from KC MO US Date Reviewed: May 22, 2011 Strengths: Reliable, durable, cheap. Air preload is nice to have on a coil sprung fork. Weaknesses: Seems to have lost all plushness, essentially less plush every time I ride. I see a few reviews mention some needing port hole drilled - will have to look into that. Makes habitual clicking noise when topping out. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: Jenson Similar Products Used: Numerous cc forks from Marz, RS, Manitou Bike Setup: Specialized HardRock Pro, LX drivetrain, upgraded wheelset

from Ontario, Canada Date Reviewed: January 6, 2010 Strengths: This has been an all around good fork. travel is perfect for dirt jumping and riding street because it gives you a little extra boost that rigids cannot provide. Weaknesses: I have only found two things wrong with the fork but neither of them effect the riding in any way. You can easily get tire rub on the stanchions but that is because i ride with a quick release and when the rebound is turned up all the way, it makes a clicking noise but most of them do that so no biggy. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Street Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $150.00 Purchased At: pinkbike Similar Products Used: Rockshox Argyle, DJ 3, Manitou Splice, Manitou Drake Comp Bike Setup: 2007 Brodie Cretin, Single speed, mtx rims, avid juicy 5 breaks, dj 2 forks, deity stem and handlebars, odyssey seat, hollowbite cranks

from Anchorage Alaska USA Date Reviewed: February 12, 2009 Strengths: The small positive air chamber (preload) is real easy to tune. Fork is really stiff for having 9mm drop-outs. Great small bump sensitivity while maintaining bottom out resistance. Having a large open bath oil system, it even works moderately well in COLD (like 0-15F) temperatures, taking the hit out of most the foot-ice-hole chatter and drops 3-4ft tall. In Summer its handled 15+ foot drops to transitions and normal dirt jump style doubles, as well as muddy root infested downhills. Weaknesses: Does weigh 6.2 POUNDS, that is where you save the $, the rest of the forks features are solid and work perfectly. Some of the 08 models DID ship without having one of the lower (ports?valves?) drilled in the damper. After riding for about 60 days I noticed the fork getting progressively stiffer. Mine was one of those, however since I purchased it Paramount, the shop tech there is an authorized Marzocchi mechanic and was able to service my fork for free (all labor etc.. under warranty). Total turn around time was aprox 3 days. Works PERFECT.

from bristol Date Reviewed: December 16, 2008 Strengths: Great all rounder forks,excelling in the 4x,freeride areas. They have showed tough as ive been riding my bike on downhill courses hitting all the big drops and also throwing them over bigjumps. Weaknesses: The bad thing about them is they are heavy and the canister in them has frozen up reducing movement costing £70 for a new one or you can drill whole in it to make it a singular bath system and then they work a treat. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: mendips Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: kona Similar Products Used: I have also used dirt jams and manitou and found these have been the best! Bike Setup: Maxxis highrollers 26'x2.7 dirt jumper twos white hope mini brakes FSA MegaExo bottom braket.
