racerveza 's List: Interbike2008

• Once we pointed it down it was nothing but smiles.
• Manitou has always been masterful at damping technology and this fork continues that tradition with TPC + compression damping, an open-bath, double tube rebound damper and hydraulic bottom-out and top-out circuits.
• To begin with I don't think I would have known this was an air sprung shock without someone telling me so. While relatively linear, the smoothness and ramp up are very similar to what a coil might serve up.
• it was clear to me from the first force applied to the rear wheel that this is a capable fork. It rode nice and high but responded quickly and smoothly to impacts.
• it was consistent and predictable and not noodly in any way. It handled large and small impacts equally well and went where it was pointed.
