Marzocchi XC Forks

[Drewson]

Which were the top spec Marzocchi XC forks?
I know they did XC 500, XC 600 & XC700.....did this imply the XC700 were top of the range?

Which generation of forks?

 

[Drewson]

Not sure which generation but they were released during the early 90's...

I think the higher number (400, 500, 600, etc,) depends on the year of production.

The higher the number the more recent the fork is and the longer the travel.

 

[REKIBorter]

I've got some XC700's with a whopping 50mm travel

 

[Dr-Zocchi]

XC500, XC600 and XC700 have the same construction.
XC500 ist 4times adjustable, XC600/700 6times.

Other forks coming out in the later 90´s are XCR and DH3.
DH3 has 72mm travel, all other 51mm.

Excellent, thanks. Would I be right in thinking that the XCR and XC51 were cheaper versions of the XC500 etc? Were they all air/oil?

 

[Dr-Zocchi]

XC50/51

From my point of understand they where "earlier" version without adjustment. And yes: they also were air/oil forks.

End of XC series was 1996 (DH3 red or green - top DH model 77mm of travel, XC 700 silver or red - top XC model 50mm of travel with blocade, XCR - basic XC model, 50mm)
I remember yet 1995 XC 600 gold/champain (top model, fex. Team Giant use it in Grundig WC Series)

If someone need: in Marzocchi website You can find owner manuals to many forks from 1993

Some Marzocchi content can be found under this link and I think in Gallery 2 even a Starfork catalogue can be found.
