I feel like marzocchi has always made suspension and forks for people that jump everything. The open bath zs and dropoff forks were amazing for their time and alot of them still feel good to this day

I bought a bike with a Z1 on it, expecting to swap it out with my 38. Rode it once, loved it, two months down the line, I've still not swapped it, and I've put the 38 up for sale 😂 pleasantly surprised, it just works.

I love Marzzochi's new Generation. I currently own three of there products. The Legendary Bomber Z1 fork; I absolutely love it. I also have the there Bomber CR rear coil and the new Bomber Air rear shock (on a bike I have up for sale). I loved all three products and I am lucky I work in the industry so I got them at discount. To put simply, I rode fox, I rode Rock shox Ultimate, I rode DVO, cane creak and even Ohlins....they are all great but for my Riding style Marzzochi Is the brand I'm sold too. If your a hard hitting weekend shreader who wants no fuss and all ride....its Bomber or nothing.

I've been running the Z1 fork (160 travel) & Bomber Air shock (210x52.5) for the last 4 months on my gen two levo. Gotta be honest, my levo's never felt better (and I've ran premium Fox & Rockshox suspension on this bike). I think the take away feature (for me) regarding the Marzocchi suspension is that they cater for the heavier rider 'or the heavy-handed rider' who just wants to ride without compromising on time spent dialing in suspension and not achieving the same result in terms of progression, compared to a lighter rider (even after maxing out volume spacers or tokens). Great vid Drew 👍🏿

I have two identical Ripmo AFs, one with a DVO Onyx at 170 for myself, and another with a Z1 at 170 for my son. The Onyx is great, once you have everything set up right. The Z1 is so much easier to dial in because there's not much to set up. Less if more. It's just more fun.

This review came at the perfect time. Going to grab a Z1 and Air shock for my Stumpy while they are 20% off. Excellent review!!!

I just built a new ride with a Manitou Mezzer Expert. After 4 rides, the simplicity of a fork without all the bells and whistles is a nice change. They just work.

The Z1 price performance is exceptionally great and the set it and forget it for more miles with smiles alone is enough for someone to get it

Simplicity is a great reason to get this for a more casual rider like me

Would love to see a review on the Bomber CR coil shock and Fox DHX vs DHX2

32, 34, 36, 38 ... volume spacers... Marzocchi treating riders like recreational dirt riders - set it and for get it is more fun that you know! I've been messing with forks since Judy SL #1 - remember elastomer springs? hahahaha! Hell I'm still running a 2008 Roco tst2 AIR and Bomber 55 air with TST - are they perfect ? no but I get them to do what I need after a few hacks. This came in time seeing how well over $2,000 just for forks and shock is crazy for a avg rider. Over kill and not needed. I'm surprised there aren't more aftermarket fork kits for better conversions, like better speed sensitive valving that actuality works. But what do I know? Everyone what to be a racer !

I love how Marzocchi is part of one of the big two

I love the Z1 coil on my firebird.

Considering Marzocchi are owned by Fox , it’s no surprise they offer good performance vrs the cost . My current Scott strike eride 930 has Marzocchi and Iv been impressed vrs my fox suspension on my outgoing bike

They're both 20% off right now very tempted to scoop them up.

What is it like compared to the Lyric and Zeb? The Select models have simple adjustments and are in the same price point as the Marz, and probably lighter. I always rode Fox, but I am a Rock Shox convert now.

Marz coil is the best fork out there. Most buttery.

Saving up for a Z1 so I can upgrade my hardtail :)

Hope your having a great Thanksgiving

Since these z1 forks don’t have bleed ports should I be concerned about access air pressure ?

Been wanting to make this upgrade, and the fork is on sale right now but I still can’t afford it…😢

I Have A 160 Z1 On My CF Warden And Its Awesome Have 1000km On It . It's A 60kmh to 100kmh Fork I Ride Vancouver 😎

This fork is on my wishlist for the holidays - I want to replace my 22 Stumpjumper Alloy’s RS 35 with this in 150mm. Good choice?

Probably good suspension from Marzocchi. But it's a shame it costs more than Ultimate level Rockshox in EU.

So is the Z1 comparable to Fox's Performance line with the regular GRIP damper? Is it the same?

I have 36 rhythm and float x performance😂 basically the same thing

You can get a gen 2 Zeb for this price tho.

Should I get a z1 air for a banshee paradox hardtail. The prices are too darn good on jensonusa page. I am intrigued by the price and many years ago we use to ride marzocchi. Or should I just get something better

Way cool, super expensive brand compared to bargain brand. Score easy to adjust, easy to maintain.

can you do a fork comparisson with mazocchi, sr santour, x fusion etc?

What's the difference between Z1 and Z2? Thanks!

I see you rocking the Luella's BBQ shirt from Asheville. I live 5 minutes from there. Great food 👍

man i need to put my lyrik in the trash. had a 55 rc3 evo on my last bike and this fork did everything better than the lyrik.

Great forks. Until the bushings fail prematurely, which has happened with both my Marzocchi and Fox 36 Rhythm forks sub-700 miles. Both warrantied, but I don’t have much faith in this version of the GRIP damper.

Let me get this straight. If I want a set-and-forget fork, with all benefits of Fox availability, and durability and ownership being most important, this is THE fork ? Thinking about a 150mm as upgrade. Let's face it. Too weighty and too amateur to being bothered about the fiddley bits and small weight differences to Fox, for the few rides I get... 😅

I dislike my z2. I disliked the fox 36 for the same reason. They harsh. Removing Volume spacers helps a little. The hsc and lsc on my fox had to be adjusted every time the temperatures changed 10 degrees. My z2 hates cold weather. The z1 coil is tempting but at 700$ it’s crossed in to the non budget range. The lyric I replaced my z2 with has been much more compliant and supple and predictable. The DVO onyx I replaced my 36 with is absolutely amazing. I have no gripes with the fox rear shocks but their forks are starting to seem dated. And the idea of “Budget” is a little out of range for most riders to just upgrade. 90% of riders stick with their OEM forks until they buy a new bike.

Is the marzocchi bomber air recommended on full size emtb? I have a hard time believing that it’s any different than a float x.

"Alternative to the big two companies" "Marzocchi is owned by Fox" 😂 Okay

Nice shirt. 2nd best bbq in town.
