    I don't have alot of cash. This is the bargain fork I'm interested in:

    WIGGLE LINK

    It's to go on my TranceX, taking off and freeing up the F120 to put on my XC HT. I realise the MZ is about 0.5kg heavier, but it's coil and prolly stiffer/beefier.

    1) Is is OK?
    2) Isn't this one that can be extended to 140mm by removing a spacer?
    3) These have a longer crown-axle length than Fox forx don't they?

    ta in advance

    Sorry just realised that ATA means "Air" so it's not an ATA

    What do you think?

    Might be better getting some second hand moco recons or similar, those 44s got a shit write up in mbuk didn't they?

    Well the 44 micro models get a very poor write up on Bike Radar, but they say that the 44s they've had on all year are great. I don't think zocchis naming scheme helps differentiate the models!

    isnt ATA one of the additions that let Marz down with poor reliability? it may be okay as its one of the latest '09 models with thr 3yr warranty Marz introduced in a bid to reassure customers, it is very cheap!

    Got same ones but 2010 for my mate, looked and felt really good, sturdy but on the heavy side. Apparently they changed couple of things and went back to basics with the design so open bath and some fancy bushings. They didn't blow up yet so all is well. I would stay clear away from all the fancy systems like ATA that was a massive fail on XC700 or other systems. The 44 RLO is just a simple low pressure air spring and a on/off lockout + rebound damping. Nothing special but for that price it is a lot of fork. Also the 2010 model that has 120mm travel can be changed to 140 by removing a spacer, don't know about 2009. 2009 seems to have some metal adjuster whereas 2010 has some plastic ones. 120 notes, don't think You can get anything better brand new for that money and 3 years warranty.
