$1300.00 | | Purchased At: | Evolution Bikes | | Strengths: | It is plush, has excellent small bump absorption, every adjustment you need for every type of riding, soaks up the big hits like a sponge in water and ramps up like no other fork. | | Weaknesses: | the stanchions scratch a bit too easy | | Similar Products Used: | fox 40RC2, Rockshox Boxxer Race, Zoke 888RC, RS Totem Coil, Risse Bigfoot(like freakin butter) | | Bike Setup: | Demo 8:zoke 888rc2x va, code 5's w/ dangerboy levers, dhx 5, dee trax, RaceFace cockpit/cranks, SRAM x9 drivetrain, Gamut P40 guide, Maxxis Minion DH f&r(tubeless), Chris King No-threadset(gold), ODI lockons w/ Dangerboy barcaps. It's my baby, needless to say | | Bottom Line: | BUY IT! You can't find another fork with this performance for this price. It's more versatile than the Fox 40, has all the same adjustments and you know what? It is about three to four hundred bucks cheaper, not to mention it's unsurpassed strength and looks! The gray lowers, black stanchions, and red adjustment knobs just give it a clean, go-with-everything look. This fork has help make my bike a well-rounded downhill/freeride rig. Don't settle for anything else except the Marzocchi 888RC2X VA, because you're not going to find it. I love it, and it is serving me well after a little over 6 months of use, I haven't had to service it yet, the seals | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

$1000.00 | | Strengths: | The ability to set this fork to your exact liking would be a major strength in my opinion. Mine is set up now where it seems like it might be too soft but it rarely bottoms which is how I like it. | | Weaknesses: | I might have paid a bit more than ideal but if I get a product that works for me I'm ok with that. | | Similar Products Used: | Fox 40R | | Bike Setup: | vp free | | Bottom Line: | I was so surprised at the difference in feel between the Fox and this one. Using this fork has made me a much better, faster, and more confident rider. Kind of like the difference of going from 5" travel to 8". On top of that, I've gotten 5 days of hard resort riding on this fork already without any problems unlike the Fox which was in for seal replacement every few rides. So yeah, I'm liking this fork so far. | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 27, 2008 | | Duration Product Used: | Less than 1 month | | Purchased At: | came with bike | | Strengths: | torsionally stiff, lots of travel, BUTTERY SMOOTH, plenty of adjustments, good small bump sensitivity, ramps up nicely, reliable | | Weaknesses: | could be a little bit lighter | | Similar Products Used: | manitou dorado, sherman, 66vf, dropoffs, | | Bike Setup: | 2007 kona stab supreme, stock except for sram drivetrain, 729 rims | | Bottom Line: | This is the best fork I have owned so far. Performance wise the only fork to come close is the dorado, but the dorado has a host of issues to its own. The fork has many adjustments, you can set the fork up perfectly, so it soaks up all the small chatter but ramps up enough so it doesn't bottom out on the big stuff. Low speed compression is nice to have to prevent brake dive. The fork is also very smooth, it sags under the weight of the bike. As of now my only complaint is the weight, but the performance makes up for it. Would definitely recommend it for all around freeride or dh, if you race then look into something lighter like a boxxer WC or Team. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$800.00 | | Purchased At: | Red Barn Bicycles | | Strengths: | PLUSH!!!! Stiff. And easy to work on. The adjustments are also helpful in getting it setup to your EXACT liking. A+ | | Weaknesses: | None | | Similar Products Used: | Marz 66 | | Bike Setup: | Sinister R9, 888 RC2x, K24 | | Bottom Line: | I am very pleased with the performance of this fork. It is very adjustable and simple to maintain. Its ability to take the large hits and soak up the small trail chatter are very nice to say the least.
I just wish the '08 stuff was as reliable. So, for now the RC2x is staying put. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |

$1200.00 | | Purchased At: | Denny bike | | Strengths: | Buttery smooth. Small bump damping is top notch while big hit/drop bottom out works great as well. Best of both worlds. Ease of service. | | Weaknesses: | None really, the adjuster on the bottom of the fork hangs out there a little to much for rock banging. When I first installed the fork it had stickshion at beginning of movement. I sent it out to Marazocci they did the works and it is and has been perfect. | | Similar Products Used: | 2006 marz 66rc2, 2002 marz super T, 2001 z1 drop off, 2005 Fox 36 rc2 talas, 2005 Fox 36 rc2 vanilla. | | Bike Setup: | 2006 Demo8, dhx5.0, formula bianco, dt5.1D/Chris King, Michlen dh 23, Race face diaobolus, e13, | | Bottom Line: | This fork right out the box was not right in my opinion. I sent it in to have the works done. The staff at Marazocchi was great to deal with and they did a outstanding job fixing exactly what I thought was wrong. I could not be more pleased with the performance of the fork now, It tracks straight all the time weather it is marbles, golf-ball, baby-heads, or boulders. Does not bottom out on 10-15 foot drops to transition. The fork is easy to work on. | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
