    Strengths:This fork is very plush, yet strong. It is extremely smooth and I have never bottomed it out. Ive had it for a year and I havent had too many problems with it. I use it for light jumps/street and trails.
    Weaknesses:When I got the fork the bolts that hold the three piece legs were missing. The bolts cost $40 canadian at the local shop and I paid the same ammount for the fork. So I tapped my own threads and put in some stainless steel bolts. Big mistake. This weakend the legs and they flex like a leaf spring. Even with the proper bolts they were apperently still weak.
    Similar Products Used:mz-comp? exr-pro, dirt jam
    Bike Setup:Haro 8.1, basically stock
    Bottom Line:This fork is good and I recomend it. I need more info, but I would like to change the legs to some one piece legs if I can although I don't know for sure if this is possible.

    Bottom Line:Sweet fork. Does what you want it to, reacts with a memory type feeling and overall is worth what you pay for it. I Bought mine used through www.pinkbike.com, and FR/DH/M-Bike/BMX buy-sell site, and it has been my favorite ride so far.

    You can trust it when quickly turning to avoid falling off the edge of a ravine after hitting a 5 foot drop.

    Bike Setup:specailized vegas trx-24 with a cool profile racing blackjack ss chainring. When I forst bourght this fork, it was a home-modified Raleigh fargo
    Bottom Line:I bourght these about a year ago, and they worked properly for a week. About a month after I first got them, they made the worst noise ever. At first, I thourght it was my headset, but no. So I spent 70 quid on a woodman saturn to find out if it would stop. Then I got new bars and wheel. Still sounds like $#!+. Finally, I got the cool Specailized vegas trx-24, for a new frame. I was praying for the noise to go away. You have guessed it, still sounded like your mum (mom for you americans).
    Then, about a month ago (today is the 5th of may 04), I decided to swap to the rigid's that came with my frame. I took the wedges out of my frame, then tried to bash the headset off the steerer tube. But my steerer tube somehow busted, so it was a challange to get the headset off, and in order to get the correct angle to give it a few hits, I had to take the front wheel off. As I did, the whole thing twisted. I looked again, and the right dropout for the wheel had snapped. Bugger. So basically, this fork was death in another form. The only good point is that it did last to my standards for a year, and it was very smooth when ridden, as well as being fairly cheap. So all in all, more like a cross country fork than a freeride fork. Not to be ridden hard!

    Bottom Line:My first suspension fork. I bought it for intended XC, light freeriding and DH. I've used it for 1 year now and I should say that it really does its job well.

    Just keep your weight behind da saddle and trust this fork to get you down and up the ruts.

    No problems with drops to flat at 4-feet and below. No guts yet to try higher drops.
    I experienced oil leak when using v-breaks, it went away when i switch to disk brakes.

    Strengths:-dual coil (not to be underestimated)
    -stiff
    -strong
    -plush without wallowing
    -steers and tracks like a shark
    Weaknesses:-simplicity isn't always good (internal adjustments)
    -way undersprung when stock
    -travel is non adjustable
    -some issues with cryofit
    Similar Products Used:Most recent: '02 Psylo SL
    Bike Setup:Santa Cruz Bullit w/ 5th Element shock
    Bottom Line:I bought the fork used. It came with an extra heavy spring in one leg and a heavy spring in the other. It was set up with 15 wt oil. Perfect for me, a 210 pound rider who does a lot of hucking and long technical trail rides. I would have to agree with many of the guys who posted with the view that with the stock set up, this fork will blow. Also there have been some issues with Marzocchi's cryofit crown. My fork was warrantied before I bought it. The crown, stanchions and seals were replaced with the Marathon set up. Stiffer, stronger and lighter. Nice. But it's something to watch out for. One other issue is that all of the adjustments are internal. This isn't really a big deal, but if you like to fiddle a lot with dials, you'll be out of luck.

    But to write this fork off would be a mistake. Properly set up, the Z1 will perform at least as well as other long travel single crown forks costing much more. Don't believe it when someone tells you this is a "budget" fork. It's not. The Wedge is pretty much the same as a Z1 FR, just without the power windows. If performance is what matters to you, then this fork should be on your bike.

    Every time I ride this fork, I'm amazed. Laterally and torsionally stiff. Plush and responsive without wallowing around. Compared to the Psylo SL, which I was using before, this is definitely a leap forward. I still really like the Psylo, but it just isn't in the same league. The steering with the Wedge is very precise, and the fork tracks through corners without making you wonder how far it's going to dive. This is something about Bombers that I've always liked: predictability. One other thing worth mentioning here is that I've used a couple of Zokies in the past and I've never had an issue with them. If you set the fork up for your weight, then you shouldn't experience a failure.

    I've done a few jumps and some long technical trail rides with this fork and I'm looking forward to many more. Do the homework with the set up. It's not hard to do and it's well worth it. I'll post again in few weeks but so far, I'm giving this fork a big thumbs up.

    Strengths:- No Flex
    - Price ($170, a take-off fork deal)
    - Handles big hits with eazzzzze
    Weaknesses:- Not sensitive to small bumps
    - Oil level was low right out of the box. Better QC needed.
    Bike Setup:Giant AC with some nice new parts and some cheapass old spare parts layin' around
    Bottom Line:A good fork for messing around. The fork has no noticeable flex. I installed it on my Giant AC, which I use for XC and some peewee amatuer stair dropping. Takes 3 footers with ease and plush on drops. However the fork is not sensitive to small bumps on the trail for my regular riding. I have no problems climbing up hills, just stay seated and work on smooth peddling.
    The internal rebound adjustment is not a problem at all IMO. I never touch the adjustments on any fork once I tweaked it to my liking, so I don't think the internal adjustments are a big deal. I also consider internal adjustments a plus because you don't have to worry about external knobs and dial being damaged like on my old RS and Black forks.
    As a light rider (140 lbs), I had to switch out the stock springs for the soft springs. So light riders should factor another $30 into the price.
    I have no complaints.

    Weaknesses:May be a bit too soft, I suggest upgrading the standard 7.5 wt oil with the 10 wt.
    Similar Products Used:RST 381 TL
    Bottom Line:This is a really good fork for the money. Requires little maintence and performs quite well. I found that the stock 7.5 wt oil in this fork was too soft and bottomed on moderate sized drops so I upgraded to the 10 wt. I haven't had any problems with the Z1 wedge since.
    I would recommend upgrading the oil if you freeride much though. No matter if you freeride, or just enjoy aggresive cross country, or even a bit of downhill this fork will stand up to whatever you through at it. An overall amazing shock.

I now have a pair of Boxxers Race and they are mint. if you are into big drops too flat or even landing ramps/Jumps and quite a big rider than i would think again for these forks. Go for a Dirt Jumper 2003 or boxxers/JRT's.

"Wedge" means nothing. They're Z-1's. With the right oil, the right springs and the right settings, they're an exceptional shock absorber for the money.

    Bottom Line:So far it's been a great shock, I haven't run into any "breakage" at all with the shock, I check my disc mount regularly for any cracks, but none yet. I'm not a light rider, at 195 I'm above average weight and it has performed great. I do hate the fact though, that these fork companies stick these damned light springs in their forks, why can't you get a fork with the correct spring in the first place? It's just stupid.

    Any way, it's been a great fork for X-country, DH and Freeriding. I would definitely recommend this fork to others.
