To all LBS or anyone connected to any LBS please let us know if you already have this line-up in your cabinets. And advise SRP as well.
Cheers

Update on Corsa WC real world weight as well as other Zoke Forx ______________________________________________________________________________________________________Here's an update. Sorry but I was busy so they're a little late... Zoke's Corsa WC 80mm version @1670g (3.68lbs, for those Metrically challenged) quite a not-so weight weenie-ish at all. But at least, it's flex resilient unlike Sids which IMO not a good fork for general trail riding particularly if you run discs & >160lb rider. If in case you need to spend some more readings, try searching @mtbr. Plus, here's the clincher: if your old set of brakes are IS, this spells trouble for an aspiring WW. Need to install adaptor for a PM fork like Corsa & the *smallest rotor you'll be able to use is a 170mm rotor (*correct me if I'm wrong) - the only one I know of is from Shimano and weighs about 155-160 grams, not to mention the adaptor weight. So, more or less, with that kind of set-up 4lbs is arguably achievable. Now, you are no longer a WW. Reposting: How about for XC Corsa XCThe new Corsa XC race fork was designed from the ground up to catapult Marzocchi up front in the XC realm. Eyeing for just 1550 grams the guys from Zoke's camp was able to chop off some more weight & according to sources they beat that by over 100 grams as it comes weighing in at 3.1 pounds. That's just a hair more than a Rockshox SID World Cup, but with Marzocchi's reliability. It features the new SFA air spring system, nickel-coated stanchions, and a brand new crown and casting. Hmmmm... ;D The part I've just learned that it's not. Just hope I'm not that completely useless for this one, I guess. NB: I'm open for corrections. That's why we're here. We all learn from each other. Learning in a fun way, huh? Thanks so much!

just saw marzocchi's lineup at cycle options in greenhills. they have a lot of marzocchi forks there. the corsa wc costs P40K+. im even suprised that the marzocchi all mountain forks are similarly priced. what's up with marzocchi? with that price, you can get a rockshox or fox but then again, everybody knows how marzocchi performs.

that's also a big question for me..... cycle options price is way too high compared to other lbs.....
