The new Manitou Mattoc is the fruit of one of the most profound development cycles in Manitou history. It is the physical embodiment of “great things take time”. It is not an offering that follows the crowd, designed around the latest trend or buzz of the market. Rather, a component that aims to add real value and benefit to the rider. Capable of not only pulling duty in a range of disciplines ranging from XC to light enduro but doing so with zero compromise makes the Mattoc “best-in-class” ! The lightest, stiffest, and most tunable fork over more segments than any of its competitors, the Mattoc PRO is an amazingly versatile product capable of vastly improving your time in the saddle. At 1750 grams it is a featherweight solution given its wide travel range, yet its industry leading stiffness lends it to a performance without rival. Consider also its amazing reliability and you have a fork that does it all and does it amazingly. A true, no-compromise, authentic fork, serving the real needs of the widest range of the mtb public and offering serious performance advantages to each individual one of them, no matter how they choose to ride.

The Dorado Air spring with IRT allows for an extremely lightweight build yet a suspension performance derived from our top-of-the-line DH fork. Compression damping via MC2 Sealed Cartridge with HBO technology and a sealed damper TPC for rebound, and you’ve got yourself an extremely sophisticated piece of suspension technology. Adjustable Air, IRT, Rebound, High and Low Speed compression make for perhaps the most tuneable, personalized custom performance suspension solution available on the market. Include all of this technology into an extremely stiff, reliable, 1750 gram package and you have a ride-changing component that is the envy of the industry

Features:

• 59 grams decrease from the previous model.
  Over 19% stiffness increase from current 27.5”160mm to new 27.5” 150mm. 29” Stiffness increases are higher.
• DoradoTM air allows for internal travel adjustments with no added parts. New travel spacers account for negative air volume change, so the 110mm fork has the same initial stroke feel as the 150mm.
• Dorado Air spring systems contain a unique balancing valve that equalizes the positive and negative air chambers during the air fill process. This gives the spring rate a consistent feel without any flat or dead spots in the stroke, along with giving riders of different weights the same initial stroke feel. Dorado Air is Manitou's lightest weight air spring technology.
• Infinite Rate TuneTM (IRT) allows for advanced spring tuning by independently adjusting air pressures in the beginning and end stroke. IRT technology creates a secondary positive air spring that effects only the middle to end stroke of the fork. This allows the main air spring to be set to lower pressures for improved small bump sensitivity while maintaining mid-stroke support and moderate to aggressive end-stroke ramp-up.
• Sealed Dampers offer more consistent damping and lighter break away force, especially over long descents. Manitou's Damper uses a bladder system to compensate for head build up along with a relief valve. Using both systems give us consistency along with long service life. Having non adjustable HBO eases setup for the user.
• TSR (Trail Side Relief) casting bleed screws allow users to release casting pressure from the fork. Releasing casting pressure can improve overall fork feel and small bump compliance.
