As I mentioned before, the compression knob has no clicks so I started with it wide open in hopes of not needing much low-speed compression and using air pressure and volume spacers to be able to fine-tune how the fork rode. For a 160mm travel 29” fork, 7 spacers are the maximum amount, so I started testing with 5 spacers and 90 PSI. All the knobs and screws felt extremely quality, and initially, I was extremely excited to try this fork out. The rebound knob has a nice aluminum protective cover like similar fox forks do to protect the low hanging knob from unexpected rock hits, which is a nice and often overlooked feature to me. Something that I was not particularly fond of with the Z1 fork was that the compression knob has no click in it and that it just spins freely. The manual had info and a quick start guide suggested settings based on weight, with suggested rebound and how many volume spacers you are able to run depending on the travel of the fork. The fork came with a manual as well as extra volume spacers. Both are extremely sturdy and before I ever put this fork on my bike I could tell that stiffness was not going to be an issue. The main things that really caught my eye were the crown and the arch of the fork. Marzocchi has had the reputation to make beefy “Freeride” inspired forks in the past, and the design influences on this brand-new fork seem to intend to keep that reputation intact. The first thing I noticed about the Marzocchi Bomber Z1 fork when I took it out of the box was how stout it was. After some time on the new fork, we can say that it is seriously impressive! In this review, we take an in-depth look at the Marzocchi Bomber Z1 and see how to it compares to the other forks on the market. Considering the Bomber Z1 Fork was engineered by the same people that created the legendary Fox 36, it was safe to assume that some of that technology would trickle down to the Bomber. When Fox acquired Marzocchi we knew that could only mean good things for the future of the brand.
