INTENDED USE INSTRUCTIONS
SELECT THE CORRECT FORK FOR
YOUR RIDING STYLE AND RIDE
PROPERLY
Marzocchi suspension forks are among the
most durable and technologically advanced
forks on the market today. However, no fork can
withstand misuse, abuse or improper use that,
over a short period of time, can cause your forks
to fail when you least expect it.
It is critical that you select and use the fork that
is appropriate for your riding style, and that you
use the fork properly.
1. Identify Your Riding Style:
Trekking
: Trekking is similar to XC riding but
not as aggressive as XC. It involves slower
riding and no riding over obstacles such as
rocks, roots, or depressions. You should only
attach generators and racks to the designated
mounting points provided on the forks. Never
make any modification to your fork to attach any
equipment.
Cross Country (XC)/Marathon
: Riding along
hilly trails where some bumps and smaller
obstacles, such as rocks, roots, or depressions,
may be encountered. XC riding does not
include jumps or “drops” (riding off rocks, fallen
trees or ledges) from any height. XC forks must
only be used with tires specifically designed for
cross country riding, or disk, rim or linear pull
brakes.
Free Ride (FR)
: This riding style is for skilled
riders and involves aggressive slopes, large
obstacles, and moderate jumps. Free Ride
forks should be used only with disk brakes as
well as frames, wheels and other components
specifically designed for Free Riding. The disk
brakes must be attached to the designated
mounting points provided on the fork. Never
make any modification to your fork to attach any
equipment.
Dirt Jumper (DJ) / Urban Riding
: This “BMX”
or “motocross” style riding is only for the most
skilled riders and involves jumping from one
mound of dirt to another. It also includes riding
over and around “urban obstacles” such as
man-made or other concrete structures. These
forks should be used only with disk brakes, as
well as frames, wheels and other components
specifically designed for this riding style. The
disk brakes must be attached to the designated
mounting points provided on the fork. Never
make any modification to your fork to attach any
equipment.
Down Hill (DH) / Extreme Free Ride
: This
discipline is only for professional or highly skilled
riders. It includes for relatively high jumps or
“drops” and negotiating larger obstacles such as
boulders, fallen trees or holes. These forks
should be used only with disk brakes, as well as
frames, wheels and other components
specifically designed for this riding style. The
disk brakes must be attached to the designated
mounting points provided on the fork. Never
make any modification to your fork to attach any
equipment.
WARNING
Ride only in areas specifically designated for
your riding style.
