Not going to lie, that's pretty awesome. Hopefully they keep producing parts though, servicing almost anything older is getting difficult.

 

[Grinchy8]

think how many problems they could've solved by equipping with a 3 degree steerer . . .

 

[ljsmith]

These are probably in high demand from all the old bikes pulled out of the shed during COVID.

 

[fos'l]

Responding to the success (?) of Manitou with their low price system of which I'm the happy owner of a 26" & 29".

$214 plus shipping is a steal.

 

[jimPacNW]

a disc brake mount would be nice.

 

[Dan Zulu]

That’s what makes these so rare. They are V brake only, and brand new.

 

[jestep]

a disc brake mount would be nice.

It's on the 80mm green one with the one piece lowers and pressed stanchions, the blue one is the older like Z2/Z3 with the clamp-on the stanchions.

If they could revive a 1in version of the blue 70mm one, I'd pre-order this on the spot.

 

[mik_git]

Yeah I mean I dont know if they are new, or some pile of new old stock (I think new), but its cool... if i actually needed some I'd be buying.

 

[xcandrew]

Anyone know the specs for these? I see this is probably the coil version. I couldn't find axle to crown in the Shocks and Suspension thread or another database. Also interested in the weight.

I'm assuming they won't have service parts for these? V-brake mounts are plus, a lot fewer parts need to be changed.

$214 plus shipping is a steal.

Looks like the price went up since this morning. Now showing $304 for the Z4.

I also see they have a Z3 for sale, but much more expensive at $629.

Yeah sorry, there are 3 forks, i just linked to whichever I was looking at at the time
I think a Z3 in Blue or Green, Z3 in black which may be slightly different and the Z4 which looks like the old Z1 but without any twiddly bits to adjust... but yeah not sure on specs.

 

[shwndh]

Why are they not on Marzocchi's website? This must be NOS. Nice to find them though.

They were the best forks you could buy back in the day. I always wondered why they didn't just make a lower end fork with this old tech. It worked well, it was just heavy.

 

[Dan Zulu]

Be sure to change your shipping address to the US. Otherwise I think it defaults to AUS. Right now it shows $214 USD.

 

[Darth Lefty]

Hope they don't have NOS elastomers

Googling the part number gets nothing but these CRC and Wiggle listings. The ad copy makes it look like new parts:

Whether you're looking to breathe new life back into your classic mountain bike set-up or add some extra style to your vintage bike build

 

[LARRYJO]

I have a z4, 1" steerer about 8" long V Brake and Disc compatible if anyone is interested. PM me.

 

[Darth Lefty]

Anyone received their order? Only curious if it’s NOS after all

 

[70sSanO]

They are definitely old forks. Impossible to tell if they are recent assemblies of NOS parts or NOS already assembled forks. I would imagine they are recent assemblies as the the seals don't look to be over 20 years old. The forks have the yellow "Made in Italy" stickers.

They came with warranty cards. I'm tempted to mail them in but the address is now an HVAC company and they may not want to provide any support...lol!

The 80mm Z4 looks like a 2000 Flylight Air, which is nice at $214 for a 1-1/8" steerer, rim brake, QR, 26er. They are $321 now. Still a good deal in comparison with what is available these days.

The 70mm Z4 looks like a 1998 Oil Bath coil spring like the old 90's forks, but with no adjustments. But it has a removable crown.so It can be used as is or pirated for parts. I also see it as a potential replacement for my '98 Z3 with a 1" steerer. Just need to swap crowns and arches (cantilever brakes) and I'm go to go.; or mix-n-match.

Didn't Fox buy them out recently?
