Why nitrogen? Why not just use air pressure like an air shock?

Although air is mostly nitrogen, pure nitrogen does not have moisture or “other elements” in it. It is less prone to large, heat-related changes in volume, thereby affecting damping. Adding more pressure does not significantly affect the way the shock works – do not change the nitrogen pressure.
