That is crazy heavy for a SC fork. As this was supposed to be Marzocchi's fork to stick it up Manitou and prove 1.5" steerers aren't the best way to go for long travel single crown forks, I'd have to say they failed pretty miserably. That's (at a very conservative measure) a good pound heavier than a Sherman, so the argument that a comparable fork could be built with a 1 1/8" steerer seems to be pretty much a lie. Also, it might just be me but is that paintjob not one of the ugliest to ever grace a production fork?
Oh well, I suppose the proof will be in the ride though and I'll reserve judgement on these until I actually get a chance to ride a pair.

Here's a pic of a Z150 on a Le Toy nicked off the ridemonkey forums, proof they exist in the real world at last. The guy who owns this bike is claiming a weight of 6.2 pounds on a digital scale including the thru axle, which is a much more respectable weight in my books.
