Don't hold me to this, Maelstrom will know more likely than me, but I think I heard that the T2's had the same internals as Jr T's but I'm not totally sure. If this is the case then the normal T's will have better dampening. Which I am sure, the T's are better than the T2's.

You're not correct Hopper.
The T2 came out in 2003. There was no regular monster t after that. The T2 has basically the same intenals, but more travel and weighs 14 pounds compared to the monster t's 9.5.
Its just alot beefier.

Sorry, I thought There was a T and T2 in '03 just one was OEM and the other wasn't, obviously I was wrong. No I'm sure he ain't talking about the Super Monster.

It is a marz fork. I could have sworn it was OEM (maybe that was the jrt2 for norco) but it is a low end monster and doesn't use the moto cartridges.

MonsterT2 is OEM used by Norco...mael is right. Like the 888 that Norco used that had the JrT carts. The MonsterT2 uses SSVF not HSSV....something like that.

They are a popular aftermarket sale. Cheap and strong.

That's what I thought, the T2 was a Monster T with SSVY, not HSCV and was OEM

Sorry meant to write SSVF
HSCV= High-Speed Compression Valving (HSCV) allows lighter damping for better trail sensitivity but still resists bottoming. The moving valve on the shaft controls rebound and low-speed compression damping. The valve in the bottom of the cartridge (HSCV), takes the edge of any hard hit to maintain control.
SSVF= The latest version of our Speed Sensitive Valve has a new Floating valve and spring design. It incorporates a spring-loaded valve, which is more responsive and uses an external rebound adjuster. (Marz website)
SSV= the Speed Sensitive Valve (SSV) uses 5 valve circuits to control damping rates based on the fork’s compression and rebound speed as well as the fork’s position in the travel. (Marz website)
OEM= Is a fork which is not prduced as an aftermarket frk, but you can usually find them at bike stores wh may have swapped out the frk n purchase.
