from Butler, Pennyslvania, USADate Reviewed: April 26, 2010
Strengths: Light weightWeaknesses: Very sticky, difficult to setup, quite flexyBottom Line: I was looking for a light fork for my hard tail build and this one was quite appealing at 3.72lb. The feel however negates any weight savings you hoped for. I've put plenty of miles on it, dialed it in precisely for my riding and weight and its super sticky, not plush and flexy enough to scare me a few times it was going to clean break off.

Strengths: Incredibly adjustable -TST Micro is excellent-, ATA is a great thing to have when you live and ride in a country where MTB means 2 things: Climbing hell hard and descending hell fast.
Lighter than TALAS.
Strong, durable construction. Laterally stiff. Very responsive, sensitive and yet progressive fork.Weaknesses: Decals are ugly. Marzocchi should fire every one @ Its graphic department, they suck.
Paint job is not the best.
ATA should be a 5 clicks system, not 36.
ATA knob tends to turn a few clicks back after a long hard ride, but redesigned '09 knobs solve the problem. I got 1 for free from the Costa Rican dealer, and all I needed to do was asking.Bottom Line: I totally disagree with the previous reviews on this product.
I've been ridding MTBs for 15 years now. In these years I've owned and tested several other suspension forks, and I can certainly say that this is the best for I've ridden. I DO LOVE IT!
It's been 6 months of nothing but great rides.
Just I case someone from Marzocchi read this: Only one thing to improve, make ATA a 5 clicks system (100mm, 110mm, 120mm, 130mm and 140mm).

Strengths: white!!! the color is awesome!!
140 mm travel,marzocchi nameWeaknesses: cost for value,the ata dosent work the tst 2 winds closed so the fork ends up at 120mm constantly, had to put a plastic tie to hold it still, ended up loosening the air chamber up and leaked out the fluid.Bottom Line: customer service at marzocchi is good, sent off forks to fix the air seal and wind down issues, still havent got the forks yet, been about 3 weeks.

Strengths: Light for an adjustable 130mm forkWeaknesses: 1) With full 130mm travel this fork is stupidly flexy (I weigh 80kgs)
2) Impossible to set up to get anything close tot he suppleness of a Fox or RS Revelation
3) Air Pressures are hard to balance
4) Lost TST Micros adjustment knob after 2 rides. Cost £10 to replace after 3 weeksBottom Line: Had this fork 3 months. Basically regrett every buying it. Paid £350 for it so wasn't too bad. Performance is NO WHERE near that of a Talas RLC or a RS Revelation.
Its been returned twice already. You set air pressure in the bottom scgrader, then when attaching shock pump to top schrader, it shows same pressure. Cartridge for ATA simply fails !?1 Happended twice. Then it simply stopped reaching full travel on a weekend in wales.
To be fair, Customer Serice is very good, however I think that may partly be due to the fact they realise the reliability of this fork is poor.
Also if you are after a stiff fork, then this is bad, even worse than a Fox Talas. With the 140mm full travel it feels bendy !!
Get a REVELATION !!!!!

Strengths: good stifness, look nice, very lite, good compression on turns.Weaknesses: lowers while riding,losses oil after a while. lose cartridge (makes sounds).Bottom Line: this fork suppose to be at the highest level.
it holds very well turns at good stifness. trails it takes easy. when it needs to work on bumps or stones it's not acurate. you hear noises from the fork,it becomes not so smooth and it rebounds by steps.
marzzuchi needs to fix those problems.
