2008 Marzocchi 55

[civilian]

Not directly related to Downhill but cool none the less. Seems the 66SL will be replaced by the new 55 model (http://www.singletrackworld.com/article.php?sid=2412&PHPSESSID=49af5ea33bbf43dfb621eff4eefa7764)

.....gotta say that arch is hideous.

No, not replacing the 66, just rounding out the line. The 66 is beefier and has more travel.

I've been waiting 6 years for them to build that fork......!!.....finally they got rid of that giant upper crown on their 20mm forks......

Looks beauty.

3.75 pounds....

How is the 55 really that different (in function) from this years allmountain 1 sl?

Looks to have a much lower Axle to crown and its about 1.25 pounds lighter.....2 huge improvements IMO....

Arch looks like it has elephantiasis...

3.75 lbs is for the xc fork not the 55.
