17 Bikes From Red Bull Rampage 2017

 Marzocchi = Fox

 Is it just me or these Bombers are actually Fox 40s on the outside?

 @look-out: Yes it looks exactly like a Fox 40 with gold dials and Bomber decals. Notice the RAD-sticker and the FIT4 sticker as well.

 if you look closely on T-Macs fork you can see the "RAD" letters on his Marzocchis lowers. So theres propably some proto fox stuff in that Marzocchi chasis. Lets see what forks fox is going to release under the M label next year. hopefully some bullet proof good performing stuff for a good price, like in old days and not a low end extension to the fox line up

 @look-out: RAD Fit4 axle... yes it's a 40

  ))

 Its just a Fox 40 with undeserved stickers..

 @AntN: More like DVO = Marzocchi without the logo. But you are more correct than the people who negged you realize.

 @RedRedRe: Again why are people upset about this? The ocmpany almost folded for good and Fox decided to take them over. Sure youll see some identical products but I have a good feeling that Marzocchi is gonna still have their feel vs Fox.

 @chainzuck: its a fox 40 with a Marzocchi decals so of course its gonna have RAD and Fit4 in it lol

 @chillrider199 i completely agree. fox rescued marz and they’re keeping all the former marz athletes supplied with forks and shocks. My guess is because they’re coming with a new product line that hasn’t gotten to the working proto stages outside the lab.

 It's a 40 with BOMBER decals on them. TVS bike check had some close ups of the fork.

 marzocchi has so many fan boys here, I've owned 4 marzocchis over the years and currently running them, they might be reliable but damping performance has always been very sub-par compared to fox and Rockshox, customer service is also entirely non existent, good luck ever getting a reply email for warranty claims or tech support - Nada! Currently enduring this situation myself. I would say marzocchi just need to disappear for good and live on in our memories as an amazing company they weren't actually

 @chainzuck: looks like a 40 chassis too

 @ctd07: Yeah.. I agree. I hope honestly Fox can shape them up to be good. People are speculating so much on what these forks are made of. Its probably a 40 (because why change the infamous fork?) with Marzocchi dampers. Would make sense

 @ctd07: try riding the 888 rc2 lol you are complaining about Marzocchi when you're running a 888vf with no adjustments lmao I've ridden alot of different Marzocchi forks and the only one I didn't enjoy was a vf. I'd still rather ride my shiver dc then my fox 40rc2
The plushness is second to none and the adjustments are easy to use its just impossible to find rebuild kits for it. Thats the only reason I'm on a 40 now

 @mhoshal: I'm on 350cr now, still lacking in performance, dives through its travel way too easily and compression adjustment does nothing

 @multialxndr: you obviously haven't ridden the c2r2 fork or moto shock.

 @mhoshal: agree - the whole point of owning a Marz fork was for their high end oil bath dampers. Although people also have issues sometimes with the high end Marz gear because they don't know how to tune it...and based on my experience, the Rc3 line did require more understanding of tuning than competing suspension. I picked up a few near new RC3Ti forks of different sizes back in the '11 - '12 timeframe for 30% or so of MSRP where the seller said they couldn't get it to ride right. Of course they blew my fricken mind every time and hardly ever needed any attention. Still have a 2012 66 in service for freeride, and it shows no signs of slowing down. I am not a hater of Fox and RS by any means (very happily running that gear, too, on the trailbike), but I am one of the riders that cannot wait for the new Marz/Fox coil forks to come out

 @ctd07:You are forgetting about the time when Marzocchi was making the Z-2 and Rock Shox was making junk elastomer forks full of plastic parts. Fox was not even in the game back in the old days. Marzocchi earned their place in the history of mountain biking, lets let them have that.

 Damn i do not see a difference of that 1,5inch: except Cam Zink Bike which looks like "oO"

 Why are people still surprised that certain Pros still use 26" wheels when they fit the event? Every time there's an article about slopestyle, people freak out about the pros using small wheels. Companies are still producing 26" slope bikes and many DH frames are still compatible will 26. Slopestyle bikes are 26". Period. Every slope rider at every slope event is going to be riding 26 unless companies start prototyping 27.5 slope bikes next year. DH race bikes are now all 27.5 or 29. Freeriders go with either 26 or 27.5 depending on what their frame can take. Don't be caught off guard if the pros are still winning freestyle events on smaller wheels.

 Of course, wouldn’t be surprised to see dirt jump bikes with their smaller wheels too... it wasn’t a downhill event neither a free ride event. It was a slope style circuit made up 5 days before the event by the riders. For backflips and stunts smaller wheels are welcomed.

 imagine what would happen if a company developed even smaller sized wheels for dirt jumping competitions?

 @gonecoastal: bmx bikes?

 @gonecoastal: Dartmoor, Dmr and formerly Doberman made and make 24inch jump bikes. A 24 inch Doberman lepink (my fave slope bike) competed in Highland bike park slope comp so apparently its legal. Would love to see a 24 player under Symon Godziek.

 @johannensc: Really there is no place for 27.5 wheels for slope bikes. Not even a chance man. It mess directly with the maneuverability of the bike... On air spinning and in the ground for taking off the lips... Just as simply as High School physics.

 @seif770: That's basically what I was getting at.
@choppertank3e: whoosh.

 With some people using big rubber too I’m finding it hard to tell, come on PB give us some details!

 He is the human embodiment of America

 The ramp up in the end will result in higher g-loads in the end as well. With a linear spring you'll have a lower peak force/acceleration.

The ramp up just allows you to get you a better compromise between small bumps and big hits. But at rampage there are no small bumps really...

 You also can't bottom out a coil shock, which would be handy at rampage.

 Well you can bottom it out..... But you won't blow out the seals

 BTW, interesting to see no Demo, M16 nor V10...Pity Conor didn't drop in.

 That artwork!!!

 Factory lowers. Elite stantions

 Not really...

 @b-wicked: Suntour products were on Podiums before in Rampage. Knolly Podiums. Sr Suntour has stepped up exponentially since a few years ago, heard nothing but praise

 Correct me if i'm wrong but I don't think they changed the tues frame from 2016 to 2017? Just added that new color

 Their orders finally arrived.

 @bishopsmike: Lol, are they pretty notorious for slow delivery? The tues been sold out for a long time in Canada too, can only get the yellow one in a small for last few months.

 @VPS13: No their pricepoint is just so good that they usually sell out on the new stocked frames within days. Then they have to process all of those orders and ship them out.

 @VPS13: My friend had a great experience ordering one before our week at Moab. It ended up shipping 5 weeks after the "shipping on" date advertised when he paid for it. Meant that he had to pay $500 on a rental instead. Impossible to get in touch with anyone. BUT, his bike is really nice.

 Is there a reason why YT has not released a 26” stock bike again?

 Moden downhill specific drivetrains already have good chain retention

 @liamOenduro: So the clutch mechanism makes the lower pulley redundant. Cheers!

 i counted 6 bikes without any type of chain guide, thought that was pretty surprising.

 It's a floatx2

 He doesn't have a suspension sponsor

 *un-released

 a few especially reeder and semenuk

 @loganmerringer: 26" wheels will do that

 Smaller = more flicky.

 just saw Tupin and Bizet

 The Canyon Sender is only available in 650B/27,5. Don't really know about the other brands...

 Kyle strait

 @jamp: Well unless Adolf Silva runs 27.5 at Fest we just saw the world's first 650b double backflip and on a DH bike. Alloy frame this time too?

 It looks okay to me. Probably runs more sag in the rear shock than most people that's why he set the chain guide up that way

 Stop living in 2005, Sr Suntour is not the shit brand it was a decade ago.
