not too many, so far

There is an annoying knocking sound coming from the fork at the top of its travel- when you hit a bump, it rattles like a beater old pickup truck. It is very distracting on the downhills, and noticeable on the climbs. It has been rebuilt twice already by a good tech with guidance/input from the factory, and they can't get the rattle to go away. Bummer. Also, there is a sticky feel at the top of travel, but maybe it will break in a bit. Also, I weigh 150lbs. and am thinking that maybe I need a lighter spring, as the fork feels as plush as a 2x4... 6" ought to feel a bit nicer.

Not too stoked- Marzocchi says to either live with the rattle (are you kidding me? On a brand new $2500 mountain bike? Christ...) or send the fork in and they will look at it..? And not ride for how long? A work in progress, and I will update as this goes on. If you are considering the Rocky Slayer, get the 70 model with the Fox fork...

Fox Float RL, '05- way nice fork

It's BLACK and RED!! Super bad-ass! 32mm stanchions. Easy set up. The ETA is a treat. It feels strong. Marz is a great company making great, reliable product. I got this at a crash replacement price.

Bottom rebound cap fell off first ride. Kinda' dumb. A little sticky at the beginning of the stroke, might still be breaking in. A little thud at rebound, may need to tweak it some.

It's Marzocchi. Tough forks. The only reason I trashed a $700 fork prior, was I was doing stuff with it, it wasn't made to do. The All-Mtn.I or SL may be a little better ride, but I don't need that much travel, almost too many adjustments--I don't want to think about my fork that much--I want to ride. Plus, the II is $200 less. I wanted a 130mm, beefy fork, that I could believe in. I set the air for the riding I'll be doing, and I go. The ETA is wonderful, especially when your air is set light. It compresses, and you climb tight. Great thinking! It's BLACK and RED! Killer! This fork on my rig is a dream.
I reduce one pepper due to the lame turn cap that came off, and I hope the stickiness and clunk goes away. Otherwise, top notch.

Marathon SL--trashed it. Z2 X-Fly--sold it. Too many Manitou to count---never again!

Looks kinda cool, ETA lockdown ia amazing...Thats about it

Not plush atall, jerky feel. Went down a little drop and one of the top caps fell off. Really flexy aswell

Okay fork for xc (Maybe a little too much travel), Guess its a good price. Too jerky for any freeride in my opinion, definately not a fork to be used for jumping...

Stiffness, plush, absolutely beautiful, and of course its a Marzocchi

None, and don't expect any

This review is actually for Marzocchi's budget AM-2, not the All mountain-2 which is a much more exspensive( but even better I'm sure )fork. This fork shares the same chassis with its more exspensive brothers, but has less adjustability and cheaper internals, and is only 130mm. Don't let any of that fool you into thinking this isnt a great fork. It is still adjustable for compression, rebound and preload. This fork is very plush, and is amazingly stiff compared to the MXC that I had before, which is a pretty stiff little fork in it's own right. I have noticed that Marzocchi seems to be way off on their air pressure recomendations. I wiegh 230 and have my fork preload set at 30psi, which is about half as much air as they recommend for my wieght. I tried the fork at 50psi and it felt like a pogo stick. I know forks tend to have a different feel on a hardtail, than on full suspension, so maybe that is what's happening. Since this fork does not use open bath damping, it seems to make a little more noise, when moving through its travel, but who cares about that, right. This fork does what it is designed to do, and at a remarkable price. You also can't beat the all black stealth look.
