SKU:HB-MARA2-PROPB

Manitou Mara Pro GEN 2 Pro Piggyback rear shock

Gravity-orientated with piggyback design
Shorter reservoir and lower profile Work/Party lever, to improve compatibility with the widest offering of frames possible
Two separate damping circuits that can be activated or bypassed by the Work/Party mode lever
Having two separate circuits allows the rider to have two no-compromise options, for climbing and descending
Word mode is a preset, independent damping circuit designed for climbing
Party mode is an externally adjustable high and low speed compression circuit that offers a large range of tuning for a variety of riders and conditions
A new compression piston and updated shim stacks have been designed in conjunction with the Gen 2 Balance Groove Air Cans
Together these provide improved small bump compliance along with support that can be tuned with the external compression adjusters and internal air volume adjustment
DH versionis based off the exact same core build but removes the unnecessary Work/Party levers, eliminating the possibility for inadvertent actioning of platform

All versions are configured with a new King Can with an active positive/negative system called Balance Groove Technology

Balance Groove Technology
All new Mara GEN 2 shocks, aside from XC focused versions, are configured with a new King Can design.  This new design includes an active positive/negative system called Balance Groove Technology.  It allows positive and negative pressures to equalize, providing great small bump compliance in the early part of the shock stroke.  Such a design allows for great small bump compliance regardless of rider size.  Additionally, positive and negative air volumes can be easily adjusted by the rider at his or her home by adding or removing the included volume spacers, without the need of any proprietary tools.  This adjustment follows the same principle as the IVA system in Manitou forks and represents a high degree of versatility and autonomy in adjustment for the rider.

Other Updates
While the new air cans represent a significant performance upgrade on their own, they are paired with a new air piston that improves reliability and service life with updated seal geometry and simplified service procedures.
