04 Marzocchi Dj3

svfreerider87 · 10-13-2004, 09:35 PM

I know almost everyone hates them, but that's because they've never owned one, it's like Darren's monster, it's heavy, not as ugly as the monster, (no offense D!) but god damn is this fork strong, this fork can take more shiit than you can through at it, if your looking for a fork that dirtjumps like no other, and is virtually indestructable this is the fork for you! It's simple, cheap, and it works! This fork is iin my opinion the best bang for your buck. Ride on People.

I have an 03 dj3 on my hardtail.I have them set at 4" and extra stiff.I only paid like $135 for them and they feel as good as any marzocchi ive had.

Post a pic please!! I'm interested, but I need a price and a pic. Also, does it have 9mm or 20mm dropouts?

svfreerider87 · 10-14-2004, 09:51 PM

That's a 2003 DJ3. The 2004s have silver steel stanchions and they're a little heavier. Here's the 04 DJ3. I'm not sure what fender they're talking about.

I got a 2004 DJ3 when I broke the EXRs on my P1. This is an excellent fork. It's cheap (less than $300 new), stiff, strong, and it looks cool. It's really simple too, with just air adjustment. It's the best jumping fork that you can get if you can't afford a Fox or DJ1

Please pay attention to who posted what and follow the discussion because if you do you will find that it was posted and he (motomack) said that it was an 03.... the 04 post was by a different person.

Oh, I get it. Since the thread was about 04 DJ3's I thought that mtbfreerider was pleading to all of us to post a pic. I didn't think that he was asking motomack specifically.

The DJ3 is a great fork.

I agree. You can beat the **** out of these forks and they will keep on tickin.

On a similar note, NEVER BUY A ROCKSHOX

Funny... Tomorrow i'm buying a ROCK SHOX PIKE because my Marzocchi DJ2 is cracked on the crown by the fender mount.. :)
I love Marzocchi tough... I will send it in for them to replace the crown and stereer tube... :)

Im not a big fan of rock shox either but i think the boxxer is a great fork.Can you back up your statement with some facts about why not to buy them?All forks break if you beat on them no matter how much you spend.

Nemesis Gnat · 02-11-2005, 12:50 AM

dont be hatin on rs... i love the rock shox forks much more than the zokes which jus tfeel dead... the rs forks feel lively, and you can lift them off the gournd without the help of a winch or jump or something like that
