    boxxers are generally considered higher maintainance, and a bit more flexy (coz there race forks) and the marzocchis are just plush... low maintainance etc. unfortunetly there sooo new the magazines dont have reviews in (by that i mean dirt, i just trust their reviews more...)

    yeah. the boxxers are supposed 2 be bit smoother than the 888 from what i can gather.
    i thought that it was the world cup boxxers which were the high maintenance jobbys?? :?

    same compression/rebound damoping system, just different springs, so i think its a common trait, the maintainance.
