Looks great, exactly what they needed for those of us not wanting to throw a 66 on a 5" trail bike. That weight sure is pretty nice, wonder if that includes the steerer tube.

No doubt it'll be pricey, but the Lyrik and the 36 certainly aren't cheap either and I'm sure that's exactly what Marzocchi is going after. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to wait long enough for it to upgrade my el-cheapo Z1 (nothin but a spring and some oil). Rebound? What's that?

Goddamn Marzocchi, enough already! Im sure this fork will be $800+. I used to be fascinated with every component from every company, but the industry is saturated with too much crap. Im over it!

Is Marz getting a little more organic in their designs, that fork doesn't look as tough as previous Marz forks.

I've already asked Santa for mine.

Even if it is $800..sadly it's still cheaper than a Lyrik or the Fox 36 equivalent. Hopefully it's about the same price as the 66 SL. (which is going for about $750 now?)

The picture in the press release is a little different than what the prototype looks like. No pinch bolts since they shouldn't be needed with a QR20.



Another picture!

Sure is purdy, but I don't think the performance will match the price...as previously stated...I'm over it!

35mm Nickel coated stantions @ 4.97lbs That's awesome BUT a 5.5 lb 66sl is awesomer. I hope they start nickel coating all of their premier forks.
