The striking coating of the stanchions alone trumpets it loudly: "Marzocchi is back". The first prototypes of the new 160 mm fork with 35 mm stanchions were on show at the last Eurobike. Now the enduro fork is finally coming onto the market.
The air fork will only be available for 27.5 inch wheels. It has a 15 millimetre thru-axle and can be reduced internally from 160 to 140 millimetres of travel. A closed damping cartridge (DBC: Dynamic Bleed Cartridge) works inside, with a pressure relief valve to effectively prevent an increase in pressure and thus a defect in the cartridge. Marzocchi relies on a negative spring made of titanium for smooth response behaviour and low weight. With a thru axle, the top model of the fork should only weigh 1900 grams. Marzocchi puts the price at an attractive 699 euros.
