TST MICRO (Terrain Selection Technology With Micro Adjuster)
TST Micro is the greatest evolution of TST closed cartridge hydraulic
systems. The red knob installed in the lower part of the fork leg adjusts
the rebound. The black-coloured top knob sets 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
operated through the remote control on the handlebar.
TST2 (2 position Terrain Selection Technology)
TST 2 is the basic version of the TST systems: the lower red-coloured
knob allows adjusting the rebound. The black-coloured top knob sets the
lockout, thus assuring a pleasant riding on all terrain . In some models,
lockout can be operated through the remote control on the handlebar.
LR Damper
The red-coloured lower knob allows adjusting the rebound. The black-
coloured top knob sets the lockout, thus assuring a pleasant riding on
all terrain. In some models, lockout can be operated through the remote
control on the handlebar.
RLO (Rebound Lock Out)
The lower knob allows adjusting the rebound. The black-coloured top
knob sets the lockout, thus assuring a pleasant riding on all terrain .
In some models, lockout can be operated through the remote control
on the handlebar.
LO (Lock Out)
The black-coloured top knob sets the lockout, thus assuring a pleasant
riding on all terrain . In some models, lockout can be operated through
the remote control on the handlebar.
RC3 (3rd Generation Rebound/Compression Cartridge - Open Bath)
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 red-coloured knob on the fork top. The system allows the
control of the compression adjustment golden knob, which is installed in
the lower part of the fork leg.
RC3 EVO - RC3 EVO V-2
It is the most advanced Marzocchi Open Bath System. RC3 EVO
cartridge allows to have the maximum freedom in the setting. In addition
to the external rebound adjuster (red knob on top) and the low speed
compression ( golden knob on the bottom), it is the possibile to install
different shim stacks in order to get a customized compression setting.
CR Damper
The red-coloured lower knob allows adjusting the rebound. The golden-
coloured top knob sets the compression.
RV (Rebound Valve - Open Bath)
The RV (Rebound Valve) pumping element is the evolution of the well-
proven SSVF Open Bath system. The system controls the rebound
speed. If you correctly adjust the red-coloured knob on the lower part
of the fork leg, you can keep the wheel on contact with the soil in all
riding conditions.
IRA (Internal Rebound Adjuster - open bath)
The IRA (Internal Rebound Adjust) system, which is similar to the RV
system, controls the rebound speed and keeps the wheel on contact with
the soil in all riding conditions. The Adjuster is installed inside the cartridge
and the rebound can be set using the specifi c adjustment wrench.
R Damper
The R Damper system to adjust rebound through the red-coloured knob
on the fork bottom.
Fixed Damping
The Fixed Damping cartridge allows the hydraulic control of the rebound
and is set by Marzocchi.
CV (Compression Valve - open bath)
The CV pumping element is the evolution of the well-proven SSVF Open
Bath systems. The system controls the compression. The golden knob
installed in the lower part of the fork leg adjusts the compression.
VA (Volume Adjuster)
By means of the VA adjuster, 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 modifi cation of oil levels. By simply
rotating the chrome-coloured adjuster you can modify the air volume,
thus achieving a different progressivity equivalent to a variation in the
internal oil volume.
By means of a single Schrader air valve in the lower part of the fork leg,
the AER pneumatic cartridge allows a perfect and simple adjustment of
the pressure in the positive air chamber.
STA (Switch-TA)
The STA cartridge has the functionalities of the AER system. Easy setting
by means of a single air valve installed in the lower part. In addition,
the STA cartridge, by means of the rotation of the Silver-coloured STA
knob installed on the top of the fork leg, allows adjusting the travel and
the height of the fork.
2.3 Lubrication and cooling
The forks can use different lubrication and cooling technologies.
In Open Bath systems, the oil inside the fork leg, besides being a
crucial element for the hydraulic operation, accomplishes all cooling
and lubrication needs for the internal sliding parts. In addition, if
the oil volume is varied within the recommended ranges, it will
be an additional setting element, thus allowing the modifi cation
of suspension system progressivity. Compared to the systems
equipped with sealed cartridges, the Open Bath system allows
reducing lubrication operations of the sliding parts.
The Open Bath system assures an excellent lubrication even from the fi rst
"bottoming" of the fork, as well as in all use and weather conditions.
In the systems equipped with sealed cartridge, special grease or oil
is used for the lubrication of the internal sliding parts. The aforesaid
lubricant does not work as additional setting element; therefore, the
pre-established levels must be carefully observed.
The best lubrication of the internal parts is achieved during the use,
when the stress and the bottoming of the fork allow that the oil lifts
due to "chattering" from the bottom of the fork leg until reaching and
lubricating the bushings.
2.4 Sliding bushing and oil seals
The guide of the stanchion tubes inside the sliders is formed by two
bushings with Tefl on® facing, with very low static friction.
In 44,55,66,888, Corsa, Marathon and 4X models the notorious
smoothness of Bomber models has been overcome thanks to the
use of newly designed bushings and seals offering a coeffi cient of
friction that is 30% lower, as well as constant performances in time.
This allows the optimum combination between the fork legs and the
sliders. The new bushings have slots that help the oil to go up and
improve the lubrication, thus offering an incomparable smoothness.
At the top end of the monolite, there is a sealing group that prevents
oil leakages, as well as the access of contaminating agents into the
lubricant and into the hydraulic cartridges.
A special foam ring is installed in 44, 55, 66, 888, Corsa, Marathon
and 4X models and in the sealing group allowing a better
smoothness if periodically lubricated.
