Poll: What fork do you ride and what bike is it on?Marz Fan

'02 Z1 FR on Slayer
'02 Z1 dropoff on Trek Bruiser
'01 Z1 MCR 110 version on Klein Mantra
soon to be '03 Z1 FR or SL on '03 Cove Stiffee FR

As you can see I like the Z1's. A five inch fork that I can drop to 2 inches in the flick of a lever is absolutely perfect for my riding. I mainly ride trails that have lots of steep climbs and switchbacks and rough, rocky, rooty downhills. I dont know why the other companies cant seem to put a fork out that competes with the Z1 with extension control. The new Talas may be the closest thing, but we'll have to see I guess. I also really like the new Marathon S with dual coil springs 4" of travel and ETA. I have a feeling that is going to one of the best forks out this year.

One beefy 140mm inverted travel dual crown fork on a steel hardtail. Not exactly light weight, but it just rips in the technical. Awesome fork, btw. I'm excited to see that Magura is going to market them in North America this year. Chromed Steel stanctions, triple bolt lower crown, lots of slider overlap = SOLID. Like all inverted forks, it's a little twitchy in the slow creekbed type stuff, but stiff as a steel beam at speed.

I could only DREAM of owning a fancy fork such as the Fox's and Marathons...but oh well, the entry level Marz EXR is fine for me. Oh yeah I forgot to say that my fork is on an '01 Rockhopper hardtail.

$1200 Magnesium lowered lightweight DH race forks are going for $300-600 used depending on year model. Superb MTX/BSX//XXC/FR/DH fork, and I am NOT a RS fan.

I'm 200 lbs ride XC. No more than 2 ft of air drops to flat landing (rarely). Most rides average 2 - 3 hours on bike with average of 1000 ft of climbing per hour.
