Help identifying manitou sx forks

[dvatcmark]

Folks
I've just picked up a pair of manitou sx forks but don't know what year / model they are, can anybody help out ? Even better has anyone got a service manual for them?

Apologies in advance if they turn out to be classed as non retro

Pretty sure it's a 1997 Manitou sx (Ti version was red, i think).

I had the Pro C version (black, lower down in the range) when they first came out.
They were pretty easy to service from what i can remember.
All of them had elastomer / coil combo. Don' t know if that helps any.

The 1999 models have the same internals

I've just looked through the 99 and 97 manuals and discovered that!

Looking at the 97 manual I think it just the SX.model.

I shall get stripping tomorrow night :shock:

Yep they are in very good condition, virtually unmarked.

Got them to bits now, and they are perfect inside too, just need a clean and re grease and they should be ready for action again. Although im probably going to sell them as my man cave is getting full

Ill be honest I haven't got a clue what they are worth, make me an offer

I want to make sure they work properly first though
