It looks like a Marzocchi Nitro. When Bombers came out Marzocchi produced an xc 700- Bomber Hybrid. it had the XCR outers and a coil spring inside, in an oil open bath, with 5 cm of travel.
So are you sure it's an air-oil fork? I'm not saying you are not competent, but those stickers and paint scheme are Nitro's which means that it could be an XCR made with Nitro stanchions, or it is possible that the forks have been repainted and rebadged.

I'd say the Schræder valves pretty much rule out the "hybrid" explanation.

I am sure i it's an air-oil fork.

And you can see the picture 5

I have an identical set of forks to those except they are yellow with a 1" threaded steerer. They seem to be 96 from their serial number and say Special Edition on them.

This thread has now told me the air pressure I need for them or at least that my friend needs for we fitted them to his old ridgeback to save his wrists as he rides around Glentress.

I like them, but another friend has told me never to try and take them apart without a good tool kit and service manual. He did, couldn't rebuild them and had to seek out proffessional help :roll:

Cheers

I just find a Marzocchi Nitro in our city.

This is Marzocchi Nitro .

I want to konw . What's the difference between XC 700, XCR,AND Nitro??

Which fork is better??

 

[Dr-Zocchi]

It is a DH3. The XCR has plastic adjuster.

 

[fingers]

Thats a 1997 nitro.

Last air oil, ran alongside the new bomber forks.

Based on the previous XCR.
