$21.00 | | Purchased At: | Marzocchi Factory | | Strengths: | 2.3 profile, Amazing cornering | | Weaknesses: | Seems to wear a little faster than i would like due to the super soft compound used | | Similar Products Used: | Hutchinson Phythons, WTB Velociraptors | | Bike Setup: | 2007 DB Coil EX, X-7 Drivetrain, Husselfelt Crank, Marzocchi AM2, 5th Element rear shock, Juicy 5 in the front, Juicy 7 in the rear | | Bottom Line: | For the money, this really is a great buy. This is my first "wide" tire and I can tell a world of difference in my cornering, switchbacks and DH bombs. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$19.00 | | Purchased At: | Sunset | | Strengths: | Looks, weight. | | Weaknesses: | Mud, lose soil, rocks. | | Similar Products Used: | Too many to list | | Bike Setup: | Orange Sub-Zero and Patriot with the usual Hope, Saint, Raceface.................. | | Bottom Line: | These tires are pretty poor. They do not clear in the mud due to the stupid 'M' design tread nobs, therefore are useless in wet mud. They do not lean over well and tend to wash out in the corners. They do offer a reasonable weight for a 2.3 width tire and roll quite well. I think these are produced in conjunction with Nokia (whose tires I normally like) so dont know where they have gone wrong. Possibly they put more research into the look of the 'M' design tread than the compound, I dont know!!!
Bottom line: Just a poor performance tire, Marzocchi should stick to making great forks. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |
