I'm after some new forks and have seen some 160mm Marzocchi 55 TST2 Air Forks (2011) for a really good price. I don't really know much about Marzocchi but the reviews seem very mixed, there a lot of people saying they are s**t and then there are others saying they are fine. All of these reviews are of pre 2011 models though, so are they any good or should I steer clear?

    I had some 2008 and they were shi** the cartridge kept blowing, think a lot of the problems were when they changed production to the far east, all sorted now I believe.

    I have some 2011 DJ2 Bombers on my jump bike, simple forks but they are really smooth and take some abuse.

    Marzocchi make some of the best forks around, OK they aren't Fox but they are pretty good for the price. I've got a pair of 160mm AM2's and have had them for about 4 years and they work faultlessly, just service them every now and again and treat them to some new oil and you'll be fine.
