"Marzocchi’s built the ultimate all-around performer. It’s more than just an all-mountain fork. This is the fork for uphills, downhills and even light freeride. Just point it and it will go. The 55 series has as much technology as a NASA rocket and it’s probably just as fast."

|---|---|---|
| Price | $899 | |
| Weight | 2800 g | |

|
| Spring | Coil | |
| Crown | Single | |
| Rebound | Yes |
Rebound - is how quick your fork returns to a fully extended position after being compressed. Almost all after-market forks feature external rebound adjustment for easy fine tuning.

| Damping | Rc3 |
Damping - The process of absorbing the energy of impacts transmitted through the forks or rear shock during the compression stroke, and absorbing the energy of the spring during the rebound stroke.
|
| DropOut Options | 20mm | |
| Compression | Hi-Lo Auto Compression Adj Air Preload |
Compression - This is the damping circuit that absorbs the compression energy force on the damper. Compression damping is used to adjust how quickly a fork or rear shock compresses when hitting a bump, and is adjustable on some products. When compression damping is too soft, this condition allows most of the available travel to be used without attaining control of the wheel. When it's adjusted too firmly, the wheel will jump or "dance" about when hitting small bumps, again failing to gain control of the wheel.
