Society = restickered RST space jump, I'd go with the Dj3 as i think my face would look better on my head than the floor.

if getting djs dont get 09. made by suntour and crap in general. a mate has already bust his 09s doing nothing spectacular. 2010s are greatly improved. xenos are good but heavier i think but you might want to check that out Big Grin

society hands down! strong as hell and feel sweet for dirt. even did some DH with mine and they took it all in their sride. DJ3 are flexy and cheeply made in taiwan which = absolute b*llocks. go for the society.

Societys hands down? no, more like face down. I personally wouldn't ride either fork as they're both pretty bad but you'll have a higher life expectancy with the marzocchi.
This is what happened to my buddy Dangerous Dave:

Wow O.o, some say that Marzocchi are cheaply made, some say society forks are easy to break...I have to be sincere, i'm more interested in Society's because they have a 20mm axle and come with the 9mm hub adaptors, and they work with oil and air, so it seems better than marzocchi forks, but marzocchi is a great brand and has good feedback, but i only have money for the DJ3 that comes with 9mm axle, and it works with springs...

A dj3 with a stiff nutted axle will be stronger than an rst. Xenos are poor.

Dont scared by the picture where the stanchions are ripped out the crown. There are Rst launches or something similar. They retails at 69.99 and were truly terrible.

Dj3s feel bad. Will last a while.
Xenos feel really good for the money... Easier to brake.

Theyre pure dangerous. I've ridden and snapped many forks, nothing has shocked me as much as those xenos.
My buddy is sponserd and is as smooth as f*ck and he snapped his easily, and he is build like a little girl.

Hahaha. The 4Xr forks are pretty bad too. Phil Aukland said he jammed several 2p coins into his as the preload is crap and he cant get them stiff enough lol

Bahhh i tought Xeno's were good Frown . So DJ3 9mm axle is a good choice? I have a cheap Suntour (XCT 80mm) so anything would be better...
