2012 マルゾッキ・ちょいちょい

えー、正直嫌な予感がします。値段が随分と下がり、頑張っているようなんですが……。

軽くなって居るんですよ。

本来なら、いや他のメーカーなら「お、やるねえ！」となるんですが、ことマルゾッキに関しては過去の事例からもまず間違いなく悪くなっていくことが明白なんです。

ゾッキファンが望むことは二つ。『動き』と『剛性』だけなんですけどね。重さはある程度諦めて居るんですよ（笑）。あの動きが実現できるならしょうがないと。そういうことをもう少し理解して欲しいですなあ……。

それと今は惨敗状態ですから、こんなに種類を揃えずに、888、66、55、44それとXC、29erだけに絞って煮詰めてくれれば良いのに……。

2011モデルは触ったこともないので、そこから2012モデルにどうやってレベルアップさせたかちょっと分かりませんが。

できればマルゾッキとしての正しい道に戻ってきて欲しいものです。
