Is Marzocchi going to be bought up ?

[Dirt Dud]

So we all have these forks on our bikes and they are out of business , now what ? Has anyone showed an interest in picking up the the pieces and turning around the company ? Just selling the replacement parts should be a great business rite . Has there been any talk about it ?

They just stopped making dirt bike forks. They are still heavy in the mtn bike world.

So what about parts down the road ? And what the heck are they going to put on the new Gasgas bikes ? Sacks , ohlins ,white power ,sss ,kayaba, showa, or will they have leftover marzocchi forks ? I would love to see sss forks and other high quality parts on the new bikes ! I am looking forward to how the new owners decide on the quality of the parts they put on the new bikes .I have enjoyed my Gasgas bikes so far both trials and enduro lines , so I am sure that the new bikes will be up to par with what brought us to the brand in the first place .

Would be a safe bet to assume you will see Sachs suspension on all future gassers.

It would be nice to see reiger or ohlins. Something not stock on other bikes

Someone mentioned that Zip-Ty Racing bought the dirt bike side of Marzocchi.
Don't know if it's true or not.

That means they would be made in the USA

Zip ty has exaggerated their role with marzocchi in the pasr. Eg calling themselves the importer for marzocchi when they were not. I would consider the marzocchi dirt bIke fork dead.. this has been going this way for a long time. Marzocchi USA dumped their stock of motorcycle parts a few years ago. Les at lt racing bought a bunch of stuff from them at the time. They just wanted the stuff off the books.

My advice on the forks is the following.... some vendors have figured out parts interchange with other more available models. Parts are available for the marzocchi through husqvarna ktm for now. After that, both this forum and ebay for gasgas part outs. Ebay for Japanese fork setups aND swaps.....

I don't have a gasgas right now. I have a husky and an xr. The husky has 50mm twin chambers. The xr280 has open chamber 45 zokes. I also have a new set of ohlins for the front but haven't put them on jn a while. my feeling is ride it until I wear them out. Then worry about it. Don't worry about it now and just ride.

There was a story pop up on my LinkedIn last Thursday, stating the company had been sold and the workers jobs had been saved but it did not give any details as to the future product. I had to use Google Translation to read the write up, then when I came back to the story...it was gone. Stupid me didn't save the link and now can't find the story anywhere.

As for what suspension GG will use moving forward, I am told it will not be Sachs, and we should hear news of which brand will be used on the new bikes sometime in Jan.

For me, I was very vocal in requesting KYB front and rear BUT...I wouldn't be surprised to see Ohlins used.
