Monk a Moo is known for having a very comprehensive online ordering system for the newest Marzocchi Forks. Marzocchi 2009 is here, and this year they have pulled out all the stops. The new features are as follows:

TST Micro (Terrain Selection Technology) is the greatest evolution of TST closed cartridge hydraulic systems. The black knob in the lower part of the fork leg allows adjusting the rebound. The red-coloured top knob allows activating the Micro System to adjust the compression. The Micro adjustment (golden knob on the top of the fork leg) sets the operating threshold of compression by adapting the behaviour of the suspension system to the type of terrain. Lockout is activated by turning the golden knob completely in the closed position, then shifting the red lever. In some models, the TST system can be activated by means of the remote control in the handlebar. You can find the feature on the following models: Corsa Centro, 44 ATA Micro, and the 55 ATA Micro.

SFA By means of a single Schrader air valve in the lower part of the fork leg, the SFA (Single Function Air) pneumatic cartridge allows a perfect and simple adjustment of the pressure in the positive air chamber. The pressure of the negative chamber balances in an automatic way, thus assuring the optimal “initial break” in any condition of use and setting. Air pressure values will vary depending on the rider, terrain, preferred travel positions and personal preferences. You can find the feature on the following models: Corsa Centro.

ATA (Air Travel Adjust) is a dual air spring. It has two air chambers that control the beginning and end stroke of the fork. The ATA system allows to adjust the pressure of the positive air chamber. The negative chamber balances in an automatic way. Air pressure values will vary depending on the rider, terrain, preferred travel positions and personal preferences. On the 55, 66 and 888, the lower air valve is the PAR (Progressive Air Resistance) chamber. PAR is to adjust the progression of the spring rate and control bottom-out. The PAR valve is on the lower part of the fork leg and is protected by a red protection cover. The rotation of the Silver-coloured ATA knob installed on top of the fork leg, allows adjusting the stroke and the height of the fork in an infinite number of positions within a range of 40 mm. You can find the feature on the following models: 44 ATA Micro, 44 ATA, 55 ATA Micro, 55 ATA, 66 ATA, and 888 ATA WC.

RC3 It is the leading-edge Open Bath technology by Marzocchi. The RC3 damping system ensures the maximum freedom of adjustment for a free and performing way of riding. The rebound control can be adjusted by means of the black-coloured knob that is installed on the top. The Position Sensitive Compression system allows automatic bottoming control at high and low speeds by means of the compression adjustment red-coloured knob, which is installed in the lower part of the fork leg. By means of the VA adjuster (installed in the RC3 cartridges for 888), every rider can adjust the air volume inside the fork by simply turning the VA knob. The variation of the volume inside the fork is the same as a virtual modification of oil levels. By simply rotating the adjuster ring you can reduce the air volume, this achieving an increased progressiveness equivalent to an increase in the internal oil volume. You can find the feature on the following models: 55 RC3, 66 ATA, 66 RC3, 888 ATA WC, 888 RC3 WC, 888 RC3, and the 4X WC.

TST2 (Trail Selection Technology) is the basic version of the TST systems: the lower black-coloured knob allows adjusting the rebound. The top red-coloured knob sets the lockout, assuring a pleasant ride on all terrain. In some models, lockout can be activated by means of the remote control on the handlebar. You can find the feature on the following models: 44 ATA, 44 TST2, and the 33TST2, and 55 ATA.

The R cartridge is Marzocchi entry level hydraulic system. The R system allows to control and adjust the rebound by means of the black-coloured knob installed on the top. The Fixed Damping cartridge is the simplified version of the R system: hydraulic rebound is pre-set by Marzocchi. You can find the feature on the following models: 22 R, Dirt Jumper I, Dirt Jumper II, and the 55 R.

The RCV (Rebound Compression Valve) is the evolution of the wellproven SSVF Open Bath systems. The RV system controls the rebound speed. If you correctly calibrate the black-coloured adjuster on the lower part of the fork leg, you can keep the wheel on contact with the terrain in all riding conditions. The CV system controls the compression speed. The red-coloured knob on the lower part of the fork leg adjusts the compression.

The LO (Lock Out) cartridge allows adjusting compression damping. The CLOSE position allows locking the fork (by keeping a 20 mm stroke), making steep climbs easier. In some models, the LO system can be activated by means of the remote control on the handlebarYou can find the feature on the following models: 22 R
