The Workshop

Our workshop is the UK's leading authority on Marzocchi forks and shocks and is the longest serving service centre in Europe out side of Marzocchi Spa.
Our highly skilled, factory trained technicians are available for servicing and tuning all Marzocchi products from the Roco rear shock to the original Star Fork. As we only work on Marzocchi products you can be sure of the best possible advice and service.

As well as warranty work we also carry out servicing, official factory upgrades, steerer tube replacement and performance tuning.

Our 'Race Tune' 888RC was tested in Dirt Magazine, the testers were very impressed, "Unquestionably for us the fork of the year". Our Race Tune now includes a special oil additive, as used in the 888WC to give unparalleled sticktion free performance to any Marzocchi fork.

Coming soon for 2007 are more retro fit-able upgrades for all 888 customers - look out for Nickel-plated stanchions & Ti springs!
