In theory the Marzocchi solves the two notable issues with recent Fox forks at a 1/2-lb weight penalty and significant (~pair of fresh tires) cost savings:
1) The aluminum lowers won’t have porosity issues.
2) The notably beefed up stanchions/crown (E-Bike rated) should be much more resistant to creaking pressfit interfaces.
With performance being equal I can’t think of a reason local riders (and heavier racers) wouldn’t buy the Marzocchi version.
In that sense it reminds me of the first Z1\. It just makes sense.
