3 year warranty with no service stipulations? That’s impressive! They’re obviously making a big push to get back market share with a policy like that.
Sounds good. Openbath needs to make a comeback!
Rickos – I’d say that if I was asking £899 for yester years technology. A ti spring doesnt make it bling.
Sorry Marzocchi, go and take Manitou’s place.
£899 for a set of forks? Really?
Not a chance for £899. Sorry Marzocchi, but it’ll be a set of Floats or Rockshox Revelations instead until the price drops.
£900 ?!?!
They must need to charge that much to cover all the warranty work.
should be reliable tho…and should work well in the dusty conditions unlike fox and rock shox?
I don’t care if they make me irresistable to women and put the coffee on in the morning, £899 is far, far too much for a 160mm fork.
