it won't be as smooth as a Shiver because it has a air in one leg.........that how it is so lite, but I wonder what it would be like
FYI.........Marzocchi is introducing a new fork at Sea Otter......... go look at it......will but a heavy damper on Fox 40 sales (I quarantee that)...it is insane....I am not allowed to say more so don't ask

Actually thats just the air model. They have a pure coil one too!
I've heard Marzocchi is coming out with stuff for 08 that is supposed to take on Fox and RS and tear them a new one!
Marzocchi really had the market cornered until RS came along with the New Line of Motion Control forks. Everyone and their grandma has a MC Boxxer these days for DH.
I think Marzocchi had a lot of technology up their sleeves and is being forced to bring all out in this recent technology war.
Isnt Black Market on XFusion this year? Saw a blurb somewhere. I get the impression that they are really pushing to become a major suspension brand and be mentioned in the same vane as the 'top 3' (or ost visible 3)
MY impression is they're a cheesy brand trying to climb up. IMHO a name like 'X-Fusion' is a ticket to remaining perceived as junk. JUST MHO!
I still think 'Rock Shox' is pretty cheesy tho - but no where NEAR as cheesy as 'X-Fusion'
Yep Black Mrkt just signed with them.
They might be an up-and-comer but they need to build a LOT of cred to be anywhere near Marz, Fox, or RS.
Huck Banzai: Are those the "big three" you were talking about? IMO Manipoo has fallen behind big time.
RS is far from cheesy IMO and the last RS I owned was a Psylo (total crap).
It's a fine piece of crapmanship from RST that was a recall replacement for my original Hi-5. Does anyone even remember the old Hi-5? Somehow the name Delta just didn't have the panache of the Hi-5. Ahhhh...the good old days.
I don't know anything about it but I saw some REALLY early pics. I haven't heard them mentioned in the same conversation but word has it they are working on a higher-flow (more sensitive) version of the RC2 cartridge. Wouldn't surprise me if they were the same project.

They aren't a cheesy brand. I'm not sure what difference their name makes? Sure it sounds like a Wal Mart brand, but it isn't. Once more people get on them they will lose their cheesiness.
I'm pretty sure a few of the people from X-Fusion are former Fox employees, atleast their engineer is.
Their new stuff is awesome. The Vector DH2 comes stock with a TI spring, and from what I hear rides very well. (I will be on one this year)
Plus, they're dumping money into races to help push racing.
I dont know about marzocchi tearing fox and RS a new one. because a 40 would LOOK good on my bike. thats one of the reasons it will stay a fav. plus, fox has been good to me. marz hasn't. so no matter what marz comes out with, I probably wont buy it. not new at least.

Actually their from Cambell, they just relocated from Santa Cruz.
If they were from Los Gatos it would look all metro-sexual, stink of expresso, be way overpriced, and would only be rated for highly groomed trails, no rocks larger than a marbel.:nono:
