|   Fox Float 100 vs Marzocchi Marathon 100??? | Rockohaulic
Feb 21, 2002 12:36 PM | | Please tell me your opinions/pros and cons of these two forks. Or just mention which one you prefer if you'd rather not elaborate.
Bike will more than likely be a Hammerhead/Titus 100X.
thanks.
And the survey says? |

Feb 21, 2002 1:48 PM | | I was debating that myself. I ended up going for the Marathon, as I figured it would be stiff enough, and the weight advantage "outweighed" the stiffness advantage of the Fox for me. If most of my riding was in very rocky or rooty terrain, my decision may have been different. As it is, I'm very happy with the feel of the Marathon (and my decision). I'm coming from a Psylo Race. The Marathon actually feels more plush on a lot of the ride, but not as torsionally stiff. I suppose your decision comes down to your own weight, and how rough your trails are. |

| A vote for Fox..... | The Squeaky Wheel
Feb 22, 2002 4:42 AM | | First, excellent choice on the HH-100. I am a proud owner of Charles' first December batch.
After years on Marz bombers, I opted for the Fox. Haven't been disappointed. The stiffness is definitely appreciable, particularly during hard cornering, off-camber lines & rock gardens. I weigh 170# and notice a difference from my old bomber, which I thought was the stiffest fork until the Fox. It's an excellent pairing for the HH frame.
The fork is very "plush" and responsive.
Only question mark is its long-term durability.
