from Colorado Springs, CO Date Reviewed: February 20, 2008 Strengths: Light. Very Plush when broken in and the pressure is set right. As most are aware by now, Marzocchi's recommendations are way, way off. I'm about 195 lbs in gear and I run 65psi in the main and 95 in the PAR. I absolutely get full travel. A normal run down a "real" DH trail will normally get me all but the last 3/4" of travel. Most hard high speed hits will use all but the last 3/8" of travel. I have used absolutely all the travel maybe a half dozen times. It will basically only bottom when you need it most. Big drops don't really seem to do it. Nasty high speed hits are what will really do it. I bottomed it for the first time at the Angel Fire race last year. I hit one of those 12" high water bars in the high speed section after the hip at about 40 mph. I was dead tired and just couldn't lift the front at all. This fork just sucked it up and leveled that thing. Ziptie was all the way to the top after my run. I did have the ATA wind down issue, but Renegades fix with the heavier detent springs was an easy fix and now it works perfect. Overall, after a complete season on the fork, I am very happy with it and am running for another season. These forks will bottom without modification under the right circumstances (i.e. when you REALLY need it). If you fell you need to use all 8" of travel on the Sea Otter course then you probably won't be happy with it. Push the limits and it's an awesome fork. Weaknesses: Marzocchi's setup screwup. This is the most mis-understood fork out there. Marzocchi is largely to blame for their horribly wrong setup info. Get it setup right and it's awesome. The ATA problem is a drag, but easily fixable. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Porcqupine Rim-Moab Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $700.00 Similar Products Used: 2007 Boxxer WC Bike Setup: Last season: Brooklyn Race link. 888SL. Hadley hubs, blah, blah This season: Back on my 05 DHR, 888SL, Industry Nine wheels, DMR ex type cranks, Avalanche shock.

from living in:Santiago, Chile from:U.S.A Date Reviewed: April 14, 2007 Strengths: Light, plush, adjustments really work well and make the fork feel different with every click of a knob...and oh yeah, the looks. So far, perfect, but tomorrow I'll try it on the dirt. Weaknesses: The ata knob hurts your fingers a bit when you turn it from 200mm all of the 160mm. I haven't rid any real downhill yet, but tomorrow I am going riding.So I'll write another review. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Valle Nevado Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $950.00 Purchased At: Internet Similar Products Used: 2005 888vf, 06 888RC2X, 06 888RC2 Bike Setup: 06 Demo 9 with maxxis tubeless tires, a ti spring, random seat from my brothers bike, and of course the 07 888 SL ATA.

from UK Date Reviewed: December 4, 2006 Strengths: everything about it....i haven't come across any weakness as of yet I've ridden them over three weeks for about 25, 30 hours of riding and no problems. the fork feel great out of the box it doesn't feel like it needs bedding in at all. but after a few rides its even plusher. strengths are: it light weight (i don't know of a lighter triple clamp fork on the market), massive amount of external adjustment, and the fact the travel adjust can be set to what you want between 160mm and 200mm with 12 click (12 different heights) Weaknesses: costs money...really i've though for a while what i don't like about this fork and thats the best thing i can come up with!!!

from vancouver Date Reviewed: December 2, 2006 Strengths: Feels good right out of the box. The ATA on mine actually adjusts from 160-200mm, even better! Noticeably lightens the front end. Very adjustable. Can be linear or progresive, depending how much pressure you put in the lower chamber. Weaknesses: Nothing yet. Maybe the cheesy imitation-carbon stickers? This isn't a riced-up Honda Civic from Surrey! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Similar Products Used: Shiver, 888, Avy, Manipoo. Many...
