Marzocchi is an Italian suspension marque founded in Bologna in 1949, and one of the great names of early mountain bike suspension — its burly forks were a fixture of freeride and downhill through the 1990s and 2000s. It has ridden the ups and downs of the sport while keeping a devoted following.

Now owned by Fox Factory, Marzocchi focuses on tough, simple, well-priced suspension: the Bomber Z1 and Z2 forks and the Bomber CR coil shock deliver a lot of the performance of pricier kit with a characteristically no-nonsense attitude.
