2010 Marzocchi Four Cross & Dirt Jump

by 0

The biggest change is the new ‘upside crown’, this can be best described as an inverted crown. By inverting the crown and removing all sharp edges impact forces are dissipated around the stanchions and steerer safely. Using this design Marzocchi have managed to reduce weight by 15% while increasing strength by 30%.

A new lower casting has been made with a new lattice-reinforced brake arch to improve tracking and a traditional 20mm bolt through axle is used on the 4X & DJ1 models.

Four Cross

The 2010 Marzocchi Four Cross has developed & proven in racing buy world class riders such as Brian Lopes and Cedric Gracia.

The Four Cross uses the top of the range RC3 cartridge that has been developed in the heat of competition. The Italian made, open bath RC3 cartridge gives a wide and usable range of rebound and both high and low speed compression adjustment.  The High and low compression is adjusted from just one dial.

I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld. Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
