Gulli, Mura yata ang forks sa inyo..I paid so much for mine.. Now you're making me feel like I've just been robbed. Regards, Not only Forks fafa Rog, even the groupsets are way cheaper in Pinas, pinoy bikers are very lucky. Even the US made bike parts cheaper also compared to online shops like JensonUSA. |

Gulli, Mura yata ang forks sa inyo..I paid so much for mine.. Now you're making me feel like I've just been robbed. Regards, Rog, In any case you need something for your bike try getting in touch with Larry Mettler of www.mtnhighcyclery.com he's nice to talk to, made some inquiries with him before, but was held back by high shipping cost. But from the feedbacks of the mtbr forum he'll bend over backwards just to satisfy his clients...try sending him email, he's add is in the site above. Said he'll overhauls the fork you'll order before he'll send it out to you. Same goes to Dadjz,jr,kiddfoes,weekendrider, in case you need something new for your bikes. |

I recently brought an MZ Comp, as recommended by "bunso" of King's. Travel is only 4", ok lang for me since i only ride light xc. I checked it out sa marzocchi website, it's an '04 model, elastomer coil, magnesium. Sa fort ko pa lang nasubukan and i'm satisfied with it, considering the price (less than 5k). May 1 yr warranty pa.

Gull, actually Marz does have MZ series forks, this is same category with the EXR, outsourced forks from Suntour, dont worry roogs31, even if they're not made in Italy, the internals components are still said to be italian (Italian innards eh) With your kind of riding, it'll be too much for the job already. See link, by the link itself, it really state that its from Taiwan ;D www.marzocchi.com/system/7962/2004-Taiwan-en.pdf |

MZ-Comp possibly the cheapest Marzocchi fork ever! (There was a time that it was sold for only 4-4.5 K in King's Bike. Ngayon tumaas na presyo) For 2004 kasi may mga ilang OEM forks na exclusive ata sa Taiwan or something including this budget XC fork. Haven't seen reviews for this specific product but I have read ones that featured bikes equipped with this fork (mostly beginner-intermediate bikes ang ka-mate nito, like the 2004 Kona Blast) Mukhang Ok naman. I was about to get it but i decided to save some more dough and opt for the 2004 Drop-Off Comp for which I already gave some down money. Hoping to get it by early May. May balita kayo dito? so far the reviews I read points out that I made the right decision.

kaya pala di ko nakita, listed pala sya under OEM forks...do you know what frame it was designed for warlock? Oh sorry bout this, wasnt able to see this post sooner Gull, like Storm pointed out, its commonly equipped on entry level bikes like davinci's full suspension bikes, kona hardtails..seen somewhere it was used in specialized P1 also. Made a liitle research about this fork before, for it was out in auction on Yahoo Japan...saw it cheap, then later realized I could buy 2 brandnew MZs sa Pinas at their price used MZ here..insane isnt it? hehehe Roogs get the MZ or EXR hehe MX I guess is 2K more compared to MZ.  |

hello mga sir, any info on the 03 Marzzochi Dirt Jumper III? someone giving me good deal on second hand deal. am just a newbie. I have a RST gamma el on my hardtail. Do you think this will be a noticeable upgrade? you comments, suggestions, violent reactions are welcome thanks SUAVE, I can say go for it! I consider the 03' DJ III a good buy for an entry-level long travel single crown fork. I felt the big difference in the ride because of the longer travel. Base on the MARZOCCHI website it has a claimed travel of 130 mm (5 inches I think) but so far i'm just getting around 4.1 inches. Another is the the 32mm GOLD STANCHIONS (similar to their higher end dual crown forks like the JR.T/SUPER T). Unlike the 04' version, they downgraded the DJ III to 32 mm SILVER STANCHIONS (most high end forks still uses gold stanchions except ROCK SHOX which uses super slippery silver stanchions on their high end WORLD CUP models). Although it doesn't have ETA unlike higher end models, it's still made in ITALY inspite of the fact it's only an entry level fork. I just learned recently that there are models that are made in TAIWAN. I bought mine brand new for PHP 8,500. I hope this helps. For more info. check out their website: www.marzocchi.com |

I have a question ;D Does this mean na Suntour forks are as good as Taiwan made zokes? Meron kasi Suntour na with lock out less than P3k ang bentahan dito, tulad ng nasa ss ni maxbutiki. Mura compared to marzochi at ok ang yari... what u think master? By the way guys, ano ba ang review sa exr pro? Yan ang gamit ko eh pero di ako marunong mag review hehehe bought it last year 03 for P6.5...di ko alam ang weight, I have nothing to compare it with din kasi yun una kong fork rst gila sandali ko lang ginamit puro road pa... thanks! |

Master?! nasamid ako dun sa tea na iniinom ko ah. Fullspeed the Zokes that are outsourced to Suntour still have internals made in Italy (from what I gathered). If Zoke approves on Suntours capability with regards to Fork manufacturing, I guess their forks are worth looking over also |

Ei guys! i'm new here... ;D i am also a newbie in terms of biking.... but i'm here to make review about my marzocchi fork... 2004 Z1 Drop-off 2 to be exact. I have recently bought this in a local bike shop. It has 130mm travel of buttery-smooth travel, and a bad-ass black stanchion. Pero sa tingin ko less than 130mm travel nitong fork nito... pero yung ride-height nya eh mas mataas... compared to my last fork(EXR air). Medyo nag-iba ung geometry ng bike ko. Actually di ko pa masyado nagagamit ang full-performance nitong fork na to... bihira ko lang kasi eto magamit. Pero ayos na ayos sya kahit wlang air-pressure. Di sya madaling mag-bottomout... kahit stiff ang spring nya... ayos na ayos pang-trail! I bought this 17 thou... a little pricey pero you get what you pay for... An EXCELLENT performance!!! ;D I give this fork 10 flaming chillis!!! |
