| FavoriteTrail: | anything fast, rooty, and rocky |
| Duration Product Used: | 3 months |
| Price Paid: | $600 |
| Purchased At: | Cycletofitness.com |
| Strengths: | Stiff chasis/crown, great adjustability and dampening with ETA and TST micro, Zoke smooth and plush feel, no break in period like other Zoke forks |
| Weaknesses: | Could be a little taller, fugly looking stickers, made in Tawain, not Italy anymore (this is not terribly bad though), long term reliablity (but you have a 2yr warranty for that) |
| Similar Products Tried: | Zoke Z1 light, RS Pike, Fox Float |
| Bike Setup: | 06' RFX w/all the AM/FR goodies |
| Bottom Line: | Great fork! I like this even better than the good, very reliable Z1 light that it replaced. It is stronger, more versatile, and has a better dampening feel altogether. Even though the pre-08' TST AM forks have a bad track record with failed dampeners. Feels like I can ride a bit of everything on this fork without any hesitations going up or down. Strongly recommend for the AM/FR's out there looking for a new fork for their 5.5-6.5" traveled bikes. Would give it 5 chilis if it came with a hot "Marzocchi babe" on the ads to make it outstanding, otherwise a great fork. |
