new 48mm Marzocchi forks??

[Dave A]

Has anyone ridden the new 48mm Marzocchi's???? If so, please post your experience with them. There are already a few in the states and a friend just got his 250 Race last week. I'm really interested to know if they are as good as what i'm hearing.

They are good but stiff...

I have one.
The fork is stiff when you push it but when you ride, the fork is very very very good!!! I like it, it is the best stock fork I have ever ridden

Yes definitly good. I have only 5,5 hours on mine. But it need revalve (and maybe new springs) to my ridding style (160lb) and trails with rocks and roots.

That's not many hours yet. I wouldn't start worrying about it till maybe 15-20 hours breakin. That will also give the rear linkage bearings etc and shock a chance to free up. It can be hard to differentiate between front and rear problems sometimes. I know I found this to be the case with mine.

OK. Fine. Just starting to play with cliks too.
Let?s see.
