I'm looking at buying some mint 66 rcv's so looked on the marzocchi website and couldn't find them.
So I checked the oe ones and they were there.
They were fitted to a commencal mini dh bike and are taken off and in mint condition.
He said they are 2007 and say made in Italy not taiwan so are they safe to buy or not as i'm confused?
if they are oe does that mean they have ben through marzocchis stringest tests and the aftermarket ones havn't?
Which are best?
Cheers 🙂
Anyone?
Basically, the 66 RCV's will have much simpler and less effective damping cart internals than the RC2X's and the SL ATA's. They are more rudimentary, and less tunable if you like.
2007 forks were the last of the "reliable" Marzocchi's. For some reason, when they moved production to Taiwan for the 08 season, product quality seemed to drop massively.
FWIW though, 66's definitely would be the fork of choice for a Bullit over anything else. Have emailed you back again about my 66SL's mate.
did the sticker say 'Made in Italy - Not Taiwan'?

2007 XC700SLs (95-130mm) ATA's were pants
I thought it was just anything with ATA (or maybe TST as well) were the problem forks. I thought the ETA ones were fine? Could well be wrong though
