^{SSV Damping}

^{SSV (Speed Sensitive Valving) is our simple yet sophisticated way to provide consistent fade-free damping performance. Our SSV system uses five damping circuits per leg to instantly deliver incredible damping comfort and control.These valves operate in the compression and rebound phase allowing varying amounts of oil to flow through the system according to force and speed of impact. SSV is configured in two ways, first the non-adjustable SSV system and secondly, the SSV system with internal rebound adjustment.The internal rebound adjustment is accomplished by removing the top caps and inserting a hex key into the valve and either closing or opening for greater or lesser rebound damping.}

^{SSVF Damping}

^{SSVF is our "Speed Sensitive Valve Floating" with a specially designed Floating Valve that further enhances the SSV concept. The floating valve instantly lets oil flow through the first valve circuit with no resistance providing greater initial and small bump sensitivity. As oil flow increases in velocity and volume, the floating valve closes, providing more oil flow resistance and hence more damping performance. The SSVF system uses an external knob to control the rebound damping.SSVF system can be further fine-tuned by changes in the oil viscosity and valve porting.}

^{TST Compression System}

^{Does the MTB world need another new revolutionary damping system? Will it really work? What will it do?TST Damping System is the next step in the Evolution of Marzocchi’s legendary design process. When we decide to develop a new damping system or introduce a new concept, we first make sure it will offer real world performance to the rider, not just be an over-hyped marketing concept. For example, the concept Extension Control was envisaged while climbing for hours on tight switchbacks on a long travel fork. ECC & ETA exist to aid the rider in climbing a long travel fork & bike to the top so that the rider reaps the rewards on the downhills. The same concept applies to the TST Damping System. It’’s a real world performance advantage conceived on the gnarly trails of the Whistler MTB Park, the rocky trails of Southern California and even the Dolomites of Italy.TST is a damping system that can be easily adjusted to accommodate various terrain conditions without hassle or complicated set-up.For example, the DS damping setting provides greater high-speed damping with less low-speed compression thus providing high-speed sensitivity (keeping the wheel on the ground) while delivering big-hit capability. The AM setting provides more low and high-speed compression damping to handle large drops and jumps without getting “bucked” upon impact. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the climbing (CL) setting delivers greater low-speed compression damping to resist pedal input and the “bob effect”. The intermediate (+/-) settings allow you to choose the best of both worlds by lessening the bob effect while providing great all-around trail sensitivity. Need to switch on-the-fly? You can do that too. With TST, you simply match the damping setting with terrain you are riding, whether you’re climbing, riding fast single track or bombing technical descents. TST will work for your terrain and riding style. We know, because we’ve tested it and it works. TST damping system: designed by riders, built for riding.TST Damping System can be found on the new VR line of rear shocks, the Marathon XC, and the new All Mountain 1 suspension fork models.}

^{HSCV Damping System}

^{We are continually refining our High Speed Compression Valve (HSCV) damping. Last year, we adapted HSCV to the most talked-about new fork, the 888R. The HSCV cartridges in the 888R are as close as you can get to a motocross cartridge in a mountain bike fork without the additional weight of a full-on motocross cartridge. The HSCV regulates oil flowing through the bottom of the cartridge via wafer thin shims and a uniquely designed valve. As the fork compresses and oil starts flowing through the valve, the shims flex according to impact, speed, force, rider weight, etc; compression damping is instantly and automatically adjusted. This means when you whack a sharp-edge bump or land a drop nose-down, the HSCV works to eliminate harsh bottoming and loss of control, which lets you stick technical landings and prepare for the next drop. HSCV is used in all of our high-end, cartridge style forks. From the 66 R to the Marathon S, these are the forks that top riders ride when they choose their own equipment. There is no other damping system on the market that produces damping quality and consistency on par with HSCV. All you have to do is ride one to feel the difference.}

^{PL (Preload)}

^{Air preload is a separate feature from an air sprung fork leg. Air preload comes as a feature on many coil forks which aids the coil in determining an optimal amount of resistence to compression that the rider desires. Therefore, in this regard, prelaod adds adjustability to a coil fork which otherwise might not be adjustable through any other means other than changing the oil level, the oil grade or weight, or even changin out to a heavier spring.}

^Rebound

^{On some forks this is an easily accessible external knob on the bottom of the fork. On other forks, the rebound is adjustable internally. Either way, the rebound controls the speed or rate at which the fork decompresses once it has been compressed. Adjusting the rebound gives the rider the ability to control how smooth the fork operates under the conditions that the trail provides.}
