Marzocchi 888 CR Fork - 2011

Good budget dual crown fork (Product Review)

The Good

low maintenance, smooth feel

The Bad

a bit heavy, few dials for fine tuning

Overall Review
Last summer I purchased a cheap dh bike for bike park days and it came with a single crown fork. I soon ditchedthe fork in favor for the Marzocchi 888 cr. The relatively good price and my previous experience with Marzocchi forks sealed the deal. Once I had sold off the single crown fork I was looking at about a $350 upgrade which was staying true to the "budget" part of my new dh rig. I was really hoping that the fork would be like a big brother to the bomber 66 single crown fork, which I have had a few times on different bikes over the years. I was pleased to find out that was the case after...

Marzocchi 55 RC3 Ti Fork - 2011

Solid fork for your 6 inch bike (Product Review)

The Good

strong, Titanium coil spring!

The Bad

oil level was a little off from the factory

Overall Review
Let's be honest, price is a concern for most of us when making a bike purchase. The fact that this fork was much less than the competition when I bought it (online blowout a couple of years ago) was a big factor in me choosing it over other brands. Having said that, I was really impressed with it once it was installed on the bike. The strong 35mm stanctions were enough to keep things from being noodly in rough terrain and the feel of the coil spring was nice and buttery smooth. The weight of a coil fork is usually a bit of a penalty, but in this case Marzocchi has done a good job of keeping it...

Marzocchi 888 RC3 EVO Titantium - 2010 Fork

Back to their fine form (Product Review)

The Good

Low maintenance simple axle plush feel

The Bad

direct mount compatibility (i think they have changed for 2012 to boxxer style)

Overall Review
had the original 04 888s and loved them, then went to and been on Boxxer till i got the 2010 888rc3 evo Ti. Im 100% never ever EVER going back to a Boxxer fork. I live in Whistler riding and racing as much as possible. I ride a lot and can happily say my 888s out preform my Boxxers and require little to no maintenance. 1-2 rebuilds each season compared to a rebuild every 2nd week on the Boxxer. People need to loose the old stigma of the Marzocchi problems of previous years. My 'new and improved' 2010 Boxxer team came with no oil, warranty return, rebound cartridge seized, warranty return...
