5.3.3 RC2

Available adjusters
Rebound brake knob
Compression brake knob
This new system concept allows rebound and compression
using two external adjusters.

5.3.3.1 Rebound adjustment

Using the expansion adjuster located in the upper part of the
right fork leg, it is possible to control the fork rebound speed
following compression
A correct adjustment of the rebound speed allows you to
have a stable bike whose wheel can properly react to
obstacles on the trail.
If the adjustment is too reactive, the forecarriage becomes
unstable and the mountain bike may swing. Conversely, a
rebound speed that is too slow makes overcoming multiple
obstacles diffi cult. This is because the suspension cannot
go back to a completely extended position between each
obstacle.
• By turning the adjuster clockwise, you increase the
hydraulic damping making the fork slower during the
rebound phase.
• By turning the adjuster counter-clockwise, you reduce the
hydraulic damping making the fork more reactive during
the rebound phase.

5.3.3.2 Compression adjustment

You can control the compression speed through the
compression adjuster, located in the lower part of the right
fork leg. The compression adjustment can be done according
to the user's needs, but it must be adjusted to a setting that
will prevent the fork from "bottoming.".
• By turning the adjuster clockwise, you increase the
hydraulic damping during the compression phase.
• By turning the adjuster counter-clockwise, you reduce the
hydraulic damping during the compression phase.

If your fork "bottoms" out, immediately adjust the
compression adjustment or check the oil height of the
fork. Incorrect compression adjust can result in fork
damage, an accident, personal injury or death. Adjusting
your oil height should be conducted by an authorized or
knowledgable suspension service technician.
A "hard" compression adjustment offers more stability, and
allows for a more aggressive riding style by making the
mountain bike more reactive. A "softer" adjustment offers less
stability with the advantage of a less "nervous" riding style.

Sometimes changing the oil height may be necessary
to obtain a perfect setting. Adjusting the oil height should
be conducted by an authorized Marzocchi service center.
Please address to an authorized Marzocchi service center if
you require a different oil height.
