Marzocchi to stop production

[Elvis74]

I know that the German gas gas team is using Showa forks. I wouldn't take care too much about e suspension the factory teams are using, normally it has nothing to do with the stock bikes.

Makes me wonder if Gas Gas aquired a few other bits and pieces from Husky, other than just the engines. Sure would make sense.

Yep, it's pretty clear from that shot. They're all sporting tuner stickers as well, not the big Marzocchi M (and no red legs) as they have in the past.

Interesting is that they are using the OEM triple clamps . KYB internals inside the Marzocchi tubes ?

if it is a KYB fork, how did they fit the gasgas fork guard to it? I want to do it to my bike

Latest KYBs use the same clamping diameters as the Marzocchis. If they are in fact going to KYBs they may have had new plastic molded, or may have modified the lugs to accept current guards.

On a related aside, my bet is that Tenneco moves the fork production to another location ... it would seem that their move of MTB fork production to Taiwan was a positive one, and the same is likely for their motorcycle legs.

I don't have notes on the upper claming area of the Husky KYBs or the axle..

But from the quick pics I've pulled 2013 Red and Black TE310 from memory used the KYB SSS, also have black uppers, and very similarly shaped plastics. I'd be leaning in that direction. Unless if they were only OC. Not 100% familiar on what came with what.

There were some initial hiccups when they moved the MTB stuff, but after a couple years it was business as normal. They also made a lot of design changes when they moved so it was probably more that than anything.

The axle nut seems the same but the lugs seem KYB

I think the Enduro model came with OC and the MX with CC. Not sure if the CC's where exactly like Yamaha's SSS or more like Kawasaki's AOS .

I have a pair of husky KYBs on my wife's 2011 GasGas. They are SSS and fit the Zokes clamps on my beta. Had to machine the lower on the wife's bike and the fork guards fit.
