| These tough bouncers have the travel to soak up big hits while retaining the sensitivity for little hits and stiffness you need to climb. |
| TRAVEL 130mm | WEIGHT 4.5lbs/2040g | FUNCTION | This year Marzocchi technology creates a do all fork which can perform in all situations. Ideal if you want to climb up the hill and bomb down the most direct route. For the way up it features the new Extension Control Cartridge (ECC) which locks the fork into the compressed state. This doesn't just end bobbing on the climbs but also steepens the head tube angle for better steering, and reduces ride height for better climbing. All through a simple turn of the knob. On the way down it uses a High Speed Compression Valve (HSCV) which means that the fork can allow the fork to compress rapidly when hitting the larger hits but as soon as the force alleviates the shims flex back to slow the compression of the fork. It also lightens the valving to improve small bump sensitivity and make the fork less affected by braking. It is coil sprung and has external preload and rebound control to tune the fork to how you ride and the terrain. Marzocchi forks use an open bath system which constantly lubes the moving par | CONSTRUCTION | The characteristic M Power Wrap Arch has sleek aesthetic lines which conceal rigidity and strength. It wraps around the outer leg to eliminate independent leg movement and improve steering precision. The crown is fitted to the stanchions via the cryofit process that is stronger than bolts or glue, aswell as being lighter. It also has tough 30mm stanchions for strength. | MAINTENANCE | Using the open bath damping system reduces the need for maintenance of the fork by constantly lubing the moving parts, and also means that the oil acts as a coolant. When the ECC locks out the fork, the bushings are locked in an overlapped state which further decreases the need for maintenance by reducing the wear on them. The coil springs on the bomber are made from the highest grade CRSI wire which provides an active feel and lasts. | | This year Marzocchi forks have the technology to do it all. Which is exactly what you want when you freeride - this coil sprung bouncer is as good on the way up as it is at soaking up hits on the way down |
