TECHNICAL INFORMATION

2.1 Spring system

Inside MARZOCCHI forks you will fi nd coil springs, or air,
used as suspension mechanism.

2.2 Damping system

The damping load that is generated during compression and
rebound of the fork legs can be adjusted by hydraulic valve
pumping rods, or by special cartridges.
TST5: The TST5 system uses a sealed cartridge with
a rubber lung for oil collection. The TST5 cartridge is
provided with a rebound adjuster in the lower area and
a 5-position compression adjuster in the upper area. The
5th position corresponds to blocking.
ATA offers the user all the benefi ts of our proven Doppio
Air system, with external travel adjustment. 8 turns
increase the travel of 40mm. Progressive air automatically
compensates to travel changes. Low turning force on the
adjuster means that travel can be changed quickly and
easily. With BOTTOM OUT AIR CHAMBER you can set
up progressivity at the end of travel.
The TST2 system uses a serviceable sealed cartridge
providing 2 positions of compression adjustment. The
TST cartridge is provided with a rebound adjuster in the
lower area, a 2-position and lock out in the upper area.
The SFA system (Single Function Air), by means of a
unique valve, allows the simultaneous adjustment of the
positive and negative air chambers. With the PAR valve
you can set up progressivity at the end of travel.
This new system allows for control of the rebound and
compression damping by means of two external adjusters,
as well as of the spring preload.
52
This system is the evolution of RC2 system with an extra
X-cartridge on the left leg for the control of the fork's
compression at travel end.
Each rider can adjust the spring preload and the air
volume by simply turning the knobs. By increasing
preload the air volume is reduced, and the rider can have
more progressivity without the need to open the fork or
put stiffer springs.
By simply using the command during ascent, the
suspension will compress to the ideal height (depending
on the riders' weight). Unlike a traditional locking system,
when activated, the ETA system allows 30mm travel to
overcome small obstacles and improve comfort respect
to a total lock.
With its speed type valves, the RV (Rebound Valve)
system permits the control of compression and rebound
speed based on the fork's accomplished travel. The
RV pumping rods are equipped with rebound adjusters
(internal or external).
By virtue of its speed type valves, the RCV (Rebound
Compression Valve) system permits the control of
compression and rebound speed based on the fork's
accomplished travel. The RCV pumping rods are
equipped with compression and rebound external
adjusters.
