Im currently looking into buying one of two Planet-X Jack Flashes and wanted to get a comparison on the forks that come on them. One has a Fox Forx Vanilla 125R and the Other a Marzocchi Z1 Wedge. Basically what i want to see is which is stiffer, has better realiabilty and will take daily riding abuse (park, DJ etc). Thanks for any input you guys can give me, forks are a big issue to me since ive broken quite a few (one was a wedge , but only cause of a fluke) so i need to know every thing you guys know bout em!

Anyone know anything about either fork? any info is helpful, like which do you guys think is a better DJ fork?

As big a fan as I am of Marzocchi, the Fox is a better fork. Much stiffer and much better damping.

If you're only dirtjumping you might not notice the difference in damping, but you'll definitely notice the stiffness of the fox. Just make sure it's not one of the early versions that had bad bushings...

I don't know all that much about the Fox, it being a new fork and all. However, Marzocchi's tend to be the pinnacle of reliability, and I think would serve you better for dirt jumping purposes. However, the Fox is probably a better all around fork.

Gotta go with Ohio, being a Marzocchi faithful, the Fox has a more up-dated design that serves the purpose better. I would take a Z1 FR anyday though.
