| Strengths: | PLUSH!!!! Stiff. And easy to work on. The adjustments are also helpful in getting it setup to your EXACT liking. A+ |
| Weaknesses: | None |
| Similar Products Tried: | Marz 66 |
| Bike Setup: | Sinister R9, 888 RC2x, K24 |
| Bottom Line: | I am very pleased with the performance of this fork. It is very adjustable and simple to maintain. Its ability to take the large hits and soak up the small trail chatter are very nice to say the least. I just wish the '08 stuff was as reliable. So, for now the RC2x is staying put. |

| Strengths: | Buttery smooth. Small bump damping is top notch while big hit/drop bottom out works great as well. Best of both worlds. Ease of service. |
| Weaknesses: | None really, the adjuster on the bottom of the fork hangs out there a little to much for rock banging. When I first installed the fork it had stickshion at beginning of movement. I sent it out to Marazocci they did the works and it is and has been perfect. |
| Similar Products Tried: | 2006 marz 66rc2, 2002 marz super T, 2001 z1 drop off, 2005 Fox 36 rc2 talas, 2005 Fox 36 rc2 vanilla. |
| Bike Setup: | 2006 Demo8, dhx5.0, formula bianco, dt5.1D/Chris King, Michlen dh 23, Race face diaobolus, e13, |
| Bottom Line: | This fork right out the box was not right in my opinion. I sent it in to have the works done. The staff at Marazocchi was great to deal with and they did a outstanding job fixing exactly what I thought was wrong. I could not be more pleased with the performance of the fork now, It tracks straight all the time weather it is marbles, golf-ball, baby-heads, or boulders. Does not bottom out on 10-15 foot drops to transition. The fork is easy to work on. |
