the restructure of GG would have only worked if they got the investors....and they did not....so the bankrupcy thing turned on again for good. lame is right
I expect other suspension supplier to buy the designs of Marzocchi and use that as leverage to get contracts with other OEM manufacturers. For example MV Agusta uses Marzocchi for almost all their front suspension. If Öhlins, WP, Showa, Reiger, Hyperpro, etc, can offer the exact same ones as MV used in the past except with a different nametag then it is an easy deal. Erik Italhusky.com
I could see someone like Sherco or MV Agusta stepping in and buying them to have control over their own suspension, similar to how KTM bought WP years back.
Both don't have enough money I think. Small Italian factories with big goals. However they are not large enough yet.
How about Beta, TM, AJP, Ducati? If they or someone like them could get some backing it would be a smart move. There's no denying that owning its suspension supplier was profitable for KTM.
Beta, TM, AJP: not enough money. Ducati might be a possibility. However I don't think they would get the approval from the Volkswagen Group. KTM has a better position. They are very independent. Erik Italhusky.com
Keep in mind KTM may own the WP group. They are their suspension supplier but WP also makes all their frames and radiators and probably a few more tidbits we aren't aware of. Marzocchi had their hands in a large production base of suspension components for expensive Mountain bicycles as well. There parts inventory needed to be huge to be able to do this, I would imagine.
