost unnoticeable with this thing. I don't know if I have ever truly bottomed it, even with perfect spring rate and oil height using all available travel to within a 1/4" of the bottom crown (measured with zip tie on stanchion). Weaknesses: It isn't still being made today (in Italy) in a lighter weight version! 2007 was Marzocchi at its best. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Dirt Merchant (whistler) Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $850.00 Purchased At: Gallatin Alpine Spor Similar Products Used: Boxxer team, 66 Bike Setup: 2007 Sunday Elite frame w/ DHX 5, Codes, Sun MTX wheels / DT hubs, Maxxis rubber, sic camo bars, Diabolus cranks... sick!

from Vancouver Date Reviewed: July 21, 2008 Strengths: The ability to set this fork to your exact liking would be a major strength in my opinion. Mine is set up now where it seems like it might be too soft but it rarely bottoms which is how I like it. Weaknesses: I might have paid a bit more than ideal but if I get a product that works for me I'm ok with that.

from The Yay area Date Reviewed: September 17, 2007 Strengths: Buttery smooth. Small bump damping is top notch while big hit/drop bottom out works great as well. Best of both worlds. Ease of service. Weaknesses: None really, the adjuster on the bottom of the fork hangs out there a little to much for rock banging. When I first installed the fork it had stickshion at beginning of movement. I sent it out to Marazocci they did the works and it is and has been perfect.
