“The motorcycle world is a bit more orphaned, historical Marzocchi has closed a factory with more history and best record of belonging to the world of motorcycle.

Born in Italy in 1949 , Marzocchi has specialized in manufacturing suspensions for all types of bikes. In the last two decades has also produced components for bicycles. In 2008 the American Tenneco bought a majority share of Marzocchi and this signature that has decided the closure of the Italian plant , which has 120 employees. This closure will affect 22 models of motorcycles that use Marzocchi suspensions , as well as different racing teams, although the factory is committed to providing stocks until the end of the year .. It is a real shame.”
