Fork tuning: Marzocchi
A perfectly tuned fork in no time at all. In the first part of our fork workshop series, we take a look at three Marzocchi forks.

Even the most experienced mechanic is put off by 200 pages of operating instructions. However, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" doesn't help either. The various setting options influence each other too much. In our series, we show you how to do it right in just a few steps. Forks from the Italian manufacturer Marzocchi are particularly tricky. There are no less than four different air chambers on the widely ridden "Marathon SL" from the 2005 and 2006 model years. The current "Corsa SL Worldcup" and "XC 700" models are much less complicated. But here too, there are a few crucial things to bear in mind. We asked Marzocchi professional Thomas Kroll from German importer Cosmic Sports to show us the correct tuning steps.


MARATHON SL With lowering function for marathon racers.

To adjust the "Doppio Air" air chambers, you need a long and a short suspension fork pump adapter. This is included with the fork.
