Well?

 

[kitchenware]

I voted for the Z1, but I have a Psylo SL arriving today. If it lasts half as long as my old Z3 I'll be happy.

Im Very Happy with my Fox Vanilla 125 RLC!

 

[M.W.]

Z1 because I ride one, and my mom says I'm cool.

 

[prisspringle]

well my old drop offs where great till i snaped the compresion rods and the lowers fell off leaveing me with a nice trip to A&E , but i've just got some 01 mcr's and there great compared to the drop offs .

priss

 

[JRogers]

had a z1 and it was great but now I use a Vanilla R 125 and it feels better and tracks better.

 

[way2jedi4u]

i voted z1, but i still love my manitou black

 

[Rip]

Z1 all the way.

 

[Motionboy2]

I love the ride of my z1, but i just sent it back for warranty repair/replace. Oh well i would still buy another in a heartbeat.

 

[nsrider]

i voted other, the manitou supernova should have been up there, an awesomely strong fork, also the 99 z1 dual is a very pimp fork, or any old 2000 z1 witha replacable arch

 

[Tweek]

Got a Psylo race, but voted Z1. Psylo's nice and light, and oil's not an issue, but the Marzi's way more plush and solid.

 

[Wade]

Personaly I have a SHIVER on my rig , but Marzocchi is the only way to go:devil:

 

[wzikel]

Riding a DJ1 at the moment and it sure feels better than the psylo race 01 that i had.. so it's marz for me... but i voted others... nitty gritty : :

 

[komsamolets]

I love my Z1 but as soon as Vanilla willl have a 20mm axle, I'm selling my Z1 (traitor, I know).

 

[Dark Helmet]

Z1, period.

 

[julianu]

Z1s kick but im ona have to go with my Fox 125

 

[Big John]

Zoke Z-1!!

[Damn True]

2000 Z-1 QR20

 

[BMXman]

the Shiver SC is the best

 

[FRzealot]

Voted for the Fox, it's a little stiffer, little more adjustable, more responsive.

Tough call tho- Z1s last for YEARS under straight abuse, havent' changed bushings or seals from 98-02, and you can service one with your eyes closed!


Shiver SC? BMXman, you must be joking.

 

[Trail Bum]

I love my Fox! I takes hits that would have put me down on my RS. It gives you more confidence to go off the trail and into the nasty stuff to pass the occasional trail snail.

 

[ghettorigged]

Rode around a few forks before deciding I wanted a Z1. I am now just another very happy Marzocchi owner!

I love mine too .

 

[jabberwocky]

I'd like to vote but find myself ignorant on the topic since the Z-1 is the only fork I've ridden for an extended period. I expect quite a few riders are in the same boat.

thats the same one i got and i love it!

 

[PmbH]

(new here, not sure what I'm doing, so forgive me if I end up posting in the wrong place, etc)

I voted for the Psylo because that's what I ride. I like all the adjustability, and it works well for the kind of riding I do. I don't take any big drops, and wouldn't try with this fork. For hard-XC riding, on a bike with 5 inches of rear travel, the Psylo SL works pretty damn well. The U-turn actually comes in handy on rides with a couple miles of uninterrupted climbing (fairly common for me).

 

[Skookum]

I'm voted for the psylo sl as well. I feel stupid voting bcuz i havent ridden on the other shocks here but what the hell, i'm bored hehe. On forest road climbs up u can dial down with the uturn to get your front end lower, and u can lock out too if it's smooth surface. When there is a proper spring inserted it reacts great, plush, absorbs well, takes abuse. I havent dropped more than four foot on this shock but if yer lookin to do that dont u want a dual crown anyways?

 

[Mtn Cycle Shawn]

I think the '02 Psylo SL is the best all around 4-5" single crown fork. It's super adjustable and I can use it from XC on my Mountain Cycle Moho STS hardtail all the way to light downhilling on my Mountain Cycle San Andreas.

 

[VTinCT]

Just got my new Fox Vanilla R 125 in the mail! That sucka is buff!! SUPER stiff! Makes my Z3 feel whimpy!

 

[BurlyShirley]

word on the psylo,

may not be the best dropper, but when i actually have to go up hill a while, that U-turn sure can be nice, also..the little cool orange knob matches my frame

 

[knulfing_forest]

i have a z1 wedge and it kicks-ass so i voted for it

 

[crazybastard]

I say fox vanilla all the way it is super stiff for a regular qr

1999 Marzocchi Z1 Dual.

 

[burgerks]

dorado sc!!! well it might be to heavy but when the manitou Sherman's hit I would place my vote there, they are sooo smooth

 

[spookymilk]

where's the Sherman love? I've ridden both a Flick and a Firefly and after riding one, they make Marzocchi's feel like trash. At speed they pick up every little bump and then they ramp up so nicely on big hits. They're light compared to the new Zokies and they can fit just about any tire (2.8 Michie if you're that crazy). My money now goes to Manitou

 

[MTB_Rob_NC]

The Z1 is a great fork and the Vanilla is good for the money, but why isn't the Talas on that list?
