RaceCo Dispels Marzocchi Rumors
Race Company, an official distributor of the Marzocchi brand, wants to clarify the recent rumors about financial difficulties and the future of the mountain bike division:
"Even though Marzocchi faces complicated economic times, the brand is more determined than ever to move forward. Just like what was done with the 888 RC3 EVO Titanium V2, the Italian firm has every intention to continue its quest for excellence and wants to reassure all consumers of the adventure initiated in 1949.
The information published in the local newspaper at the origin of the rumor came from a note sent by a union in conflict with the company's management. It does reflect reality in any way. At no time did Marzocchi plan to cease operations or to end its investment in mountain biking. The 2012 range is currently available will certainly not be the last of this industry giant.."
There has been no official statement made by Marzocchi yet.

Marzocchi should be the king
i'm sick of no oil shit cartridge forks. i wanna ride not fix my stuff
however, they did make the shittiest forks the worlds ever seen from 08 till just recently
new stuff looks like the tits though
feels good too
and its oil bath without all the weight of full mega moto oil bath. this is what consumers should ask their companies for instead of saving a bit of weight and increasing maintenance i million times over.
they need to realize what real riders want instead of listening to what product managers think they want

More to be revealed. After the crap they dumped on the market a few years ago, I'd say the jury shoulds till be out on this one.
"There has been no official statement made by Marzocchi yet."
I hope they stick it out. No one else has the guts to make titanium sprung trail forks with moto-valving and plenty of oil to keep it all cool and stiction free. Hope it works out for them/us.
