Marzocchi Shiver - Greatest fork ever?

[brentomatic]

Marzocchi Shiver - Greatest fork of all time? Any year.

Discuss.

[Bryce]

I rode a Shiv for a few years and loved it. But now I'm on a 888 and I appreciate the increased steering precision. No question though, Shivers are really nice

[DaveM]

Loved it while I had it, didn't think there could be anything better until I got the 888RC. For the first 3 years, I think it was top of the class.

The 888 has better dampening, lighter and seems to be pretty strong.

[APT]

Loved it while I had it but would not go back. Mind you, there weren't alot of competitions back then.

[sAFETY]

Aside from it being the best looking fork ever made (2005 edition), I don't know if I'd call it best ever. It'll still hold it's own against all current forks for performance though (and beats most for ease of use and maintenence).

Because if thier not heavy enough you can zap strap tires to the lowers.

2002 Monster T

13lbs of love and all wet just waiting to be ridden - hard!

I had that fork on my A-Line. What a pig!

[IFO]

i think best fork ever has to go to the rock shox boXXer..

its simply been such a mainstay over the years for both serious DH racers adn for freeriders..

if i had to pick a Zokie fork i'd have to say the pre-03 Monsta's....dam near indestructible, and the weight wasnt to bad for the sheer strength they provided...

the 02 was not 13lbs, you're thinking of the new version from 03 onwards

[brentomatic]

Yup. "You are correct, sir!"

[shorelocal]

I had an '02 Shiver on my Kona Stab and I definitely wouldn't say it was my favourite ... but I'm no DH racer, so perhaps it was being underutilized.

[dirty deeds]

2002 Monster T

Fox 40 runs just as stiff and smooth but 3lbs lighter, and better external adjustability.

[jace mace]

I am still looking for one...even the gold '01, I have three 01 monsters and their steering is better, but the shiver on my bros RMX seems to suck it up better (tuning?) I still want to try a Risse Champ with the Big Daddy upgrade.

[johnathan]

Have to say shivers are the most beautiful forks on the planet (2003 or 2005 versions) beefy as hell yet with a subtle delicacy about them. Why the hell marzocchi thought it right to still produce monsters in 2006 and not shivers is beyoond me. But at the end of the day no fork has the general impact upon a bike in terms of upping the looks than that of a shiver.

[Lady Gravity]

yes

after riding the 36, i might make the upgrade to the 40 on the big bike

[Rat]

you have the R or the RC on your bike splinks?

[SysCo.]

i have a sc 5" with lock out. and must say if they made a modern version that had less flex laterally etc.. i would still pick on up

[synchro]

rc. i need to get a heavier spring for it though, the firm is too soft for my needs.

Yesterday, the best beefcake could be found on the Robson St. steps.

Moxies? good times. We own that chain as well. All food including dessert is 25% off if I'm with you.

Let's eat!

how about you just send me a vip card for both chains and that way i won't have to drag you around when i want some cheap eats?

How about some Denny's coupons?

Denny's would be better if it had the same hiring policy as Cactus Club. I liked my 02 SuperT quite a bit but this 06 Boxxer Team I just picked up is pretty badass...Wait...I mean Shivers woooooooohooooooooo.

The thought of the female Cactus Club servers gives me the shivers.

I wish the female Cactus Club servers worked inverted... just like the Shivers.

Not enough time to type out entire post. Hightlights include: 7.5 inches, pounding, inverted lubrication, tested by italians, racey, can handle the abuse, works great when mounted on pretty much anything, and best of all, tend to burb after being ridden hard.

shivers have tighter seals than the CC girls.

[apeshape]

^^^lower maintenance too.

[sleeper]

i myself love my 03 super-T and i am starting to become fond of my 05 sherman jumpers(just got them)

[SysCo.]

Shivers moan like cc girls when they get dirty too!!

[Air Supplier]

I love the black shiver sc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lady Gravity]

holy crap...i'm beginning to think i should take my shivers off my bike, people are going to think i'm gay

And is too new to be even considered.

Gay? So you're a man?

[Timmigrant]

The 04-05 Dorado TPC is the best fork I've ever ridden, and I think far sexier than the Shiver ... or any other fork for that matter.

definitly ! sincet hey puleld them from the market after alot of issues with the spv versions.. although i did like them manitou has made some dope shockssss. jumpers, the new travis.. the original flicks/firefly's

[corey@nsmb.com]

And is too new to be even considered.

This is the second year of the Fox 40. That's plenty of time to determine how they stack up against the others.

[teflon_cock]

03 Dorado - never felt a plusher fork. So much so have resisted the urge to cave into temptation with all these new fancy offerings. Love the look as well - Shivers were cool, but a carbon fibre inverted fork is dead sexier.

The great thing is OGC rebuild it every year for me for nix (until they run out of parts and patience).

[Rosscofat]

dorado and 02 monster T

[DrewM]

Shivers are still sexy.

I'd like to get my hands on one of the shorter travel (170mm) Shivers from '02.

yuk. shivers are way prettier

[zahgurim]

I've an '02, 190mm. Awesome fork. Took everything, and asked for more.

Only stopped riding it because I got hooked up with something too good to pass up, when I scored my DH setup...
Shiver is sitting in the closet, waiting for my girl to be good enough to justify it going on her bikey.

[Uncle Duke]

a public eneemy quote , I love it.

my 2004 shivers have been very good to me.

that being said, its time for a single crown..

[SysCo.]

agreed.
dont let this thread die.

[freerider4ever]

Great fork I used an 03 shiver dc for 2.5 years but the 888 kills it. Its stiffer, has better dampening, everything is better except for rebuilds. The shiver is definitely easier to change springs.

[freerider-1]

Someone told me that the internals to the Shivers never changed from year to year. Is that true?

[sAFETY]

Basically true, only very slight differences year to year.
