Hey Im looking to rebuild my light freeride bike for cheap, (ride mostly bmx). I came across a Marzocchi 55 R series fork on sale. I dont see this fork on their website. so Im wondering if this is an OEM fork... or another name for one of the "real" 55's.

If you know anything about the fork plz comment, and review it.

If you have other suggestions for a fork plz post, (ps the fork is selling for 400$... so dont recommend me 900$ forks).

i don't know anything about the 55r but i bet you can find a good deal on a rockshox domain. ive tried them and they're suprisingly nice. i thought since they're somewhat budget oriented they would feel cheap but they're very plush. i don't know if that interests you but i imagine they can be found for cheap

Cheap is good, and as for fork quality... as long as its better than a manitou stance than im good for it.

then i would definitely recommend that you look into trying to find a domain. would look for the 318 though because the compression adjustment it has would be nice for free ride

I would highly recommend a Fox 32 Vanilla R.
A bit more, but highly worth it.
