They look like the Marzocchi Bomber Z2 (29") - you can tell they are for the 29er's because of the extended arch (i.e. higher) over and above that of the normal 26" Marzocchi's.

Goes back to the early 90's. More mainstream 29ers sold from late 90's. So a fairly long time now.

Are they any good? Comparing to budget forks of today.

Put it this way..... I would stick with today's budget range. These also look like they have been repainted & modified etc. etc.
