I've already tried briefly a argyle, 318 i think and god i hated the feeling. Maybe it was just the setting my friend set it to, but i don't know... I've already fealt a pike and it felt really good, though so far can't say as much for the argyles. Though i would trust argyles over djs even if i'm a marzocchi guy.

I've ridden a 06 MX comp eta fork for a while, wasn't very big (30 mm stanchions) and it had 120 mm travel with travel adjust, ETA (awesome feature) and air preload and seriously, that fork was so freaking awesome! Then got my hucker and went with an 05 z1 fr2 forks with 150 mm travel, no enough adjustibility, didn't feel as good as my MX comp eta and now have a 66 RC2X and it feels just freaking amazing! Better than my mx which felt great serisouly!

Alot of people underestimate Marz. I understand marz have great forks, medium forks and crappy forks, but their high end models just rock imo. Not so much for the 08 models, we'll see about the 09 models (which i hate the stickers).

Though the 06 marz are awesome!
