20 July 2011  |   |   1 Comment
We’ve got news for you! Soon, the 29” mountain bike experience will never be the same again with a brand new fork bringing you the perfect suspension package for 2012. Already back in 2000, mountain bike legend Gary Fisher and our own Bryson Martin worked on our very first 29” fork. Fast forward to 2011 and we can see that the mountain bike world is finally catching up to that decade old vision we had with Gary… 29” bikes rock! For 2012, Marzocchi has developed an all-new 29” fork: the CORSA Superleggera 29”. 100% optimized for the big wheel, this fork is super lightweight with a carbon fiber crown and steer tube and fits wider tires than any of its competitors. Many other designs are simply extensions of the 26” fork chassis but we took it a step further and developed a fork that is dedicated to the performance requirements the big wheel demands! Marzocchi Corsa 2012 Specifications TRAVEL: 80-100-120mm with spacers LEFT LEG: TST MICRO (lock out, micro adjust compression & rebound) RIGHT LEG: AER SPRING: air + negative spring CASTING: 32mm QR15 axle STANCHION: nickel treatment tapered STEER TUBE: carbon fiber crown and steer tube (1,5" -> 1-1/8" only) DISC BRAKE: 6" PM (max disc 8") WEIGHT: 1650g with carbon fiber crown and steer tube (1,5''-> 1-1/8'') OPTIONS: Remote TST control, hollow aluminum crown 1-1/8" or 1,5"->1-1/8" aluminum steer tube Marzocchi Corsa 2012 Features AER – Air that makes you fly Completely reengineered, the new air system performs better than any other system on the market. Countless reviews and tests agree with us! Plushness you would expect from a coil combined with the air volume adjuster offers an ideal compression curve that fits any rider. The low pressure required keeps the seals sliding smoothly on the surface with no friction at all. Furthermore, the fixed piston in the closed cartridge helps to reduce weight since less oil is needed in the entire system. Marzocchi Corsa 2012 TST Micro Slightly redesigned to reach perfection, the TST Micro is the latest step in a forward evolution of our closed cartridge hydraulic system. The red knob on the lower part of the fork leg adjusts rebound; the black top lever activates the Micro system controlling compression. The Micro adjustment located in the middle of the top left knob sets the threshold valve in order to offer maximum traction and control on any terrain and combining it with any riding style. Lockout is activated quick and easy to not hold you back from your uphill adventure. Marzocchi
