The responsibility of the owner 1) The Marzocchi suspension system is designed to absorb the shocks of an uneven road surface in order to give the rider more control over this bicycle. It is not designed to absorb the forces generated by jumps or other acrobatic maneuvers. If you subject the Marzocchi suspension system to repeated jumps or other acrobatic maneuvers, you could cause one or more of the components of the suspension system to unexpectedly break, resulting in a loss of bicycle control and serious injury to the rider.
