Yeah, good point. It's probably like 7 pounds with the right oil height etc. I wanna ride one regardless though.

Really? On a digi scale? I find that hard to believe although you generally know what's up.

Hmm I will try to motivate to pull it off my bike and get an exact weight on my digi. I changed my post above to add 'ish' as i am sure that is not exactly 7.500000 lbs, and I know that everyone will bust my ballz if it is not exact. It was a while ago (begining of season) when I weighed it, and I was kind of surprised.

Do you want the fork to 'hold' the doughnut or you want to see the pic while you are eating one??

FIX THIS PAGE!!!!

its in line with my findings on the subject, without a stem i get readings of around 3350g and thats 7,4lbs.
losing the 300g of springs and some oil, i can see how the sl ata is under 3000g.

The Z1 family is reduced to just 2 models : Z1 RC2 ETA and the Z1 SPORT RV.
And 3 '66's and there's no aftermarket 66RV, only OEM ?

Is the Air 888 the flagship DH fork or is the WC the flagship??
Click to expand...
The WC is the flagship, however the SL (air) is by far the superior fork. Also notice that on the site the SL is listed as 6.5lbs, and the WC isn't give a weight.

Fact of the matter is, converting two springs that weigh a measly 139g each into Ti isn't going to save much weight at all.

The SL does the right thing by ditching the useless end stroke compression cartridge and doing something more useful with the leg - oh, and getting rid of the springs all together in the process. :)

No more Monster...
Click to expand...

monster was dropped last year, the 4x fork is all brand new, not really replacing the dj1, it does exist but just like this year, you yanks wont get it unless you buy it from europe.

the 888sl ata fork will cost just a few bucks more than the current rc2x whereas the 888 world cup will be a bit more expensive.

What's the differance between the Rocco WC 07 and Rocoo 06?

and the TST R?
Click to expand...
the wc07 afaik the 06 roco. the roco tst has a different compression valve and adjuster making it have a bigger range of adjustment suitable for all mountain riding.

Awesome - ETA is now voice activated!!!

From Marzocchi website:


ETA

By simply using the command during ascent, the suspension will compress to the ideal height (depending on the riders’ weight). Unlike a traditional locking system, when activated, the ETA system allows 30mm travel to overcome small obstacles and improve comfort respect to a total lock.

well.... not every person born to this world, gets the english language with his breast milk.

having said that, one could expect the aforementioned fact, not to be evident in the italian-to-english translation of a website that belongs to a company like marzocchi, but, then again, it does give the whole thing a certain italian flavor, doesnt it?

The mint DJ won't coming to the US... I was happy we made that choice once we saw the Rock Shox line.

As for the 4x fork, it is based off the All Mountain platform to keep the weight down, so as a dirt jumping fork, that would be at your own risk..

It's like the horrible bastard child of the neon yellow Reba I once owned and the vomit-colored All-Mountain forks of 2005...

Brian, why must you insist on making the forks I am most interested in so heinously ugly?

Baby Jesus cries when he sees that color.
Click to expand...

it fits in with the general retroness theme of it all,

the orange is the same color found on the original z1 that came out 10 years ago, and the XC line has the same names as the original pre bomber line of xc forks.

plus the super is brought back.


btw did anyone notice the claimed weight for the corsa wc? looks like my SID SL-ti is going to get axed...
