I have a new single speed on the way and I want to replace the stock rigid fork with a 100mm-travel Marzocchi. Thought I understood their different damping mechanisms until I saw their new webpage.

Which is Marzocchi's "nicer" damping? The two forks I'm looking at are the MX Pro w/ ETA and the MX Comp w/ ETA. THe MX Pro is listed as having SSVF Hydraulic damping and the MX Comp has open bath SSV Hydraulic damping.

Any insite?

Thanks!

The SSVF is supposed to respond better to small inputs, little bumps. The cartridge allows you to adjust the rebound damping with out opening up the fork.
The SSV is simpler, but adjustments are made by playing with oil height and weight, and adjusting the valve port size.
