Jan 11, 2003 7:45 PM | | I was surfing Marz '03 site and saw the '03 EXR doesn't have the new M-crown and new sculpted lowers like the rest of the lineup. Why's this? Is it because the EXR is made in Taiwan? Much thanks!! |

Jan 11, 2003 8:06 PM | | I've got one on my 02 roast, yeah, it's a taiwan fork. Where abouts is the 03 version on their site, I couldn't find it. I'm almost thinking that they'd just be using existing 02 stock, not really an 03 model as such. I can't really see why they'd put any extra effort into their budget fork. It works great as is anyway, maybe an inch more'd be nice tho'. |

Jan 11, 2003 8:31 PM | | Thanks Larry. Yeah you're right, I guess it is good fork for the money....Marz quality, stiffness, low maintenance and reliability-- Looks just like its bigger brothers. If the EXR is made in Taiwan, what parts are made there? Thanks! |

Jan 11, 2003 9:11 PM | | I believe it's just the lowers that are made there, and then Marzocchi does all the internals.

Jan 12, 2003 8:17 PM | | My exr runs a more conventional style upper and lower bushings, but I haven't been inside a marz fork more recent than 00, I'm not sure if the other marz forks have switched to this from the larger single bushing. |

Jan 13, 2003 8:10 AM | | Yes, the redesigned the bushings for all the forks this year. I believe everything is now using a 2-bushing per side setup like yours.
