5.5 R

Does anyone have one of these forks yet?  Wondering if they have a larger fork offset than the 07 Z1 series.  The new ones have 35 mm stantions so I imagine their wider and beefier..Huh

I have one, I haven ridden it yet. But I know the 55 line replaced the whole Z1 line, with the 5-6" travel, if you want more than you need the 66 line of forks, before going all out like 888 DH forks

The fork looks sick, but they went a bit crazy on the stickers this year :rolleyes:   I might throw one on the giant. 140mm.

I just got the 5.5 R and it looks way beefier than the z.1.  Right between the 6.6 and z.1 like I wanted.  I'm going to the park right now for a thrash test!  It looks greeeeaaat!

The fork is sick, handles like a 66, way more stable than a Z1.  I'm having some issues with the new qr system.  My front wheel suddenly has play in the hub, even after the axle is mad tight.  It never had any play on the 3 other forks I had it on.  What hub are you using Kev?

I finally got everything sorted with a new hub etc.  This fork friggin rules!.  I'm using it like a 888 and a Z.1.  Feels great for all types of wacky stunts.

I have been riding this fork for a month and it does rock. The Hub play, I called the Tech at Mazocchi and he advised greasing the o-ring on the axle and then turn the lever till it locks down. And then continue to twist the handle to reposition it, it will make a clicking noise telling you its all good and tight...
