    Date Reviewed: July 1, 2008
    Favoriate Trail:Nail can hill
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Price Paid: $260.00
    Purchased At:Jenson USA
    Strengths:Very good looking forks. Adjustability is good.
    Weaknesses:The TST2. The TST2 blew out while I was in a XC race. I only weigh 72kg and the bump that blew them was not that big.
    Similar Products Used:MZ pro, Tora 318, Static Stance etc
    Bike Setup:Jamis Dakar
    Bottom Line:I love Marzocchi products and was disappointed when the TST blew out. I have contacted Jenson USA and they are going to repair the forks under warrany; however, I live in Australia and I have to pay for them to be shipped to and from Jenson USA. I have also contacted Marzocchi and I am still waiting on a reply. I will proberly replace the TST myself as it will be cheaper and take less time. I comment again after I hear from Marzocchi.

    Submitted by Chris a Racer from Raleigh, NC
    Date Reviewed: September 10, 2007
    Duration Product Used:6 months
    Price Paid: $650.00
    Purchased At:LBS
    Strengths:Looks sexy, light-weight, ease of adjustment
    Weaknesses:TST cartridge is unreliable-had to service after the first 3 months of use (approx 300 mi. Rebound cartridge just broke 4 months after the first service. Proprietary valve adapter is so ridiculous-you lose it you're screwed-probably some marketing gimmick. Factory oil results in a pretty stiff ride; not as plush as some other competitors. Wasn't too impressed with the ETA/ATA system
    Similar Products Used:Fox F100R, Fox F100RL, Fox F100RLC, Magura Menja 85mm
    Bike Setup:SS XC
    Bottom Line:Didn't care for it. I'm 6'2" 170-180lbs. I don't huck the thing, just aggressive XC riding/racing. I checked the air pressure at the regular intervals, and inspected for leaking. This fork just didn't have it, rebound should be renamed "recoil". TST2/5 system is cool when it works right. This is one of those situations where looking back, I wouldn't have made the purchase.

    Date Reviewed: March 21, 2007
    Favoriate Trail:All South Mountain
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Price Paid: $450.00
    Purchased At:Cactus Bike
    Strengths:Somewhat light for a sprung fork, not sure I will ever use all the adjustments that are posible on it.
    Weaknesses:I will work them out, so far it is bad to the bone!
    Similar Products Used:Marzocchi M1, Judy with lots O mods
    Bike Setup:Custom wheels, 17.5 hard tail, mytho rear and kenda front
    Bottom Line:This is a sweet fork, the anti bottom out mechanism really works. I like to jump and ride XC so we will see how she does. This is one of the better looking forks I have owned, I also put a front disc on with the new fork, I also really love the squishy feel.
