66 RC2X! dope fork and pretty light weight too. My 66 weighs less than my '04 Z-1 that I have on my hardtail!

well i cannot test any of the forks because there are none in the area, is the travies worth the money they both sound like great forks

the 66 is designed to be marzocchi's forth coming into the big travel single crown era. All i know is that the travis, standing a inch taller, and with tpc dampening, is a super reliable fork, and completely under anticipated.

I like stable plaform valving but I think it belong on rear shocks alone, not forks. JUST MY OPINION THOUGH, what works for one person does not necessarily work for the next.

66 for sure

travis might feel little better in the parking lot lol
but 66 is just a better all around fork and they never break

well we just made some huge gaps like 20ft or so, will the travies be better and they offer a 180mm fork but if i get one i will go with 203mm travel, are the travies adjustable for a light rider say 145pounds usd and 66kg Cad and what are so of the adjustents on it the web site sucks
