TUNING GUIDE

SAG SETTING
To achieve the best performance from your Marzocchi
suspension, adjust the air pressure to attain your proper
sag setting. Sag is the amount your suspension compresses
under your weight and riding gear. Sag range should be set
to 15–20% of total fork travel.
Make sure to set sag with the LSC adjuster in the full
counter-clockwise (OPEN) position, see page 5.

Your fork has a 4 digit ID code on the back of the lower

leg. Use this number at www.Marzocchi.com to find out
more information about your fork.

 The recommended settings in this tuning guide are designed
to be a starting point, in order to get you out on your first ride
in as few steps as possible. Consult your bike manufacturer’s
instructions for setup recommendations.

As you ride and get used to your new fork, adjust your settings as needed.
Detailed information and videos can be found in the online owner’s manual.

Do not exceed maximum air pressure:

BOMBER 58 maximum air pressure is 120 psi.

REBOUND ADJUSTMENT
The rebound adjustment is dependent on the air pressure setting. For example,
higher air pressures require lower rebound settings. Use your air pressure to find
your rebound setting.
Turn your rebound knob to the closed position (full clockwise) until it stops. Then
back it out (counter-clockwise) to the number of clicks shown in the table below.

INSTALL THE FRONT WHEEL
1. Install the front wheel into the dropouts and slide the axle through the
dropouts and hub.
2. Using a 5mm hex wrench, torque the axle to 2.15 Nm (19 in-lb).
3. Torque the two pinch bolts on the rider’s left dropout to 2.15 Nm (19 in-lb).
4. Compress the fork a couple of times to let the right side of the dropout float
and settle to its low-friction point.
5. Torque the two pinch bolts on the rider’s right dropout to 2.15 Nm (19 in-lb).

WARNING: Failure to secure the axle properly can cause the wheel to become detached from the bicycle,
resulting in SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

ADDITIONAL TUNING OPTIONS
CLIP-ON VOLUME SPACERS
Changing volume spacers in the BOMBER 58 fork is an easy internal adjustment
that allows you to change the amount of mid stroke and bottom out resistance.
If you have set your sag correctly and are using full travel (bottoming out) too
easily, then you could install one or more spacers to increase bottom out resistance.
If you have set your sag correctly and are not using full travel, then you could
remove one or more spacers to decrease bottom out resistance.
Installation procedure and tuning options are available online at:
www.Marzocchi.com
