I'm pretty sure 4X are ment for 4X racing and DJ/Street, Marzo will prolly hold up to a warranty if they do break, I doubt the will thou.

i would like to know if the marzocchi 4x rc3 2010 are better than the other years.
and if the 4x 2010 could be better than argyle 2010.

4X, hands down. The Argyle will just break down and fail somehow.

Break down. I have seen pretty much every Argyle leak oil, usually from the compression adjuster.

I have a 2008 4X RC3 on my DJ, I weigh 200 lbs. and do dirt jump, street and park with it. I have never topped mine out. The fork feels amazingly light up front and haven't had a problem yet. I also have several friends that run 4X and no problems there either. 4X all the way.

You can also make a peg mount for a 4X, but you can't for a Argyle. Damn Maxle.

Argyle is definitely not stronger than the 4X. Maybe stronger than a Velvet or something garbage.

yeh but there more versatile, because you can do DJ, street, and a bit of freeride on them, aswell as most other types of riding.

That has more to do with fork settings than the actual fork. I use a 4X for everything and it works well for DJ, street, and park because it is set up properly. I don't freeride, but if I did, I wouldn't be worried about using the 4X.
