Strengths:    Adjustability, Aesthetics

Weaknesses:    None Yet, owner's manual regarding settings etc...

Bottom Line:   
First fork delivered...opened the box and found something wasn't right...oil leakage. Kudos for Customer service with Jenson as i called them up and received another one within the next two days. Race epic 8 and 24 hour events (on a budget) and can't complain with the performance. I do my own wrenching and am still dialing this fork in, in otherwords....highly adjustable..when it's on..IT's ON!!!

Strengths:    comfortable, ok travel...great for what they are.

Weaknesses:    when i got it it would get stuck in lock out. i got it fixed and no problems so far. also it doesnt have much travel.

Bottom Line:   
works great but not enough travel for me. if you like drops they are probably not best for you, but they will work great just for riding trails.

Strengths:    none

Weaknesses:    leaked air / oil almost immediately. Two of my friends bought these, and they both returned their 1st one, and then the 2nd units leaked as well. The shock seems to be over engineered for a XC fork.

Bottom Line:   
We all had trouble with the shock (each tried two of these shocks with the same failure modes). In my opinion, Marz shouldn't be distributing these, and JensenUSA shouldn't be selling them.

Strengths:    Very good looking forks. Adjustability is good.

Weaknesses:    The TST2. The TST2 blew out while I was in a XC race. I only weigh 72kg and the bump that blew them was not that big.

Bottom Line:   
I love Marzocchi products and was disappointed when the TST blew out. I have contacted Jenson USA and they are going to repair the forks under warrany; however, I live in Australia and I have to pay for them to be shipped to and from Jenson USA. I have also contacted Marzocchi and I am still waiting on a reply. I will proberly replace the TST myself as it will be cheaper and take less time. I comment again after I hear from Marzocchi.

Submitted by Chris a Racer from Raleigh, NC

Date Reviewed: September 10, 2007

Strengths:    Looks sexy, light-weight, ease of adjustment

Weaknesses:    TST cartridge is unreliable-had to service after the first 3 months of use (approx 300 mi. Rebound cartridge just broke 4 months after the first service. Proprietary valve adapter is so ridiculous-you lose it you're screwed-probably some marketing gimmick. Factory oil results in a pretty stiff ride; not as plush as some other competitors. Wasn't too impressed with the ETA/ATA system


Bottom Line:   
Didn't care for it. I'm 6'2" 170-180lbs. I don't huck the thing, just aggressive XC riding/racing. I checked the air pressure at the regular intervals, and inspected for leaking. This fork just didn't have it, rebound should be renamed "recoil". TST2/5 system is cool when it works right. This is one of those situations where looking back, I wouldn't have made the purchase.

Strengths:    Somewhat light for a sprung fork, not sure I will ever use all the adjustments that are posible on it.

Weaknesses:    I will work them out, so far it is bad to the bone!

Bottom Line:   
This is a sweet fork, the anti bottom out mechanism really works. I like to jump and ride XC so we will see how she does. This is one of the better looking forks I have owned, I also put a front disc on with the new fork, I also really love the squishy feel.
