Following the launch of the Mara Pro, Manitou released it's slimmed down and XC focused sibling, the Mara. Using crucial tech first shown in the Pro version, the Mara features the same smooth air spring design as well as Manitou's proprietary SKF Internal Floating Piston (IFP) to minimise any initial breakaway stiction. What makes this IFP so special is its utilisation of a flexible membrane and lip seals instead of a rigid disc. This allows the center of the IFP to begin its movement upon compression and rebound before the actual lips of the seal break free increasing initial sensitivity.
