For years, the name Marzocchi has been synonymous with bomb proof suspension products. Building arguably the heaviest duty forks on the downhill market with such beast's as the 9lb + Monster T and more recently the 888, has earned Marzocchi a reputation in the industry as the go to company for trouble free performance with the small penalty of heavier weights.
For the past 3 years (2004-2007) Marzocchi has been building the 888 on a very similar chassis of 35mm stanchions mated with the evolution of the R damping system (R, RC, RC2X and now RC3). 2008 marks the first year that the chassis of the 888 has been redesigned and made even beefier. It also marks the first year that Marzocchi has moved its product manufacturing to Taiwan via SR Sun Tour and has essentially created a product that delivers Italian performance with Chinese quality.
