i would go for the 40s 
My photo should be POD !!!! the boxxer is the heaviest, crapest and weakest of the forks(the internals broke on me) then the 40 is just a tad heavier then the 888. i prefer the spring 40 to the air 888 but i dig the crome stanchions.
OMG ... 1. that fox 40 isn't limited edition , it has just shitty decals from ebay ... 2. the boxxer hasn't got the solo air cartridge , so it's just a team ... 3. that 888 ATA air is the biggest crap fork in the earth moves like 160 mm of 200...
f*cking hell im not jellous im telling that guy that i think these are world cup boxxers, might be wrong, thats it
Joco, your an idiot that 888 ata wc isn't crap, have you ever owned one as i've had mine for about a year and its amazing, brilliant performance at races and unbeatable reliability (when everyone else at races has to service there 40s and boxxers all the time my forks keep running as great as they did on day one) and trust me they do use there full 200mm travel as i have done (they are adjustable between 160 and 200 but if u put them on 200 then they use the 200mm)
maglor, have fun with the 888 while you can cause if you break it you cant warranty it, they dont cover anything that was raced on which i'm finding out now, i'm going to get a boxxer or 40 for next season i blew the bottom out on my 888 and apparently they wont warranty it and they dont fix the problem they just send a new one so either i ride it till its f*cked up or buy a new one. such bullshit:@
each to there own, but the i have to say that marzocchi do warranty forks that have been raced, firstly it would be utter bullshit if they didn't warranty something that broke doing what it should do (these fork are made for riding hard and racing are they not?) and secondly i had some 07 66s before the 888 and one of the cartridges wasn't working like it should (and i did race with the 66 fork) and they just took it back and fixed it straight away and it was fine after that, they weren't even bothered that they where raced or abused or anything as that's what there made for and why they cost what they do.

sais racing isnt covered, and i'm having trouble getting my fork warrantied i already tried and apparently they marked that my fork was rushed to be shipped out for a race( it wasnt) so they know i was racing with it so it wasnt covered. i had a wheel from the same distributor that was rushed for a race cause they dicked around and took 2 weeks to ship and its usually next day delivery so i dotn know how they marked that down but its prety gay. time for a boxxer or fox 40 i guess, or i have to get good enough to be sponsored and not have to worry about warranty

your retarted to the second power. dont call me a dumb ass when you have no iead what your talking about.
limited edition 40's have the fork number lazer etched onto the lower crown, is it me or is that missing, the boxxer's are missing the world cup decal on the arch of the lowers and i dont see an air valve? to me the ata looks broken on the 888 or is it normally on that angle
not even the latest fox 40 either, coz not got the updated upper crown for integrated stems, which the limited edition forks have
agreed editor, fantaman not sure why u hate em because mine are the best fork i've ever owned or used.
and the le 40's are like eye burning brilliant white. so wheres the brilliant white. and tim intense is right theres no lazer etching on the crown.
no i own them all i have riden them all the boxxer is the worst, old boxxers suck,but 2010 ones are as good as or better then fox 40's.
