Pretty big news in the MTB suspension world as FOX acquires Marzocchi's MTB product lines. Read the press release below

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif., Oct. 19, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fox Factory Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:FOXF) ("FOX") today announced, that through certain of its subsidiaries, it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire certain specified assets of Marzocchi's mountain bike product lines. The Marzocchi business designs and manufactures motor bike and mountain bike suspension products. FOX expects the transaction to close in Q4 2015 and it is subject to customary closing conditions and is not expected to have a material impact on its anticipated financial results in either fiscal 2015 or 2016.

"We are excited to announce the agreement to acquire certain assets of the Marzocchi mountain bike product lines, which we believe is a significant opportunity for FOX to further expand the penetration of our bike suspension products across more price points," stated Larry L. Enterline, FOX's Chief Executive Officer. "The Marzocchi team has a long history of performance suspension experience and we believe that this highly complementary transaction will allow for the increased growth of the Marzocchi brand worldwide. We expect this transaction will bring together and strengthen two highly complementary product lines and allow for FOX to leverage its marketing, engineering, distribution, and supply chain resources to drive increased top-line growth and profitability."

FOX expects to report fiscal third quarter 2015 earnings results in early November and plans to provide additional financial and transactional details at that time."

Easton is going to get back into frames soon, and marz-face is going to start making brakes.

$2k Carbon enduro bikes are right around the corner.

yeah, there isn't much benefit to marzocchi fans, all two of us. i'm guessing fox is going to hog the new expresso dropper marz was flaunting, and marz will become the low end line of the fox empire. either that, or they might market marz products as "freeride" friendly, and go full lightweight on the fox stuff. FOX=race, Marz=Hux.

Either way, fox wins...hard to complain about as both of my bikes have fox on the front, and one has fox on the rear.

Couple observations -

* We haven't heard anything from @Udi
* A "3" can be changed to a "6" pretty easily with a sharpie and some tape/razor blade
* It wouldn't be hard to make a preload adjustment knob with a raised "M" as the grip point

Thusly, it seems clear that Fox is not only bringing Marz into the fold, but Udi as well so that he can formally design a coil sprung 36, which of course will be christened Fox 66. Woo and SteveM will collaborate on the M-cap design.

Oh shit, I think I've said too much :doh:

Leaky models? I thought Fox left that in the past with the 2007 36s...
Just weeping then?



Either way I am more interested in what happens when their cans get stuck down.


These issues could all be fixed, haven't owned a new fox product in a decade.

They make do with occasional shaft lubrication just like the forks.

Also sometimes clapped out from the factory...just like the forks.
