from st. louis, mo USA Date Reviewed: May 11, 2011 Strengths: very plush, tst feature makes climbing easier, although i mostly have it on the AM setting. very responsive shock Weaknesses: apparently the knock or clunk mid-stroke is a common thing. just rebuilt mine and it still does it. i have also been told (not by marzocchi) that it was designed to be a user-serviceable shock. while my rebuild went smoothly, it is a pretty complex shock once its opened up, so i'd send it off for a rebuild Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: the ones i build Duration Product Used: 2 Years Purchased At: came on my bike - eb Similar Products Used: none. first full squish bike Bike Setup: kona coilair supreme with 2008 roco tst-r, 7.875x2.25 and a 550# spring

from Canada Date Reviewed: April 14, 2011 Strengths: Seemed to be solid... Then out of the blue started acting up. Seems to be common problem... Marz would be wise to fix this... They are not the only player in the game anymore.. Weaknesses: Rebound control... After about 2 years or 3-5 days/yr on a hill, it started clicking at the rebound knob. Tried switching it out to a DHX4 but leverage angles on my Stinky D made it too close to set proper sag. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Dirt Merchant Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $1400.00 Purchased At: Kona Factory Frame Similar Products Used: None... Hardtail Pride... Bike Setup: 08 Stinky D, Hadley, Deity bar/Stem/Seat/Grips, E13 chain, 07 888, x9, atomlabs rims and a Hone Crank.

from Canberra, Australia Date Reviewed: April 10, 2011 Strengths: Machining, anodizing and design look nice. Plush compression. Weaknesses: Leaks Oil like incontinent old person. Decals are cheap and bubbling from the constant oil sheen. Knobs are cheap feeling and don't click positively. Knocks between compression and rebound strokes as others have said. Rebound range too slow. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 2 Years

from Marburg DE Date Reviewed: August 17, 2010 Strengths: works well uphill and downhill, supposedly easy to DIY-service, easy setup, (red anodized piggyback) Weaknesses: knocking sound that reminds me of loose mounts but which it isn´t, effectively has only two distinct compression settings (full open/ almost lockout), but that´s probably all most riders would need Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $400.00 Similar Products Used: RP23, EX200 Bike Setup: Helius FR with Lyrik, Hope M4, Pro2/Flows, i950, Hammerschmidt AM

from Kelowna, bc Date Reviewed: July 16, 2009 Strengths: Climb Setting to reduce bob Weaknesses: Not fast enough. I have rebound all the way off and it just right but all other shocks I have at least a few clicks of rebound on. I would like the option to speed it up for fast bumpy dh runs. The shock "knocks" while changing from rebound to compress. I have spoken to 5 other riders that have this noise on theirs. The shock has been back to marz twice and still same noise. It sounds as if the shock mount is loose. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Similar Products Used: fox dhx3,4,and 5, Roco WC Air. Bike Setup: marin quake (6.7"), 400lb Ti Spring (also tried a 400lb steel and 350lb steel coil), 66rc2x, elixir CR, 721/sun wheelset. 40lb build.

from Whitefish, MT 59937 Date Reviewed: January 17, 2009 Strengths: The TST lockout. Great for climbing but knob leaks oil. if the shock functioned it would perfect, some of the features are very cool, but it is constantly leaking oil, even after service and you have to pay to ship i back yee haa. Weaknesses: Every fitting is leaking oil and i have yet to hit any thing over 4 feet. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Mcguire Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $400.00 Purchased At: online Similar Products Used: Fox DHX 4.0. GO WITH FOX! and no i dont work for fox. but i love to bike and when i spend 400 dollars on a shock i want it to perform. Fox performs, marzocchi leaks. Bike Setup: 08 Reign X, FOX Talas RC2(superb), Roco TST R (a joke), Easton Havocs (Nice wheels)
