ETA is one of the most well-known and useful features developed by Marzocchi. The Extension Travel Adjustment keeps the fork compressed for easy climbing by simply turning the lever while maintaining 25 mm of active travel.
TST is the evolution of our TST5 technology. It has infinite settings for a custom trail ride. With the micro adjuster at the top of the slider, the rider can change the range of the compression from DS (open) to CL (locked).

Built on the 55 chassis, the ETA model incorporates Marzocchi's Extension Travel Adjust - which limits travel to about 20mm and lowers the ride height for climbing - way better than a simple lockout.
