Millimeter offsets, while 27.5-inch wheel sliders only have the 44-millimeter option. Admittedly, there will be some emulsion (air bubbles mixing with the oil), but Marzocchi suspension engineers say that the length of the stanchion tube and the location of the rebound damper at the bottom of the oil column allows the most important function of the damping system to operate in fluid that has released most or all of its bubbles.ДЄs mentioned, the Bomber Z2 has the basic damping and air spring adjustments: low-speed rebound below the right slider, a 'Sweep' low-speed compression dial up top/ remove the air cap on the left side of the crown and the Z2 accepts standard Fox air volume adjustment spacers. The Z2's damper has no bladder or pressurized compensating piston to separate the oil from mixing with air inside the fork. That reduces the parts and weight, while increasing the volume of fluid inside the damper. Rail damper: Instead of sliding a separate damping cartridge into the right fork leg, Marzocchi configured the Rail damper to operate inside the stanchion tube. There are no indexing clicks - similar to the original. The Rail damper's compression dial offers a useful range of tuning options. Bombers use a black anodized surface treatment that traps lubricant. Reportedly, the Z2 fork, while slightly heavier than the Fox 34, is also stiffer. The damper side needed to be a bit thicker walled because the Rail damper actually operates on its inside diameter.

Thicker fork legs: In part, to reduce the expense of the Z2, Marzocchi uses thicker walled 6000 series alloy stanchion tubes. That, and the Bomber Z2's refreshing, $499 USD sticker price are poised to shake up the performance suspension marketplace. Fewer parts, spot-on damping, and simplified adjustments that provide clear feedback are Marzocchi's formula for success. The Z2's 'less is more' design strategy distills the body of knowledge suspension experts have learned from the recent enduro/all-mountain epoch, then hard-wires those improvements into the fork's internals. Your fancy fork may have five dials, each with 20 clicks, but 19 of them are going to be wrong. The idea was to both modernize and maximize the Z2's performance, and deliver it at a more realistic MSRP than today's super-forks are asking. From there, however, they took a turn from their parent company, weeding out over-complicated damping and adjustment features that could be replaced with simpler, more robust and user-friendly options.

Marzocchi's design team took full advantage of Fox's industry standard for reliability, using the seals, bushings and chassis technology of the Float 34. The new Bomber Z2 is positioned as an aggressive trail rider's fork.
