For some reason, I prefer this instead of the RS recon air because of its lighter weight. It came with a Suntour XCR pogo stick, so I paired it with a DB Recoil Comp 29er, which is light years better than the Suntour XCR that came with The fact that they give you more subtle decals to go over the standard ones is also nice. On the fork, I've hit substantial drops and jumps, and it hasn't let me down. For the price, I am extremely satisfied.
When I put on my Trek Marlin 5 compared to my stock Suntour, there is a huge difference.
This fork was purchased by my son in October 2018 with money he received as a birthday gift. When I was riding around the yard in early December, the fork had stopped moving. It had no further travel and was completely In the end, Manitou replaced the parts under warranty thanks to the local bike shop. After playing phone tag for several weeks, the local bicycle shop finally got the parts it needed.

In comparison to the lower-income group This fork offers an outstanding value compared to the long-lasting and high-end SR Suntour coil forks found on so many bikes today. The length has been reduced by half, and compression and rebound damping have been improved. The ride quality is incredible. I was amazed at its ease of adaptation to my Diamondback Overdrive. I would buy it again without a doubt.
The idea of changing them out has been on my mind for a while, but I It would have been nice to have done it earlier! It's just a matter of buying I love the new forks they are lighter than my old forks, have more tuning options, and most importantly they ride well. My only wish is that they would come in white. I love it!.
I own a 2009 GT 29er, and this fork has taken it to a whole new level. It is easy to use Lockout. My weight is 250 and I've never dropped below that. As soon as the bike has been set up for your height and style, manuals and wheelies are a snap.
A nice upgrade over the coil sprung forks you had on your entry level bike. Modifications can be made to allow for travel of 120mm. This bike comes with both red and grey graphics so your ride will match its graphics. Forks are sturdy enough to support my 265lbs body when I blast If you are going up steep hills, you can lock out. In the years to come, as the sport becomes more popular, it may be harder to find other name brand forks. The Manatou Markhor is an entry-level.
As far as I can tell, they seem great. The reason why I'm heavy is that I'm big On bumpy city streets, they ride nice because we pump them up firm. I find them to be quite lightweight, When I removed them from the box, I was impressed with them.
