From 'another' site. Max's Cannondale Dave has a revised looking Bomber DJ .... new air cap and Damper adjuster. Very different decals and Gloss CSU and Lowers. Current bomber DJ's are on a mega sale .... Makes me think Marzocchi is getting more hand-me-down tech from Fox, since it's seems like Fox is refreshing their damper/(forks?) range ....
Maybe Marzocchi will be getting a refresh across the board around the same time and maybe the Marzocchi Super Z (38mm) will be released at the same time.
Speaking of the new Super Z ....
Is that really the weight!?? (Starting weight of 2180grams apparently) .... if so that would be awesome to have something that looks so sick, also not be as flippen heavy as the ZEB or Fox38 ....
*EDIT. Other site info from "The Lost Co" comment: lighter+different spring plus the obvious GripX make it lighter by 200g compared to a fox38 .... makes a nice option.
Lower weight means better maneuverability (during air time especially) btw ....
So Fox indeed produced a onsie for dh. I thought this was still forbidden by the rules, maybe something will change. MX and DH are now at such a level of athleticism that it is not a surprise to see this kind of sport gear. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5oI803JqEW/?igsh=MXB0dWlhZ2xvcTBwdw==

This could be awesome, I wonder if it’ll have the adjustability of their other bikes, and I wonder if the rear travel will change? 140 rear travel although a small change would make it an even more capable all rounder.

“Tacky” isn’t just for dirt anymore. The gold on gold is objectively bad. That the dampers fit existing forks is great—an admittedly low bar but that’s what mtb manufacturers have done to us. I’ll put one in a fork and pretend I can tell what’s going on for sure. But if it were only offered in the gold/gold, I’d be rattle canning that thing immediately. No more needs to be said.
I am honestly surprised the dampers fit existing forks. That has not been the way with fox as of late.

I am honestly surprised the dampers fit existing forks. That has not been the way with fox as of late.
i have a Raaw Madonna frame on its way to me currently and needed a fork for it. I knew fox and RS both have new dampers on the way and I actually went ZEB for this exact reason. Assuming i wouldn’t be able to swap a new damper in the 38, and would be able to on the zeb. Oh well. We’ll see how the new RS damper is soon enough.
Huh ?
Fox forks are actually pretty exemplary as far as backwards compatibility of dampers go. I have a what is now a 3 generations old RC2 damper in a '23 36 chassis for example.

Last Weekend a friend send me a picture of a sram employee with a nukeproof giga and Vivid and ZEB flight attendend. He was riding in a Bikepark in Germany. So it is not really a secret. And could be released soon

2.5 dhr2 is lovely, ‘bout time. But 2.4 front/ 2.3 rear dhr2 is already dope if you can still manage to find a 25mm ID rim on the rear of your bike.
Bringing back non-wt 2.4” product would be even better for people that haven’t bought into the wide rim trend, but, alas I guess 30mm id is here to stay?

To me it looks like ebikes have been the driver for Maxxis to make the DHRII available to the public in 2.5 and/or with harder compounds in DH casings. Shame we could have gotten there earlier with existing demand but beggars can’t be choosers.

That's all the part numbers and options…
That's odd, I only see the 27.5x2.5 before clicking the box. When the drop down opens though, no listing. I'm on mobile using Chrome.

Vivid air and Zeb Flight Attendant already out...

That's a Super Deluxe...
No DHR 2 in 2.50 width in the list for me.
Another choice in that same category and cheaper:
Eliminator Grid Gravity 2Bliss Ready T7/T9 (specialized.com)
Terrible tires. EXO weight sidewalls and wire bead = squirmy POS that hurts to install.
try scrolling up in the drop down… at first i couldn‘t find it either.
edit: ok funny, can‘t see it on PC with chrome but works on iphone with safari.
