I’m rocking 130mm travel on my 29”Bomber Z2! I’m glad it performed well and was buttery! When you change the travel I think it will meet all your expectations! Mine also came with more stealthy black/grey decals. Great episode! Tick was very knowledgeable about all the back door entrances

would you do 120 or 130mm travel bomber z2 style fork if u switched from a 50 lb pedal assist emtb with a coil shock of 100mm travel to a air shock z2 or keep it within the non ebike type z2 bomber upgrade at 130mm for a non jumper just dark blue trail rider? cause the whole system accepts ebike trail riding with their newest for eoptimized.

Glad to hear you enjoyed the Bomber Z2. I can't wait to see what it will do if you get the "mystery" adjustment in travel for it.. If the other source doesn't get it too you, let me know I have a 130 mm air shaft for for one just sitting here. Same thing goes for anyone else #wolfticknation who might be thinking of changing the travel on their Bomber Z2.

Great review. Good riding and good to see it truly working. Some people say you should extend it. I agree, but for the bike it is on dont go past 140mm. And anyway the Z2 is at its best at 120mm-140mm from what I have seen witb buddies bikes. Also in terms to compared to rock shox 35 gold, the Marzzochi should take the cake be default. We are talking about a Fox suspension product that has the internals from forks that far out perform even rock shox mid level select series. Not to mention the Marzzochi products with run far longer with low down time. They are built burlier and Are intended for hard riding and high level riders. The Rock Shox 35 is intended for entry level rider. I am a big marzo guy, rode them back in the early 2000's and still ride them today. I have the Bomber Z1, the Z2s big burly brother extended to 170mm of travel with 29 inch wheels. I Also have their coil shock in the rear which is an amazing product. I love how simple they are to set up, how easy to service they are and in comparison too forks they compete with, their value is only rivaled by SR suntour. I have friend on 1800$ forks and suspension set ups and they all say Marzo hits way above its weight class. For you guys I recomend extending it to 130mm, you'll have a fork that wont stress the frame's head angle and you'll have a very aggresive mini enduro set up. My Bomber Z1 was originaly 160mm when I bought it and I got extended to 170mm. My local suspension shop did it affordably and quick!

The original bomber that came out in 96 (coil in open oil bath) gained marzocchi the bombproof & buttery reputation, great to see they still have it. Considering that this was in 100mm mode going against much bigger travel forks it really punched high!!

Definitely air pressure and tokens to provide proper action at both ends. The compression knob is not used to limit travel, more adjust to terrain. Best to carry a short fork pump to play with air pressures as you get used to a fork until you know what you need. Particularly hard to remember exact numbers if you have so many bikes, with different forks and setups. Have to keep a note on a spreadsheet in the cloud to refer to when you jump from one bike/fork to another.

If you think it's bottoming out too much you should be able to add tokens to the Marzocchi ...Probably more suitable than just tightening the dampening.
@patchesthejaybird8431

In order to increase the travel, I believe you have to obtain a longer shaft. The fork probably came with a couple volume spacers, you could add one, it will add some progressiveness to the travel, and might help reduce bottom-out. I have the 120 mm version, and I love it. I like the RAIL damper, its easy to change the oil, and works well enough for me, I dont ride trails with downhill sections long enough for damper fade to ever become an issue.

The Bomber Z2 shares the internals of the Fox 34 Rhythm , it is different than the other Fox 34 forks. The only similarities between the Rhythm/Z2 and the other Fox 34 forks are they are both 34 mm forks.

Yeah I was thinking add the progression to it just because it doesn't have much travel. Adding more travel probably starts totally messing with the Walmart bikes geometry which was probably intended for something closer to 80mm.

I hated mine. I traded it out for a yari. I love my yari. I even upgraded to the rc2 dampener. But the motion control really isn’t that bad. Motion control does as good as the marzocchi but smoother and easier to dial in. The RC damper is harder to dial in but way better than marzocchi. The yari + RC damper is less expensive than the marzocchi

Someone's gotta explain to wolfman about lockouts😅. It's just low speed compression damping. Reason most nicer forks don't fully "lock" is because they have blow off valves so they don't explode under big compressions. The cheap forks don't last for this reason, they fully lock because it's poorly translated marketing. Honestly 85% of riders/bikes don't need a lockout anyway. Unless you're xc racing, you'll never notice a lack of efficiency on the clock vs increased comfort🤷♂️
