Is anyone running one of these?

I've had a coil itch for a while but need a 230x65 (YT Jeffsy 27.5) and most coil options in that size are £550+

I'm not sure if I'll end up running a coil all the time or just for alps/uplift days. If it's all the time then I could probably justify a Ohlins/DHX2 etc but if not it's a lot to spend on something that'll sit on the shelf 90% of the time.

The only thing the Zocchi doesn't have is a climb switch, but I guess I can tweak LSC to suit different riding conditions.

It's a Fox Van RC with metric sizing effectively, so it'll give similar results to that.

Can't say I've ever missed having a climb switch on my RS Super Deluxe, but each to their own...

No CCDB coil inline in that size? As you mentioned the climb switch.

Nope - that would be the perfect option. I asked CC if there was one in the pipeline but they didn't reply. Folk on the YT Pinkbike forum claim to have received replies from CC saying they won't be making one in that size. Not sure why - maybe potential problems with bushing overlap.

Shame about that eh?

Dunno if I ever used a plain Van RC, but had a couple Push tuned and they were awesome. Might be an option on the Marz - but then probably getting a bit spendy.

Glad my bikes are old-fashioned shock sizes, makes it much easier to pick up bargains.

Ironically I was pleased the bike had a metric shock size as I thought I'd have more options in the future!
