a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: January 11, 2013 Strengths: Cheap. Weaknesses: After the first summer on the trails, the fork utterly locked out on me. I removed all the pressure from the fork and still nothing, they wouldn't budge. I put some pressure back in them and rode the last trail of the trip with completely rigid forks. Sucked!! I got them repaired under the warranty, (an absolute faff from the supplier, (not Marzocchi, I might add)) but another year later and they are steadily getting worse. I have to keep reducing the PSI in the forks; I am currently running them at 50 PSI and getting about 2" travel. Shocking. I am taking them in for a service in the next week or two, then I'll probably start looking for a different fork. Bottom Line:

from Western North Carolina Date Reviewed: September 1, 2010 Strengths: Lots of good smooth travel when it works. Weaknesses: After 1 year and about 300 miles the fork crapped out. My bike spent 2 months of prime riding weather hanging in the LBS while Marzocchi took their dear sweet time rebuilding it. Still not as good as it was in the beginning.

from Denver, NC, USA Date Reviewed: September 26, 2009 Strengths: Major upgrade from Rock Shox Pilot. Tubes are 30% larger and seals are much better, the whole thing is much sturdier. Absorbs hits pretty well. The label on the fork says XC only and this holds true for me. The XC600 takes some pretty good hits considering. Eastern Trails are made of roots as is well known. A good test of a fork here is plowing downhill in the woods across millions of these roots. If you can make it down the hill at full speed and not fly over the bars or bounce off the trial, you're doing great. Amazingly this fork works well for that. It takes some practice to set it up correctly so I carry a shock pump with me to adjust the fork depending on what trail I am on. Weaknesses: There is about 10mm of sag that won't let the fork extend all the way even with 50 psi. I believe the fork oil is too thin. When adjusting the air pressure some oil leaks out of the valve. The so called lock out lever does not have sufficient notches to hold the lever in intermediate positions. But I always ride it unlocked anyway so it doesn't bother me too much.

from So Cal Date Reviewed: May 26, 2009 Strengths: For a XC fork, it's well built. Having to replace my original fork, the price point was a steal. I chose the 120mm version, and it drastically improved the handling. Weaknesses: Selector switch needs a more defined detent when selecting ride setting. You can hardly feel the selector, plus moves too easily if bumped while riding. I have bascially decided it's either locked or unlocked.

from hamilton nj us Date Reviewed: December 2, 2008 Strengths: Lightweight, Very plush, rebound has many points of adjustment, little flex. Weaknesses: Hydrolocks at 129mm, blows through travel too easily, too much oil from factory, I am 250 lbs when geared: I have to run 65 lbs in the air chamber to keep proper sag. but the second i stand the shock almost bottoms out. to fix this i would have to run over 73 lbs and i think that would blow the chamber. another solution I found was to run the tst one click in.
