Fork's internal components and fork's operation
Inside Marzocchi Monster forks you will find coil springs as a spring system.
The damping load that is generated during the fork legs compression and rebound are adjusted by
damping systems, coming from the Motocross division, which operate according to compression speed.
The Monster model T2 is equipped with Ø 20 mm non-adjustable pumping elements; the Monster Triple
and Super Monster are equipped with Ø 26 mm rebound and compression externally adjustable
cartridges.
The damping systems are fully emerged in oil (Open Bath System). This system provides proper
lubrication and cooling of the inner sliding parts; furthermore, the oil volume works as a damping and
setting element.
The Open Bath system reduces the maintenance frequency if compared with a sealed cartridge system.
Stanchion tubes are guided in the sliders by two teflon-coated bushings, free from static friction.
The seal system prevents oil leaks and contamination from particles entering the fork. It uses a special
dual-lip oil seal and a dust seal at the top of each slider.
