Duration Product Used:
6 months
Purchased At:
OEM version
Strengths:
Brilliant Marzocchi Quality for a coil fork, seals are great and the action is always consitant. Much prefer this over a bottom end air fork
Weaknesses:
On the heavy side-but aren't all coil forks? Rebound isn't as effective as on other higher end forks
Similar Products Used:
RockShox Dart 2, Suntour XCM V2, RockShox Recon
Bike Setup:
Marin Hawk Hill-OEM at the moment.
Bottom Line:
Great value fork for budget cross country or all mountain riders. Would much prefer this over Darts. Very simililar ride as RockShox Recons with only a marginal weight difference in comparison to the price.

Bottom Line:
Actually an MZ Race fork but it's pretty much the same. I got it cheap and so far it's been good. I'm Keeping my finger crossed because the last Marzocchi I had the factory did not honor their warranty when it began to leak air.
