droo Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Nothing wrong with any of those forks. The Manitou's great and the backup is good, and Rockshox has been spoken for above. Marzo's the unfortunate one - probably the best of the bunch, and I can do the servicing for you, but if you ever need spares you're stuck since there's no local agent.

patches Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 "Marzo service" is an oxymoron I have had 2 Marzo forks and they were bombproof. Always plush, and never demanded any maintenance. I guess they get a bad rep from the lack of local representation, and because we constantly get "Rockshox and Fox are the only 2 forks to consider" shoved down our earholes. But yeah, I was very impressed with the Marzo forks I had, and if/when I build another bike I'd consider a Marzo as an option.
the nerd Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Ive also heard really really good things about the DVO forks!

Suuuuper plush, suuuper stiff and just plain awesome.

They're mostly bombproof, but it would be nice to know that spares were available when they're occasionally needed. It's not often, but it does happen occasionally.

JXV Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Also had some very nice Marzo forks in the past....pity that parts were hard to come by.
banna Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 It's still there...Haha! Been there for over 3 years. Insane how time flies hey?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Haha! Been there for over 3 years. Insane how time flies hey?yeah dude. I know. Danny Hart's run in the rain was more than 4 years ago now... Bloody hell.
Danger Dassie Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Don't discount these suspension options as well, all available locally and competitively priced. Would put them up against any of the others - - DVO Suspension - X Fusion - Formulae - SR Suntour

Capricorn Posted June 24, 2015 Posted June 24, 2015 Watch this spaceMarzocchi is Dead, Long Live Marzocchi?????? http://www.pinkbike.com/news/marzocchi-tenneco-for-sale.html that rumor started floating about 2 months ago. sad to hear it from the horses mouth though :/Makes me wonder 2 things:1) who will snap it up? Forums suggest Shimano. I'm thinking Suntour, or even Giant. some big suspension OEM should get the IP.2) how do smaller, more recent entrants to the game, like DVO survive?

Nothing against them, but I can't see myself putting a Shimano fork on my SRAM kitted bike (do not mention that the reign is full shimano)
