A redesigned crown for 2020 increases stiffness to the same level as the trail-proven 34. The distinct shape of the Step-Cast chassis uses a narrow stance to save weight and the step design makes room for the spokes and brake rotor. - Black anodized upper tubes - 32 mm upper tubes and ample bushing overlap for a quality ride - Hollowed out lower legs provide even more weight savings - FIT GRIP damper and FLOAT air spring - Performance Series black-on-black graphics package

The new Mattoc is the fruit of one of the most profound development cycles in Manitou history. It is the physical embodiment of “great things take time”. It is not an offering that follows the crowd, designed around the latest trend or buzz of the market. Rather, a component that aims to add real value and benefit to the rider. Capable of not only pulling duty in a range of disciplines ranging from XC to light enduro but doing so with zero compromise makes the Mattoc “best-in-class” ! The lightest, stiffest, and most tunable fork over more segments than any of its competitors, the Mattoc PRO is an amazingly versatile product capable of vastly improving your time in the saddle. At 1750 grams it is a featherweight solution given its wide travel range, yet its industry leading stiffness lends it to a performance without rival. Consider also its amazing reliability and you have a fork that does it all and does it amazingly. A true, no-compromise, authentic fork, serving the real needs of the widest range of the mtb public and offering serious performance advantages to each individual one of them, no matter how they choose to ride. The Dorado Air spring with IRT allows for an extremely lightweight build yet a suspension performance derived from our top-of-the-line DH fork. Compression damping via MC2 Sealed Cartridge with HBO technology and a sealed damper TPC for rebound, and you’ve got yourself an extremely sophisticated piece of suspension technology. Adjustable Air, IRT, Rebound, High and Low Speed compression make for perhaps the most tunable, personalized custom performance suspension solution available on the market. Include all of this technology into an extremely stiff, reliable, 1750 gram package and you have a ride-changing component that is the envy of the industry. KEY FEATURES - 59 grams decrease from the previous model. - Over 19% stiffness increase from current 27.5” 160mm to new 27.5” 150mm. 29” Stiffness increases are higher. - DoradoTM air allows for internal travel adjustments with no added parts. New travel spacers account for negative air volume change, so the 110mm fork has the same initial stroke feel as the 150mm. - Dorado Air spring systems contain a unique balancing valve that equalizes the positive and negative air chambers during the air fill process. This gives the spring rate a consistent feel without any flat or dead spots in the stroke, along with giving riders of different weights the same initial stroke feel. Dorado Air is our lightest weight air spring technology. - Infinite Rate TuneTM (IRT) allows for advanced spring tuning by independently adjusting air pressures in the beginning and end stroke. IRT technology creates a secondary positive air spring that effects only the middle to end stroke of the fork. This allows the main air spring to be set to lower pressures for improved small bump sensitivity while maintaining mid-stroke support and moderate to aggressive end-stroke ramp-up. - Sealed Dampers offer more consistent damping and lighter break away force, especially over long descents. Our Damper uses a bladder system to compensate for head build up along with a relief valve. Using both systems give us consistency along with long service life. Having non adjustable HBO eases setup for the user. - TSR (Trail Side Relief) casting bleed screws allow users to release casting pressure from the fork. Releasing casting pressure can improve overall fork feel and small bump compliance.

For the gravity inclined, there’s simply no substitute for Bomber. This dual crown DH fork is ready for riders who push themselves and their gear to the limit.

Riders have been asking for it, and Marzocchi heard the call and has proudly delivered. The new Z1 Coil builds on the legacy of the single-crown fork that started the revolution way back in the '90s – the O.G. Bomber Z1 Coil. Starting with the stout and proven 36mm chassis of the modern day Bomber Z1, the new Z1 Coil retains the renowned Grip damper but swaps out the air spring assembly for the most advanced coil spring system Marzocchi has ever made. At the heart of this new coil system is an ultra-lightweight tempered silicon-chromium steel spring (available in 4 spring rates to suit a wide range of riders) coupled with a noise management system for near silent performance, an integrated air assist for progressivity and bottom-out control, and an external preload adjuster to dial in sag and firmness off the top. Travel can easily be changed in 10mm increments from 150-180mm (depending on wheel size) via included reconfigurable internal spacers. - Ultra-lightweight tempered silicon-chromium steel spring (Medium Spring included) - Noise management system for near silent performance - Integrated air assist for progressivity and bottom-out control - External preload adjuster to dial-in sag and firmness off the top - Travel can easily be changed in 10mm increments from 150-180mm (depending on wheel size) via included reconfigurable internal spacers - Additional springs sold separately to fine-tune and adjust for rider preference - Rake: 44mm

Diamond For The Rough. In a time where standards are being reinvented every day, it's important to look through the clutter to find clarity. Find out what's actually here to stay and make an impact. We start with a simple question: What's going to improve the product and rider? The new Diamond has a host of features to cater to the aggressive rider who demands more.

The 34 Step-Cast Factory is the choice for riders who want an all-round fork that performs in a vast range of applications: lightweight for climbs and highly capable for demanding terrain with enough travel to instill confidence when the trail gets rough. Weight savings are attributed to external lower casting steps, hollow lower section, and shortened shaft lengths. - Step-Cast chassis - Genuine Kashima Coating on upper tubes - FIT4 damper and FLOAT EVOL air spring - Dedicated air spring and damper tune are specific for this travel range, with a lighter tune at mid and higher velocities

THE HARD CHARGING DO IT ALL TRAIL FORK Smoother, lighter, more tunable, and more capable than ever before; when it comes to a do-it-all trail fork the 34 is in a class of its own. - LOWER LEG BYPASS CHANNELS As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. Our lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. - LOWER LEG ARCH Stiffness-to-weight is the ultimate metric for bicycle design. Engineers invest countless hours poring over every ounce of material in an effort to optimize this critical ratio. The all-new 34 pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise the stiffness or strength requirements of modern trail riding. - GRIP2 Our GRIP2 damper is the benchmark for unparalleled ride quality and ultra-precise adjustability. GRIP2 includes our patented Variable Valve Control (VVC) technology which allows for external fine-tuning of suspension performance. GRIP2 achieves with the twist of a knob what typically requires the time consuming and complicated task of completely disassembling and reassembling the fork. -FLOAT EVOL Returning with the same legendary suppleness and longevity, the EVOL air spring in 34’s now has an enlarged negative air spring to assist with mid-stroke support. - Performance-Elite series with black anodized stanchions - Step Cast (SC) legs with narrow stance and stepped design to saves weight, decrease frontal area, and provide clearance for the spokes and brake rotor - FIT4 damper with 3-position damper control - 160mm to 203mm rotor compatible post mount - Lightweight Kabolt thru-axle - Tapered threadless steerer

Legends Never Die Back in a big way, the all-new Dorado Pro is ready to turn the suspension world upside down. Featuring an inverted design, carbon upper structure, 37mm stanchions, and refreshed internals the new Dorado Pro is the pinnacle of suspension technology. The new stiffer chassis is paired with an all-new sealed version of our TPC+ damper and improved Dorado Air Spring with an IRT volume adjuster. These technologies combined into one ultimate platform provide more than enough tunability to satisfy any savvy suspension tuner while being so easy to adjust that every rider can dial in their fork with ease. Key Features: - Carbon Fiber Legs and the 37mm chassis result in the stiffest and lightest Dorado to date. The carbon pro chassis is 27% stiffer than the previous 36mm version and 238g lighter than the new 37mm Expert version. They also have looks that can kill. - Inverted Design provides an incredibly smooth and consistent feel due to constant lubrication of the bushings and seals. The inverted design also provides a major increase in fore-aft stiffness compared to traditional forks while maintaining torsional compliance which provides more control to the rider over rough terrain. - Dorado Air Spring system contains a unique balancing valve that equalizes the positive and negative air chambers during the air-fill process resulting in a consistent feel without any flat or dead spots. It also allows easy Travel Adjustability from 180 to 190 and 203mm without the need for any spare parts. - IRT (Infinite Rate Tune) allows for advanced spring tuning by independently adjusting air pressures in the beginning and end stroke. IRT technology creates a secondary positive air spring that affects only the middle-to-end stroke of the fork. This allows the main air spring to be set to lower pressures for improved small bump sensitivity while maintaining mid-stroke support and moderate to aggressive end-stroke ramp-up. - Sealed TPC+ is a velocity and position-dependent damping circuit that maintains light damping through small bumps when the fork is high in its travel. As the fork compresses deeper in the travel the secondary TPC+ circuit engages and increases the damping force for added support and bottom-out prevention. Additionally, an independent Hydraulic Bottom-out circuit further increases the damping force in the final 30mm of travel to soften deep travel events and prevent hard bottom-out. The new cartridge design with spring-backed IFP fully seals damper oil for the most consistent damping on long demanding DH runs. Spring-backed IFP has improved performance during extreme riding, unlike a bladder an IFP pressurizes the oil at the initial stroke eliminating any cavitation for the most consistent damping. - Fits both 29" and 27.5" wheels. Markings on the outer legs indicate the proper clamping point for the ideal axle to crown measurements depending on wheel size. The fork legs can be used with both wheel sizes. - Two Crown Options are available with this fork. The 47 offset is designed to work with 27.5" wheels and intended axle to crown. The 57 offset crown is designed for 29" wheels and axle to crown. For those looking to run the lower offset crown with 29" wheels please reference our fit document to see if your headtube length is compatible. - TSR Bleed buttons allow you to release excess pressures built up in the outer legs of your fork with a simple tap of the button. This keeps your fork smooth and supple all day long. Product Details: - 37mm 6000 Series Aluminum stanchions with carbon fiber legs - Externally Adjustable: high-speed compression, low-speed compression, and rebound - Dorado air spring with IRT (Infinite Rate Tune) volume adjuster allows the rider to adjust mid-stroke support and bottom-out progressivity independent of initial spring rate - TPC+ Damper with HBO (Hydraulic Bottom Out) - TSR Bleeders - Includes removable bolt-on fender
