The marzocchi 888 will work fine, if it's too plush get a stiffer spring.

a Monster T would be much better then an 888 for a heavier rider. theirs more too them and I've never seen one broken. but they weigh more.

It will work fine now since they have amped it up but at the monster t time there wasnt. It was designed to be way stiffer than anything out there and handle more abuse that a bigger rider would put on a fork.

Ya the 888 is just as good and better than the monster ever was stiff springs and youll be in business. and for u guys that wanna argue strength....monster stantion thickness=40mm---888 stantion thickness=38mm.....2mm dif. will not effect it.

What do you think?
risse fork is lighter then the super monster T
dude look at those uppers and how far they stick above the top crown haha that seems to me like it would be axtremely awkward to ride bacuse youd have these two huge things on either side of your stem that if you hit your head off seem they would just cookie cutter your eyes outEek

the crowns are adjustable mate you would jus put them up higher

that's very true but not as sick as that richiWink
yah. sick for the shocks, other than that, imo the azonic is a lot sleeker looking bike.
they are both prob a pain to lug about though! god bless uplifts
is it just me or does the angle of the rear triangle look really weird. it's as if he jammed a shock with a too long of stroke into that thing
i think its just because of how high the forks push the front end up

that bike is sweet, and it even has 2 shocks(i know the karipel(sp?) does to but this one is sweeter)
why bother. downhill doesnt need that much and the rampage was canceled. pay attention to slopestyle


Except Rampage is back on now, but you still don't need an bike that "big" for it.
