Sano Lt6, Red baron G2's and Marzocchi Shiver 35mm



i know Marzocchi are most expensive, but im getting these all for a decent deal...pleae give me pros and cons

 

[zwieblekopf]

if you get the 200mm rotor upgrade for the marzocchi that's the best brake setup of all of them. And they have compression and rebound adjustment, and a leading axle unlike the g2's (i've owned both of them). the marzocchi are a little bit longer than the g2 also

 

[Dblake]

Any input on sanos?

 

[zwieblekopf]

haven't used them but i think they are very similar to the red baron ones

 

[Dblake]

do the g2's still feel good?

 

[zwieblekopf]

yeah they are decent forks, but they don't really compare to the zokes. They are set up kind of weird, dampening in one leg, spring in the other leg and I really don't like that the axle is in like with the forks as opposed to leading like the marzocchi

 

[Dblake]

so the sano have dampening in one fork also?

 

[phatfiddy]

Go with zokes. Lightyears ahead of the sano and redbaron forks.

ive had red barons and the sano lt6s



let me tell you form what ive experienced the sanos are much better



there fully adjustable good travel and ride very smooth handled bigger jumps than my g2s



red barons are pretty short aswell and think its the g2s not sure but have that very steep steering angle makes the handeling very twitchy



out of red barons and sanos id go with sanos



im getting aset of zokes tomorow as i would not now how they perform yet

i love my sano lt6's they handle really good but they are a bit soft if you are a heavier rider like me(200lbs). if you were not as fat as me lol they are prolly a good fork for a midweight person.

i know fast ace as-01 are cheap....but they look solid. am i wrong?

 

[zwieblekopf]

they are copies of the marzocchi forks, not the same quality though. And they are long, as of about a year ago they only made them in midsize (klx) length, might make shorter ones now though but haven't looked.

 

[doopsx3]

FastAce and GPX both make the short versions ...I have had both and they are ok...not zoke quality or even Japanese quality by far..but with a fluid change you can make them work okay...you get what you pay for

 

[zwieblekopf]

as-02 are shorter, as-01 are not. I've had the as-02 before, they don't compare to red baron or marzocchi.

 

[doopsx3]

I currently have AS02's on my MX mini and on my ST90...they are a PIA to set-up but once that is done they are ok...but yeah, they are not zokes for sure
