A bit over a year ago, upon Marzocchi’s official re-brand after their acquisition by FOX, they announced a no frills rear shock aimed at bikes ranging from 130mm to 200+mm of travel. Dubbed the Bomber CR, which stands simply for compression and rebound, the shock has two external adjustments and retails for just $299 USD. Back in September, Marzocchi sent out a sample for testing on the back of my Yeti SB-165 which would ultimately compliment the Z1 Coil. Keep on scrolling to see how this utilitarian little unit has performed…
Details
- Externally adjustable low-speed compression & rebound damping
- $ 299 (spring sold separately for $ 24.95)
- 15 clicks rebound
- 16 clicks low speed compression
The Bomber CR’s architecture is essentially a FOX Vanilla RC, which is a 10 year old design. That’s nothing to be ashamed of as it’s a simple, bulletproof design without any major shortcomings.
