Oct 13, 2003 5:47 AM | | I went for the Z1, and I've no regrets. It replaced a Black Elite that went back for warranty (blown damping circuit), and, while Manitou's service was amazing, I didnt want another fork that needed to go back to the shop for ANY reason. TPC+ is awesome, but I like th Z1's damping a lot more, and the adjustability of the air spring is phenomenol. Good luck. |

The z1 was definitely plush...but it just didn't quite have that coil feel...although it is by far the closest to a coil feel for an air fork that i've ridden anyway...either way no one really has any major complaints with the two forks. I would say ride one if you can, if not choose the one you can get the best deal on or that matches your bike better! ha |
