Description:The Z.1 freeride series represents the pinnacle in long travel single crown design. The first Z.1, introduced in 1996, started the freeride movement by allowing riders to perform beyond their previous capabilities which were hampered by poorly performing products. The new Z.1 is made for riders who still love the up hill climbs as much as the downhill’s and allaround riding performance is the difference between a good ride and a great one. We feel that the new Z.1 freeride series unleashes performance demanded by today’s cutting edge riders.

$370.00 | | Purchased At: | the bike shop moreton | | Strengths: | light, strong, plenty of tyre clearance, v-brake mount | | Weaknesses: | springs are slightly too soft for me, but i weigh nearly 16 stone | | Similar Products Used: | marzocchi Z1 dropoff | | Bike Setup: | identiti dr jekyll, z1 wedge, 24seven suicide, blackspire, raceface north shore, wedge, atomlab aircorps | | Bottom Line: | brilliant budget fork. i ran a z1 dropoff for 1 year and it snapped, forcing me face first from 6 feet in the air into a rock. i got this a few weeks after, basically so i could get riding again. its now been going for 18 months with no trouble apart from rusty brake bosses coz i run discs and one of my mates robbed the v-mount protectors and threw them into a river coz i robbed his front wheel. Perfect for XC riders, jumpers, 4X, street. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$250.00 | | Purchased At: | www.thebikeshop.com | | Strengths: | Very high quality low maintenace forks easy to fit and setup to riding style. Very hard to bottom out! | | Weaknesses: | The forks are very soft and are a shock and at first but after a while i got used to them | | Bike Setup: | Dirt jump / Freeride | | Bottom Line: | In the end i think they are pretty damn good. I would recommend them to some one who wants a reliable pair of forks. I would also recommed them to someone who is quite lite because they're quite soft but as long as you don't weigh a lot you should be fine. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$220.00 | | Purchased At: | www.bikedock.com | | Strengths: | Never bottoms out, even when you do the big stuff. All the travel you will ever want (130mm). Its amazing at climbing and decending. You can even do an xc race with it, I've done it. | | Weaknesses: | you cannot ajust them easily | | Similar Products Used: | sr suntour 60 | | Bike Setup: | freeride/jump | | Bottom Line: | An amazing fork. You wont get any better for every type of riding xc, freeride, jumping. If you do any of these it's a fork you should should strongly consider. But this fork is not for people that ride on roads a lot. It would bounce a lot so you would lose speed. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Took a six foot drop off onto pavement, and it didn't even phase me. Eats up the big hits, and smooths out the rough stuff. Works great for climbing too. | | Weaknesses: | If I ever find one, I'll write another review | | Similar Products Used: | Rock Shox Judy | | Bike Setup: | Oryx Freak 250 | | Bottom Line: | This is the pimp dizzle. I've never had a lick of trouble with it. It is just like a gift that keeps on giving. Never looked back since I got it. If you have the chance to get one, definetaly check it out.

$320.00 | | Purchased At: | Merlin Cycles | | Strengths: | Extremely good value, great performance once bedded in, beefy looks, and their strength. Also the squishy sound of the oil! | | Weaknesses: | Internal preload is a hassle, so is travel adjustment; not that you really need to bother seeing as Marzocchi set them up amazingly well at the factory. | | Similar Products Used: | Manitou Six, RST 321, Marzocchi Z1 Drop off | | Bike Setup: | 16" GT Arrowhead | | Bottom Line: | Get them. Save about $250 over the Drop Offs and buy yourself some new wheels or an iPod. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
