the 2004 marzocchi forks online

[snortpickle]

Hrmm..Marzocchi put the 2004 line up on their website. I don't see the steel 3" street fork in there. Goddamnit. The new dirtjumpers are pretty sweet though..

Anyhoo:

Excerpt:

DIRT JUMP SERIES

The DJ series is the fork of choice and strength in this arena is paramount. For 2004 we’ve decided to use hard chromed cromo steel stanchions in all DJ forks, thus truly making them dirt jump worthy as well as distinguishing them from every alloy fork out there.
Obviously weight has been increased, but where safety and security are the most important issue, a few grams aren’t an issue. Plus, the hard-chromed steel tubes offer unsurpassed buttery smooth, low stiction performance.

EOE.

Thus TRULY making the dirt jump worthy eh? How nice to take 3 years before deciding to make a fork named "dirtjumper" TRULY dirtjump worthy ;)

Old news? I bite my thumb at thee.

Maybe that one is only OEM........

i hope they fixed the crown too, or will that take another 3 years?

Whats up with the 110mm of travel on the DJs can they still get 130 with like a kit or somthing, whats up?

I think Marzocchi has decided to really clearly set the boundries for the usage of the forks. For dj and street you will never ever ever need more than 110mm and 110 is already on the "tad much"-side. So I think it's a move aimed at preventing people to use them for freeriding.

when will we be able to buy the 2004 forks, or when will i be able to send back my creaking dj1 and get a 2004 fork from warranty???

[eddiebrannan]

sc shiver's only 100mm now? is that a change? i thought it was always a 5" fork

[Millstone]

The DJ forks are only 2 years running.

*sigh* Yah..but this will be 3d installment in the series. So I'm counting 3 years worth of forks..2002/2003/2004.

[Captain Da]

the shiver scs were 110mm last year (4.3 inches)

[Keefer]

Shiver Sc's were 120mm last year.

It's interesting to see that they reduced the travel down on the DJ's, and now the Shiver SC is considered a DJ fork too...

I'd like the DJ's to be 5" available, for thsoe of us that don't SOLELY dirtjump and want that extra travel for Whistler, or some trails.

yes there's a 130mm kit.

the catalog .pdf they have on the site is pretty informative.
