anyone that likes the idea of riding on a cloud and still be able to throw your bike off a cliff, you've met your better half. This fork is lighter and has better turning capability then the 888, but the cahonas are still in there (Y).
I was riding a Manitou Travis Single 180 TPC and it was just so soft and mushy, and I'm only 142lbs. And with no preloads and compression maxed I was constantly bottoming it out. This fork is a dream and so much plusher and less sticky than my Manitou. I've ridden the Travis's, Totem's, and 36 and still think that Marzocchi's straight up the way to go. They will last forever and are so strong.
Such a strong fork Ive had alot of front end cases one gave me a broken wrist but the fork was completly fine only problem so far is the axle bolts being rounded off but thats proberly my fault.
I have this forks on my glory 0 as well. Forks are really nice and plush only one problem i found with them is they weight but who care in a fr bike
The best 180mm single crown forck out there. Ive a totem and this one and the totem is sooo unreliable its rediculous. I will buy from marzocchi anyday
Smooth and strong as hell! Not for the weight conscious, but worth the effort when things turn downhill.

"We started it. We dominate it. Marzocchi was the first to have the vision for a lightweight, long travel, single crown fork with double crown performance. The 66 feels like a 888 and is distinctly a Marzocchi."
Specifications Compare to other Forks
| Release Date | 2009 | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $999 | |
| Weight | 3186 g | |
| Color Options | Grey | |
| Travel | 180 mm |
Travel - refers to the distance the wheel can move in respect to the frame. Typically measured in millimeters, most forks range from 80 to 203 mm of travel
|
| Spring | Coil | |
| Crown | Single | |
| Rebound | Yes |
Rebound - is how quick your fork returns to a fully extended position after being compressed. Almost all after-market forks feature external rebound adjustment for easy fine tuning.
|
| Stanchion material | 38mm Alloy Stanchions | |
| Steer Tube | 1.5 | |
| Damping | Rc3 |
Damping - The process of absorbing the energy of impacts transmitted through the forks or rear shock during the compression stroke, and absorbing the energy of the spring during the rebound stroke.
|
| DropOut Options | 20mm | |
| Compression | Hi-Lo Auto Compression Adj |
Compression - This is the damping circuit that absorbs the compression energy force on the damper. Compression damping is used to adjust how quickly a fork or rear shock compresses when hitting a bump, and is adjustable on some products. When compression damping is too soft, this condition allows most of the available travel to be used without attaining control of the wheel. When it's adjusted too firmly, the wheel will jump or "dance" about when hitting small bumps, again failing to gain control of the wheel.
