Strengths: Smooth, buttery, very little if any stiction, once rebuilt with the wiper inside removed and filled with Golden Spectro 7.5w fork oil.Weaknesses: Will probably need annual oil change services. Weight is around 5 pounds, but it is oil dampened and oh so buttery.Bottom Line: Running 68 psi, fork is quite simple to adjust dampening and compression. Way more smooth than a Manitou Minute, much, much less stiction, less shock gets to your wrists and forearms, less soon to cramp on rocks, roots, drops, etc. Superior to most air forks out there. The only thing I've ever ridden better on my WFO would be a very, very expensive Manitou Dorado, and that's at 8x the price, and it's a professional downhill model fork, true coil and oil.
If you don't feel comfortable working on it yourself, send it in to Marzocchi in Valencia, CA, and have Ronnie service it and do it up right for a nominal fee. Well worth it, you know it will be done right this way.

Strengths: Plush travel and easy adjustment from 120mm to 140mm.Weaknesses: None so far.Bottom Line: I was a bit skeptical about this Marzocchi fork as it was such a good price for what they were advertising. I can tell you I am a believer now. I ride rocky terrain and tight switchback trails with lots of roots and I can say it rides as close to my Fox that I paid over double the price. This is well worth the money to get a great all around fork for the tough terrain. Easy to adjust and the 15QR adds to the stiffness in the front. I plan on buying a 26" version for my wife's K-2 Summitt full suspension.
