Good replacement
Pros: Attractive, Durable, Great Value, lockout
Cons: quite heavy, hard to adjust
"I bought these forks due to them being on sale for a fantastic price. They were a replacement for some similar 2007 Marzocchi forks that were on my bike but had seen better days.
For the xc riding I do they seem to work very well, they also look much nicer than my old forks due to the light gold colour. They have a lockout which makes them good for when you are on the road, there is a tiny amount of movement when locked out but nothing you really notice.
Although they are lighter than my old forks however they still feel quite heavy. I've also not managed to adjust them yet, the thing you turn is very stiff and I'm concerned about damaging the forks if I use too much pressure.
They will never be in the same league as more expensive forks but at the price wiggle had them for they are great."

Just incredible value
Pros: Attractive, Great Value
"I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I ordered these forks- a horrible nasty budget surprise maybe? But when I opened the box I found a well finished, mid weight fork with all the Marzocchiness. They've even got a lockout. I was hoping for. Time will tell on the reliability, but so far so impressed."

Bargain bucket goodness
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Rugged
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"Bought these when they were £50 or so - replacing a set of Suntour XCR forks on hack bike . Absolute bargain for the money - take a bit of working in but much nicer feel than the Suntours. Limited adjustability on the fly but they suit me fine - might not suit someone with more skill/finesse/money?!
Supposed to be fairly durable and easy to service/maintain.

Good value basic fork
Pros: Attractive, Great Value, Rugged
Cons: Bulky, Unadjustable
"I've bought this for my new winter bike - a singlespeed On-One Inbred. Marzocchi have a reputation for making reliable and simple forks at this price range and this MX LO model fits with that.
First impressions were very good - it looks great. It's lighter than I expected (just over 2 kg, which isn't at all bad at this price range) and the alloy steerer tube was a pleasant surprise. The brake mounts are post-mount; there are easy to set up but I'd prefer the old IS system because I find this gives more scope for adjustment. This may just be my brake though.
It takes a few rides for the suspension to feel smooth; for the first couple of goes I thought the action was a bit sticky but it's now smoothed out nicely. It's a coil spring only, so there's practically no scope for adjustment - and less to leak and give trouble. The lockout works, but it doesn't lock the suspension out completely and there's still some movement. There is a bit of flex with downhill braking as the stauchions are skinny enough at 30mm.
Finally, the price - this is unbeatable value (with the pre-Christmas discount mine was about £93).
In summary - this is a basic, good value fork that works well. There are no particular bells and whistles, but little to go wrong (I hope).Recommended."

Value MTB Forks
Pros: Adjustable, Attractive, Comfortable, Durable, Great Value, High Quality, Versatile
Cons: Limited Color Choices
"As an entry level mtb fork, this fork will deliver all you could expect. From the beginner XC-er to mid-level rider these forks are an ideal unit to cater for most offroad applications. Not designed for extreme conditions but more than adequate for moderate usage. Lockout feature nice on those climbs and flat stages, and on descent, the damping and rebound complement the 100mm. travel."
