I.II General safety recommendations
Marzocchi Rear Suspension Systems are designed for
different riding styles. Some are designed to only absorb
the shocks of an uneven road surface in order to give the
rider more control over his bicycle. Others are designed for
other purposes. You must select and use the correct rear
suspension system for your style of riding. Read and follow
the "Intended Use Instructions" in this manual. Failure to
select and properly use the correct rear shock could result in
an accident, personal injury or death.
Please note that there are inherent risks associated with
downhill, freeride, cross-country, marathon, trekking, dirt
jumping, and urban style riding. Severe injury or death could
result from these riding styles. Learn how to ride, never ride
beyond your capabilities, be sure to use the proper safety
equipment, and be sure that all your riding equipment is
in excellent condition. The lifespan of Marzocchi products
depends on many factors, such as riding style and riding
conditions. Impacts, falls, improper use, or harsh use in
general, may compromise the structural integrity of the
suspension system and signifi cantly reduce its lifespan. The
suspension system is also subject to wear over time. Please
have your bicycle regularly inspected by a qualifi ed mechanic
