Marzocchi 55 TST-2 Features: Our new 2008 55 series continues our heritage as one of the first to produce an all mountain fork nearly 10 years ago. The Z2 wasn't made for XC racing. We simply wanted to ride a great feeling reliable fork over the entire mountain. Specifications: TST 2 with lock out Adjustable compression and rebound damping 1 side coil + 1 side air spring 35mm stanchions Aluminium steerer 11/8\ steerer 2.74kg QR20 axle 140mm travel 6\" Post mount (8\" Max)"
Advantages: Looks awesome, Feels great when landing hard Disadvantages: Weight, Performance on trials

If you are on a budget the DJ3 is the strongest low price fork avalible. You could also look for a 2003 Marzocchi DJ fork which will be significantly lighter (roughly 2.5 lbs.) because of alloy stantions, and a non-reinforced steerertube, but as I have said in the review, be prepared for a loss of strength and if your a rough rider, a snapped or damaged fork!
Since the DJ forks are dirtjump forks, they don't work that well out of the box as a trail fork. First recomendation is to flush out the stock oil, and replace it with lighter oil. This will speed up the rebound damping and in turn gets rid of the knocking sound the fork produces.
Im not going to go into detail on the looks of this fork, it simply looks menacing and amazing on a smaller frame.
Bottom line the DJ3 is a sweet fork for riding dirt jumps...

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...
