I've had forks from Manitou, RS and Marz. Of the three, I like the Marzocchi the best, because it suits my style of riding. BIG and Burly. Not a lightweight. I've had several Manitou's and preferred them over RS for durability and simplicity. Very reliable (except in Vegas's case) and very little maintenance was required. I rode the crap out of them and they held up very well. As a matter of fact, I'm buying another pair to put on my wife's bike (or my next project bike!).
I have no complaints about them and have no problems recommeding them for a rider looking for a lighter weight yet quality product!
