Date Reviewed: May 4, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Costa da Lagoa | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Purchased At: | OEM | | Strengths: | Strong, stiff, works well. | | Weaknesses: | I would say the air valves make the fork very hard, but the solution is very simple: leave them empty. | | Similar Products Used: | Monster 2001, Monster 2002, Monster 2003, Junior T 2004, Z1 2001. | | Bike Setup: | UMF Freddy 185 mm DHX rear travel, Hayes, Saint. | | Bottom Line: | It is a good fork for free ride, aggressive all mountain (in my old times it was trail) and uncompromised DH. Forget the air valves and leave the coils make their job.
It is a very strong fork, works properly and is the more affordable Marzocchi for FR/DH. | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: October 28, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Strengths: | Very Plush, Looks Good | | Weaknesses: | None So Far, But It Does Seem Like The inner spring is getting weaker every day....It seems more plush everytime i push down on it...maybe i'm just working it in... | | Similar Products Used: | Marzocchi Drop Off Triple, White Brothers DH Pro, Some Custom Avalanche Fork... | | Bike Setup: | Stock 2007 Norco Atomik | | Bottom Line: | This Fork Is Great For Entry-Level DHers And Freeriders...
If You Hit everything with style trying to take as little damage as possible, this is the fork for you, but if you just hit everything without caring landing on curb corners and edges of rocks, this probably wont work for you... | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: September 3, 2007 | | Duration Product Used: | 6 months | | Price Paid: |
$400.00 | | Purchased At: | independent bike store | | Strengths: | Smooooooooooooth fork.
Soaks up the bumps small and large really well. | | Weaknesses: | Rebound knob could use some definitive markers.
You just twist and twist and twist until it stops.
Hard to fine tune it with guess work.
Single bolts for the QR20 seems kinda flimsy | | Similar Products Used: | Marzocchi 888
| | Bike Setup: | 06 Brodie Thumper
Marzocchi Metal R rear shock
26" up front, 24" in the back | | Bottom Line: | For $400 I can't complain at all.
Almost the same performance as a 888 at a fraction of the price | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$550.00 | | Purchased At: | cyclesport | | Strengths: | afordable , not to heavy , rebound-compresion , and dual progresive air | | Weaknesses: | simgle bolts on axle clamp , would like to see dual bolts | | Similar Products Used: | sherman , minute 3 , RS duke XC | | Bike Setup: | bighit04 ,swinger3 , haloSaS , X0 , E3 , BB7 | | Bottom Line: | this fork roks
the manual is slim info abought the air , there two air valves on top , and doesnt really explain the set up
, i played with different air presures and found that 10 psi in both chambers works for me ( im 190lbs) the rebound and compresion are easy to adjust and are not "on , off" like manip00 there very progressive alowing you to set this bad boy just right :)
this is a sick fork for only 550$ and 185 travel is more then enough for even seriouse drops.
i wouldnt be suprised to see this fork as fork of the year , BY it you will not be disapointed :) :) | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: December 31, 2006 | | Favoriate Trail: | whistler | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$400.00 | | Purchased At: | Marzocchi Dealer | | Strengths: | The Super T is a very strong fork its very rigid. The 185mm of travel are very smooth all the way down. It has a very good sensitivity to small and medium bumps and can absorb pretty well some drops. Incredible adjustability and options for paid price. Goog fork. | | Weaknesses: | the only weakness is that from factory is came with a very soft spring and more than once I bottomed it. A few more mm of travel would be nice. | | Similar Products Used: | manitou kingpin, rock shox boxxer, | | Bike Setup: | Stock Iron Horse Yakuza | | Bottom Line: | The fork is very good in the bottom line its very stron and the travel is very smooth but it has too soft springs and some more travel would be nice although I could buy an triple eight but I would need to spend three times as much money to afford 15mm more of travel! | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
