That's cool just so long as the TiNi boxxers come back too...And so industry has come full circle. Fancy seeing you again, 2003.
This is ****ing ridiculous. How much of a pathetic fox-fanboy can you get!?Team Robot pretty much summed this up correctly.

PEPE is in Germany if I am not mistakenLook at Dirt Magazine #120 page 33, Fast Suspension in France is offering something similar for Boxxers. But they sell you completely new stanchions with the coating for EUR 300.
But the 170 i read in the pictures comments for the coating from Pepe (Italy) are not that much if you want something special.
They just missed that the hard ano is teflon coated. And Pepe is a moto tuning company, they know what they are doing. But Team Robot seem to be Fox fanboys...so whatever.Team Robot pretty much summed this up correctly.

I would say that got nearly every detail on this fork wrong!!!Team Robot pretty much summed this up correctly.

i still have one of my three-oh gazzi's. i may even have a 24" double wide sitting around somewhere too...I certainly hope black is making a come back. Then I'd just be waiting for sun double wides and gazz 3.0s to complete my world.
haha... bagging on the TR commentary, then going on a marz fanboy rant. Priceless.Wow, that team robot commentary is pretty lame. I'd use other internet slang, but it might be offensive.
Marzocchi hasn't changed their black hard-anno since 2003? 2004? and they have essentially been known as the plushest and most supple forks on the market for the entire time period since. Maybe kashima is really great, but maybe marzocchi had it figured out first? Maybe it doesn't really matter and it's all marketing? Food for thought, ace....but keep huffing that fox-smug from inside your matching TLD gear.
You should read up on Kashima then, and realize what it actually is, before you make some other ridiculous claims.This is ****ing ridiculous. How much of a pathetic fox-fanboy can you get!?
A fork will only be slippery as long as lubrications is provided. And Marzocchi
has a big advantage there with its open-bath technology. Just push a random
40, boxxer or 888 and you will notice.
That must be why I keep blowing up my transmissions I'm using boxxer stanchions, ill swap to fox stanchions next rebuild.You should read up on Kashima then, and realize what it actually is, before you make some other ridiculous claims.
There is a reason it is used in a large percentage of high performance vehicle transmission etc.
Maybe this will help clear some things up for people: http://www.kashima-coat.com/pdf/English_pamphlet.pdfYou should read up on Kashima then, and realize what it actually is, before you make some other ridiculous claims.

I didn't say a thing about kashima. And what is my ridiculous claim?You should read up on Kashima then, and realize what it actually is, before you make some other ridiculous claims.

+1not thought up by fox, just used by them.
Kowa doesjust imagine if they did kashima on an inverted fork.
probably. marzocchi's black is the same thing as those u-turn/sag/box(xer) markings - painted hard anodization. the color of anodization also depends on the alloy, i've seen older marzocchis with almost kashima dark stanchions, those, black and rs/fox relatively bright anodization are pretty much the same thing.I think they went black for looks.
back? it never left.the murdered out look is definitely back...
and that oxide is exactly what we have on most forks today. i've been googling around but i haven't managed to find out is it possible to deposit DLC on the hard anodization, i was even contemplating shooting a mail to oerlikon-balzers about this but never got around to do that.My material tech professor told me today that nickeling aluminum is a pain in the a$$ and kinda expensive because aluminium oxidizes too quicky and generates aluminum oxide which is a ceramic, and that sh1t is hard to remove.
You may find your answer on this journal I was reading the other day (third paragraph)and that oxide is exactly what we have on most forks today. i've been googling around but i haven't managed to find out is it possible to deposit DLC on the hard anodization, i was even contemplating shooting a mail to oerlikon-balzers about this but never got around to do that.
what's worse - it's easily done on steel...
