Looking at a pair of zocchi 55's S/Hand. They are 55 ATA 2009's OR 2007/08 ETA TST's, I don't know much about either fork, anyone know if they are good or dogs ?
Cheers.
i know people who have had that years zocchis have had nothing but grief off them....
wouldnt bother with the newer zochs until they are proven to be "better again" if it were me.
lyriks for sir!
pretty sure 07 and 08 were bad years for Marz forks with most of their acronymed systems going wrong. Supposed to have sorted it for '09 and tried to show they had faith in their product with 3yr warranty.
mmm, specific one I've been offered is 2009 ATA's TST
mates ones were ok till the cartridge blew up and turned into 'burly' 22's 😉 at least it was sorted under warranty but no doubt it may go again... personally i'd stay clear
The ATA (air travel adjust) systems were problematic, coil sprung forks were a bit more reliable. I got a 2nd hand pair of 2008 55 TST2 and they have been OK, but not great forks. Not failed yet (only had em a year) but they are so simple inside I can fix 'em myself if they go wrong.
Look on mtbr forums in the "suspension and tuning" section. There are lots of threads on '08 or '09 Marz forks and what to do to upgrade them or fix them when they go wrong.
