Manitou has overhauled its legendary Mattoc forks for 2023 release.
The new Mattoc brings the performance of the Mezzer line to lighter weight and medium travel, to cover virtually all mountain-bikes. Strong enough for downhill, light enough for XC, versatile enough for every touring and trail bike.
New 34 mm chassis for all mid-travel bikes with 110-150 mm travel (Pro, Expert) or 110-160 mm (Comp). Available with 29" or 27.5" lower legs. Stronger, lighter and stiffer than the previous generation with integrated mud-guards, brake line clamps and Trail Side Relief (TSR) vent screws*.
The Mattoc air springs are Manitou's innovative Dorado Air with IRT (Pro) or Expert Air with IVA volume spacers (Expert, Comp). All Mattoc editions use simple 10 mm spacers for travel adjust and have balanced negative air volumes.
Mattoc dampers are high/low speed MC^2 for the Pro, 6 stage compression VTT in the Expert and the legendary Manitou ABS+ in the Comp.
*TSR available with Mattoc Pro & Expert models, not Comp.
