Marzocchi are generally regarded as the most reliable forks on the market you idiot.

Not any more

fair shout that is pretty funny, :L

lewboy30 (Apr 11, 2010 at 12:59)

i find marzocchi always bust up some way but ive never seen one snap

alexblayden (Jun 21, 2010 at 6:05)

true

webber123 (Jul 16, 2010 at 7:39)

Ive snapped 3 marzocchi, 2 dirt jumpers at the arch and a Z1 at the steerer tube. Pics in my profile. But marzocchi are still amazingly bomb proof and will run for for longer then any other fork without a service.

WAKIdesigns (Aug 31, 2010 at 3:14)

2005 - 2006 Marzocchi 888, 66 and Z1 series are the best performing, most reliable forks with reasonable weight that have ever been produced for gravity use, period.

2009+ Fox 40s and 36 float/van are the only ones coming close, and only because of the weight.

fail.

JesseBMXs (Jun 4, 2011 at 19:13)

^ i agree

adamb999 (Jan 18, 2012 at 15:24)

Is Marzocchi bad ? hmm ... http://www.pinkbike.com/video/231278/ so... What do u tell me about this great fork -_- ?

tom-cuthbert (Mar 4, 2010 at 2:38)

Good compliment to specialized though, most of the time the headtube is the thing to snap.

+ 46

deathsfallen (Mar 4, 2010 at 8:46)

demo's were named one of the strongest things ever built, according to testing they said it takes the weight of a car pressure wise to snap it

Caiokv (Mar 4, 2010 at 11:48)

and thats a 2007 or 2006 marzo right?
it is not that new...

webber123 (Mar 4, 2010 at 13:29)

Not often you see a snapped 888. Nice work.

Lenny-Twenny (Mar 5, 2010 at 12:04)

'Nice Work' ahaha Smile

ali-chapple (Mar 16, 2010 at 16:03)

dam it! I'm wanting to crack my demo so I can get a warranty replacement. after seeing this its not likely!

jezzah (Mar 17, 2010 at 0:33)

They never go at the headtube

webber123 (Mar 17, 2010 at 1:40)

Never say never, but ive yet to see one. I know they get tested to mad limits.

tom-cuthbert (Mar 17, 2010 at 2:59)

Looking at it, it's an 06-07 Demo 9, those things are built like brick shit-houses, you'd have to case a fricken 50ft gap at the red bull rampage to break one of THEM bro.

+ 23

Caiokv (Mar 17, 2010 at 9:52)

but you would not survive, to get warranty...

Dirt-time (Mar 1, 2010 at 6:27)

Some guy told me that he did the chicken run at the bottom and another guy did the road gap and landed on him on the table at the end...

nickrace17 (Mar 1, 2010 at 10:57)

none of those, he came up short on one of the ladders on ladder alley, back wheel behind the landing and front wheel on it. Suprisingly he managed to stay on the bike.

jezzah (Mar 4, 2010 at 5:16)

I saw that crash where one guy landed on the other.. bloody hell
