Date Reviewed: June 28, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Price Paid: |
$150.00 | | Purchased At: | Pricepoint | | Strengths: | Good amount of travel, relatively stiff when not bounding over rocks. Seems pretty tough on the few rides I've taken it on. Really good price for a nice 100mm coil shock. | | Weaknesses: | A little bit heavy (around 5 lbs), but it's not an air shock. Preload adjustment knob got stuck on a ride somehow, I was able to tap it back though. Had to order V-Brake bosses separately. | | Similar Products Used: | Suntour, RST stock forks, rigid. | | Bike Setup: | GT Saddleback, w/ MZ Supercomp, Panaracer XC tires, Shimano M520 clipless and some other stuff. | | Bottom Line: | This is a really nice fork if you're not ready or can't afford to spend $600+ on an air shock. It's relatively inexpensive, looks good, works well in XC conditions, and seems pretty durable.
Only complaints I have are the manual is pretty useless as it is written for every fork Marzocchi sells in every language imaginable, also I found it kind of irritating that I had to order V-brake bosses separately (make sure you order them with your fork as very few, if any, bike shops carry the ones needed for this fork). | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$149.00 | | Purchased At: | Price Point | | Strengths: | Smooth, preload and rebound adjust, looks nice on the bike,cheap. | | Weaknesses: | Real travel is approximately 80-85 mm, but probably it's too soon to tell, as I only used it for about 8 hours and still needs to break in. Also, I'm still playing with the adjustments so until I get it right... | | Similar Products Used: | Suntour XCM-destroyed it in less than 20 hours of use. | | Bike Setup: | 1X8 2008 Gian Rincon, SRAM Attack shifter, BB7's, Avid break levers, blackspire SS chainring, race face bashguard | | Bottom Line: | I cannot tell how it compares to a mid to top end fork, but compared to the fork that my bike came with...WOW...what a difference! I really use it for what it was made for, XC to aggressive XC, so it gets the job done. It has a buttery feel and it soaks up the medium and large bums with a lot of pleasure. I think for the price it's a good fork, although I keep on thinking how a $600-$800 fork feels like...but hey, I will not spend more for the fork than I spent for the bike! BTW-the fork in the photo above is not the MZ Supercomp (the MZ Supercomp has two adjustment knobs on top, one for rebound and one for preload). | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: March 17, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Road pavement | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$150.00 | | Purchased At: | Jenson | | Strengths: | Nice crown
Steel stanchions
Steel steer tube
Smooth operation except for initial stanchion sticking in boots every time bike sits for awhile.
Rebound adjustment knob works.
Preload knob | | Weaknesses: | Leading edge on dropout is in the shape of a V. Dropouts not as beefy as past models. Although the crown and lowers seem to be the same as 2008 mx pro lo. The disc brake support mounts are very beefy though. Some pedal bob if you stand and mash on the pedals, but using some control you can reduce that. V-brake boss/stud kit sold separately. | | Similar Products Used: | Rock shox indy | | Bike Setup: | Electric bike. | | Bottom Line: | Fork used for the road only. I got this to help me get through some bomb zone areas of pavement that caltrans refuses to fix. It was an improvement over my steel cromoly fork. It doesn't seem to work for small bumps but does work on the medium ones and larger. If you weigh about 175 lbs, the fork will compress just right without using preload. Also, the picture above is incorrect. The 2008 mz supercomp has 2 adjustment knobs at the tops. It is true that no replacement springs are offered as stated. All that is offered is a seal kit. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
