Marzocchi

The company profile doesn't include hydraulic industrial pumps anymore but only suspension components for motorcycles and bicycles.

The first dealt with the design and production of hydraulic pumps, the second with motorcycle suspensions After 1965, the second generation of Marzocchi entered the scene.

For Marzocchi Sospensioni, the products were aimed at the high-end of the market: motocross and large-engined bikes.

In the 80s the collaboration with manufacturers of large-engined road motorcycles such as BMW Motorrad, Moto Guzzi, Ducati expanded and Marzocchi established itself as a leader in Europe in the production of suspensions.

A big advantage of the Marzocchi shock was its ability to be rebuilt, seal kits and service manuals being readily available.

Until 2007, fork production was based in Italy (apart from the entry level OEM parts, which are produced by the Taiwanese SR Suntour in Taiwan).
