Date Reviewed: December 15, 2006 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Strengths: | OK performance for a budget fork. | | Weaknesses: | Rebound too slow for general riding - ANY ADJUSTMENT OR SERVICING CAN ONLY BE CHANGED BY DEALER FOR £40!!! | | Similar Products Used: | Z2 Atom Race - Superb quality and fully servicable at home. | | Bottom Line: | DON'T BUY MARZOCCHI FORKS! Used to be excellent with full instructions for home servicing. Now, state that any servicing must be done by Marzocchi Service Centre (at a cost of £40 upwards) and they no longer give customer access to detailed service manuals. Furthermore, most adjustment is now internal with deliberately obscure tools! So much for a budget fork, which is going to cost you £100 per year on top of the purchase price! | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
