Strengths: Lateral stiffnessWeaknesses: blown seals and air chamberBottom Line: I have used MZ shocks for 12 years with great results, and no problems all of previous MZ forks made in Italy. This one made in China,this fork is not up to standards. TST2 quit after 2 mounths, not fork will not hohd air and is leaking oil. Do not buy this fork.

Strengths: Rigidity, Travel, PriceWeaknesses: Lockout stops after 3 months.Bottom Line: Well. I can't really bad mouth this fork. For me, it has worked pretty well. Good travel, no stiction, stiff, good price. The lockout did cease to exist after 3 months. The problem is my buddy's fork. He bought it 1 month after me, and less than a year later, his blows oil out of the air chamber side and loses air completely after a ride. From what I am told by others AND professionals who know, the TST cartridge is not a very good offering either. It even looks like Marzocchi has moved away from it altogether. I would say look into another fork as it's gonna be 130$ for my buddy and I to get the forks up to snuff again. (that's 130 each)
But, after a year, I guess a tune up is in order anyways. Right?

Strengths: Super strong, plush smooth travel, stiff cornering , easy to adjust and one of the better looking graphics for Marz.Weaknesses: A little heavy, sticky in the first inch of travel, but you can not feel this while riding.Bottom Line: At first I did not Like this fork. Seemed the oil to air pre-load was off and you had to put to much air in it. But once when you find that sweet spot of Air(which mine is about 39lbs) this shock is great. Marzocchi customer support was great in answering any questions I had. I couldn't be happier with this fork on a stock bike and I will probably ride it til it dies.

Strengths: Super plush on everything including 6' drops, lockout works great - no stupid 2' drop when locked out, razor sharp steering - no flex whatsoever, easy to tune. Gets a full 160MM travel as advertised.Weaknesses: Coil spring maybe a tad soft for big guys - I am 180 lbs. and have to add 20 lbs. to air asist to get the proper sag.Bottom Line: This is one of the plushest forks I ever tried and the blowout price at Jensen was fantastic. Also an OEM fork and is all black which is much cooler looking than lame white forks. Goes perfect with the Nomad.

Strengths: Beefy; easy controlsWeaknesses: Wished it had SAG markings on stachion tubeBottom Line: If you need beef and not soy beans made to look like beef with great features then this is your fork. When dialed in it eats up whatever gets in the way. The controls are easy to use and the 20mm thru axle is stiff for hard cornering. I keep my fork at 185-190 lbs. psi for stiffness and roughly 30% SAG. Rebound can be set like most modern day shocks to acommodate your style of ride and terrain. I love Marzocchi forks bottom line. So far no issues. Try one and enjoy a nice ride.

Strengths: Stiff and plush where you want it. Feels lighter than 5.9lbs and doesn't fade even on the 10 mile back DH section with NV rocks! The air spring feels great!Weaknesses: Only weakness is heaver guys will need to swap out oil to something heaver.Bottom Line: This is one of the best all around forks to come out in a long time. 6 month ago I took out of the box, pumped it up and just keep it clean after rides and it has been a blast to ride. I look for the worst line and this thing gobbles it up.
