R8 - Elite XC Racing's Compromise Killer

Lightweight, Stiff, Versatile, Unparalleled Tunability & Reliability

The Manitou R8 is an elite XC fork, built to be ridden harder and perform better than anything else in its class.  It meets every need of the most demanding XC athlete

R8 Key Features
•   Rigid & Stiff - larger diameter of legs (34 mm) and Manitou's "rear facing for better racing" arch design provide maximum rigidity
•   Lightweight - 1480 g
•   Unparallelled Tunability - XC tuned Dorado Air & VTT Pro-X adjustable damper
•   Versatile - easily internally adjustable travel in 10 mm increments
