Favoriate Trail:TOP SECRET
Duration Product Used:3 months
Price Paid: $675.00
Purchased At:ebay
Strengths:Very adjustable. Haven't had to use the air input, but it is great insurance. Repectable weight for how durable they a built.
Weaknesses:Adjusters at the bottom of the fork.
Similar Products Used:Monster T, 05 888, manitou travis
Bike Setup:03 RM7 WS, '08 888, hope, race face, sram xo, pretty much a thrashing rig.
Bottom Line:This fork was a definite step up from the monster T in tunability and weight. So far has taken everything the big fork would. 38 mm stanctions allow for a smooth feel and no stiction that I have encountered. All in all, a great lower end '08 888 that will take almost anything, is easy to tune, and all in an afforadable light weight package. I like it and would buy another!

Favoriate Trail:Kiara
Duration Product Used:3 months
Purchased At:LBS
Strengths:Firm with good absorption of jumps and big bumps
Weaknesses:Heavy! and need time to run in the product
Similar Products Used:Marz AM SL 1
Bike Setup:Yeti ASX, Dabomb Wheels, Kenda
Bottom Line:Its works like any marzocchi u've tested or owned, absorbs bumps and keep u save from flying over the bar. The downside is the weight and the time needed to run in. Nvm the lower grade parts used and besides its the lowest spec 888 afterall, and btw, a 888 is still a 888.

Strengths:indestructable i put a 1 mil. scratch in the middle of the stantion and i think they actualy work better but i dont think they are as nice as the pair of 2005 66s i had
