Hi guys!

there are rumours about marzocchi quality recently.

but, refer to this thread title, i'm going to purchase that item , whicht I believe it was 2007 model and built in the same year or older. Year 2007 Marz is still reliable isn't it ?? This offer comes from Aussie for AUSD150.

Am i making a good purchase ?

Looks like it's an '08 model~

There's probably a reason why it's so cheap....
If you're getting it as a temporary fork to tide you over while looking for a new fork den by all means no problem....
Otherwise I would pass on it....
Hope that helps~

I can't agree with that.
The $150 fork is definitely the 2007 MX PRO LO, it's the $359.95 fork that's the 2008 MX PRO LO.

Oh hokae~ Oops.....

But I'll still stick to my statement of buying it if it's just for tiding you over until u get a better fork~
Be it an '07 or '08 model~

Cheers!

The MX Pro LO 2007 is a low end fork which uses damper rod for damping. So once the trail gets rough, the fork is going to start spiking, and you'll be in for a harsh ride. I would strongly suggest saving your money, and buying something which has a proper damping system.
