urrm yea well the 409's arnt in a trend lol its the 318's that are
and i know what you mean
dj1 lighter than a 409 ?!?!?!?!?!
the thing that is putting me off the 4x is strenght and warrenty
will they be covered if i snap them whilst riding street or park or even dj ??
i know the 409's will coz thats there intended use but the 4x is designed for 4X
so i need info on the 4x's
is there anyone out there who uses the 08 4x for park and street ?

yeah the dj1's are lighter than any argyle and the 4x is lighter than dj1 so yeah very light.
i allways thought that marzocchi's where the strongest fork?
my freind broke his argyles the other day :S

and also on the marzocchi website it says intended uses for the 4x are: Dirt Juumping/Urban Riding and Four Cross so you should be fine if you break then tup

i really dont know what to get :S
if i get an argyle the only one i want is 409 (unless i can get a mega cheep deal on a 318 lol)
and for marzo only the 4x coz i think thats the only good fork this year
but im really worried about the bloody warrenty :S ?

yer i can get either the 4x for £350 or the 409 for £350
