#MarzocchiZ1 #jeffkendallweed #jeffkendallweedridereport

I’ve been riding the $700 Marzocch1 Z1 fork for over 6 months now, and I’ve been riding the Fox 36 Grip 2 fork off and on for almost twice that. How do these two enduro forks compare? Is it a smart call to save $400 and go for the Marzocchi? Or does the performance of the Grip 2 blow the Z1 outta the water? I’ve been plenty satisfied with the Z1, though there are many other riders who might be well served by the higher end option.
