Advantages: Very strong, stiff, versatile Disadvantages: Heavy, marmite looks
...This fork is aimed purely at the dirt jump and street market. For this reason they have been constructed primarily with strength in mind. The steerer tube is made from reinforced steel so there are no worries about cracking as on some of the older models of this fork. The stanchions are 32mm diammeter steel ensuring that they can withstand the constand abuse of dirt and street riding. All this steel does come at a price though, and that is the weight of around 7lb, about 2lb heavier than the 2003 version with aluminium steerer and stanchions (although I own both of these versions of the fork, and when in use the extra weight only seems to make a difference on long climbs, not the forks intended use, and therefore the weight is not a problem as far as I am concerned). The damping is Dual SSVF and has an external rebound adjuster, preload...

Advantages: Looks awesome, Feels great when landing hard Disadvantages: Weight, Performance on trials
...Ok, so i have been using these forks on my custom DMR sidekick for about half a year now and have decided to write a review because i am very impressed with the performance.
These Dirt Jumper forks are heavy, there is no doubt about that. But there is so much reason for them to be heavy and it is no great sacrafise. The DJ (DirtJumper) is one of the first true Dirtjumping forks designed to actually take some real abuse. The stantions are steel, no more lightweight flimsy alluminum, this creates stronger stantions so that less Marzocchi DJ forks get them broken. The steerertube remains steel like it always has been but the steerer tube is reinforced for roughly the bottom 3-4 inches with a thick steel insert, this makes for less, or no Marzocchi DJ forks having the steerertube snap, which as you may know, can be deadly. If you have...
