If you keep up on the maintenance, this fork will perform well.
To the guys who slag this fork, remember, it is a CROSS COUNTRY fork, not some 5 pound freeride monster, if you really thrash on it, it will probably break.
If you want a GOOD xc air/oil fork, buy the XCR, it has the same internals as the 600 series, but is not as expensive.
I am 6', 200 pounds, and yes, I can bottom this fork, if I jump my bike off of the loading dock at work.
If you are large like me, try increasing the oil level by 2-4 mm and running about 40 LB of air pressure.
Also, product suport was very good, they replaced my crown for free even though it was not part of the recall. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Damping adjusters didn't seem to have an effect though.
They are very flexy but you get used to it. I have blown the oil seals twice and broken the crown bolts twice, so don't use them for hardcore riding. Also check the brake bridge bolts, they work loose. I weighed them in at 3.3lbs, so they are the "poor" XC rider's dream. Windwave's fork service is amazing, they changed all the seals and broken bolts as well for £30 and I got it back in 3 days. Spring upgrade £18, well worth it. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

I bought my XCR about a year ago. This is an excellent fork, no question. I was going to buy a Quadra 21r to replace the Quadra 5 catastrophe that came with my bike but my BSG suggested I try the air oil XCR. I was kind of reluctant at first but when he said that if I didn't like it he would switch it for the Rock Shox plus the difference I said what the hell. I never did go back. Fact is, the XCR costs about a third less than the Quadra 21r and outperforms it in the bargain. It's got a pretty plush feel which makes me forgive it's admittedly limited 2 inches of travel. But for X country how much more travel do you really need?I was suprised the fork has held up so well. I am a 200lb. plus rider and consider myself to be fairly agressive. I can't detect any of this flex everyone keeps talking about. I have tried out some other forks on my buddies' bikes, including the Judy SL and I feel they are about the same for rigidity. So I think it's important to say at this point that as far as MTBing goes there is definitely stuff that works and stuff that doesn't. Why pay four or five hundred bucks for a minor increase in performance? Unless you've got Bill Gates' bank account it just doesn't make sense. Ther's been a lot of hype about the new Indys and they are a good fork but they cost more and still have that rubber ball feel which I hate, having put up with it for too long on my Q5.
Looking at the manual, servicing looks kind of complex but it's nothing the average joe can't handle. I haven't even serviced it yet and performance is still about as good as when I first got it except for a small amount of stiction. The seals on this fork also work extremely well. I have heard horror stories about blown seals and/or cartridges on other forks but have never encountered that problem with the XCR. Another plus is Marzocchi's 2 year warranty. The only thing I hate on this fork is the stupid cam brake adjuster on the brake arch. What a Martain nutcracker! Would I buy MArzocchi at some point in the future for the dualie I plan to get? Absolutely. | | Overall Rating: |

Its probably the V-brakes putting too much stress on the fork. If you use V-brakes with this fork and find your brakes to be howling, get a brake beefer.

These forks came standard on my 1995 Kona Sex One,
PROS: They only have a small amount of initial stiction, but when you get get going they are extremely plush, they are easy to service, and you don't have to weight the front of the bike to activate them over stutters (unlike some other forks I have ridden).
CONS: Over bumps they deflect back quite a bit, the bolts in the crown have been suffereing chronic breakage and are able to work them selves out after a day or two of hard riding. The legs twist a bit, and I think this caused me to break a couple of bolts in the crown. It is fairly pointless to set sag up with the XCR's as this means that there is not enough travel left for the real bumps.Very plush, but I have probably worn out the LBS's easy out with all the broken bolts.
If I was in the weekend warrior category I would be extremely pleased, but since I have started DH racing, they can't hack it. I am going into the market for some more serious DH forks now. | | Overall Rating: |

Nice and basic review.
GOOD STUFF: Super plush; works amazing on both big and small hits; I never serviced it once during a whole season of racing; light weight; tons of adjustability for both compression and rebound; and looks sweet to boot.
BAD STUFF: I never bottomed it once over the summer, so I measured my travel with the ol' zip-tie method and I found I was only getting 1.8 inches of travle instead of the stock 2, so adjustment can be frustrating; fork boots occasionally slip down the slider legs so use zip-ties to keep the grunge out; and flex-city if you're big like me (6'3, 190 lbs.) in hard corners and when standing up and hammering on the bar-ends.

I'm afraid I'm dissapointed... I have some XCR's, made in 94, on my Kona SEX Too.The forks are unsensitive (i.e. not plush) and the compression damping is ineffective and rebound damping non-existent. If you run the recomended 51psi then they bearly move at all ( I weigh 12 stone).
Now they are pissing oil. I can't get hold of a long enough allen key to reach the bottom retaing screw and the recommended oil costs an arm and a leg as did the £16 seals...!
Oh yes and they flex loads too. But I've eventually got used to that, and as long as you have long handelbars you can wrench the front wheel straight. But other more rigid forks are better by far. Verdict: Not good for cross country, and presumably insufficent travel for downhill, as well as too much torsional flex...! But better than rigid forks..!
P.S. My rear shock which is also Marzocchi (which was faulty...but replaced quickly and free of charge..! )is a load of bollocks too.
I hope these new Bombers are as good as people say. But I'll never go near Marzocchi again. | | Overall Rating: |

I bought my XCR almost two years ago when I was just starting out and it has consistantly done the job through my racing year. The XCR is an excellent fork for the money. I have found the Air-Oil action to be nothing less than smooth and supple as well as totally adjustable no matter how you ride or how heavy you are. This fork feels lighter than its RS counterpart and has better movement ans less stiction that all but the Judys. I read an article in a magizine that said that the XCR was noticable stiffer than the MAG-21. However, I have experienced the sqeaking that Dave said (Just oil running through the valves I think) but it dosn't detract from the performance too much. Sure, you could buy one of those fancy yellow forks and get all kinds of Oohs and Ahhs, or you could just buy an XCR and fly by him on the trails with a pocket full of cash. I have to admit, I caved in and I am going to buy a new fork, but rest assure it's going to have the Marzocchi name on it. Bombs Away! | | Overall Rating: |

The Marazochi XCR suspension fork is an air oil unit unlike the more common elastomer sprung units. Air oil suspension forks are normally associated with stiction, high maintenance and complexity. I have suffered from none of these problems. Stiction is low, and by oiling the stanchions, I have found that I can be reduced to almost nothing. In the 4 months I have had it, I have found no need to carry out any routine maintenance. As for complexity, I dare say an annual oil change & re-build will be complex, but so is re building a wheel. I can learn to do that like anything else, or get my LBS to do it.
As it is an air oil unit, it is adjustable and very plush. It has a short travel (51mm) by modern standards, But you don’t notice it on the trail.. Air can be added or removed to change the spring rate, though you can’t use an ordinary pump, and no special pump was supplied. There are adjusting knobs on the legs which adjust the damping instantly. The principal disadvantage with it’s air/oil nature is it does not like being turned upside down. Not just inverting the bike to sort out the drive train, but laying the bike on it’s side when you take a rest from riding, or even lifting the bike onto it’s back wheel to get it through a confined space. When you try to use it again, the suspension is very squeaky and less push, The manual recommends it be left to stand for half an hour, But I have found that riding it with damping on minimum for about 10 minute does the trick.
It is also said that Marazochi sus forks are flexy. I have found this is true, unlike more expensive, stiffer forks, a suspension hub is necessary. Without a brake booster, the brake pivots flex by about 3-4 mm. But brake boosters are not expensive. he brakes are by a cam, which was a pain to set up, but work well.
Overall, I would say this a good entry level fork and very plush, but is let down by it’s flexy nature. If you can afford to, I suggest you go upmarket, maybe a Bommer would be a good choice, or a Pace?
I am reliably informed that the only difference between this fork and a normal XCR is the yellow paint.

I just pulled my Marzocchi XCR off my Kona Kilauea. I'm 225lbs,ride rough,
rocky trails (yes there are rocks in NJ,steep decents too).The fork was
under dampened and tended to flop to one side or the other when hitting
bumps (see Eric from Seattle's review).The dampening problem could be worked
on if I could find the 30wt fork oil (spectro) that Marzocchi Tech recomends
but the flop is a different matter.Marzocchi uses a off set fork crown to
get trail.This gives leverage to the bump and causes the bars to want twist,
you can't develope confidence in your bike under these conditions.I switched
to a Mag-21,no off set.What a differance,now I can smoke through sections
that were white knuckle before.And I got that Kona handling I payed for.
The Marzocchi is well made,simple to work on,and not a bad choice for a
light rider looking for a first fork,But with Mag 21 prices dropping like
rocks you bigger riders might want to look else where.

After trashing my Rock Shox Quadra, I decided to get the Marzocchi XCR after seeing how well the XC51 performed for the given price.
The XCR is a super fork and with the added stiffness and the addition of the damping knobs (6 clicks), you can't beat it. I used it in XC and DH and by changing the pressure and the damping, it's a super fork if you're not racing.
Servicing the fork is also VERY EASY. Any beginner with a few tools can change the oil. I would recommend putting fork boots on the fork right away to prolong the life of the seals. | | Overall Rating: |

This fork came stock on my 95 Kona Kilauea. I considered swapping it for a Halson Inversion when the bike was being built up, but decided to wait and see. The fork worked fine in most situations, but the legs got really flexy on technical downhill singletrack. I found myself getting freaked out - it felt as though something was always about to give, and rather than giving me more confidence in sketchy sections I was actually more hesitant. I'm ~180 lbs, which doesn't make me a lightweight, but I was surprised that I had to chase the front end around to keep the bike in control.
Well, a few months later I bought a Judy SL - the fork I should have had all along. Way stiffer, way plusher, lighter, way simpler to adjust, and the thing tracks great on the twisty stuff. When you compare the difference in performance, the price premium for an SL over a fork isn't that big. The Marzocchi retailed for about $275 - SL's run ~$425-450 mail thru mailorder. Money well spent... | | Overall Rating: |

I recently had the XRC installed on my KONA Kilauea. Originally, I was set to
purchase a 21R, but my LBS convinced me that the XRC would be a better ride
and more tuneable. After having owned a Manitou product, I do enjoy the ride -
it is very smooth, progressive, and the rebound is not harsh or spring-like. I
was cautioned that set-up is key with any Marzocchi shock - if not done properly,
it will feel like any other shock out there. My riding style is certainly finesse -
I don't break anything, but I did need something to soften up the ride on a very
rigid hardtail. I run the damping on the lowest setting, and I haven't bottomed
the fork out yet (I weigh 160 pounds).
My recommendation - if you can find a dealer who knows how to set these forks up
properly, give them a good test ride - you'll appreciate the difference between
elastomers and a good air/oil fork.
