Marzocchi Roco WC Air

The Northern Monkey

Anybody used this air shock or can point me in the direction of any reviews?

Doesn't seem to get much exposure in the UK, found some USA website giving them a good rep but I've not found anything in detail.

Seem to have the right sort of adjustments... I guess its missing low speed compression or is that done by the air spring?

- Ext. adjustable High Speed Compresssion
- Ext. adjustable Rebound
- Ext. adjustable bottom-out resistance via air valve
- Adj. Air Spring

Just looking at alternatives to the DHX5 air or Vivid air.

I have ridden a Rocco WC air on a Giant Glory. The air feels very similar to a Vivvid air and loads better than the DHX air. Still not as nice as a good coil shock.

Well am looking to save weight, bike is used for a bit of everything... Yeah I'd heard that the DHX air isn't great (doesn't actually seem to be on the 2014 lineup).

The MZ ticks all the boxes so far, should get a few quid back from selling my DHX RC2 coil.

I had a DHX air on my Reign X. It was sh1t, a Van R felt like an upgrade.
Im still not convinced by air shocks for DH, they don't deal with heat very well.
