Manitou R7 Expert Mountain Bike Suspension ForkThis mountain bike (MTB) fork features a tough straight wall aluminium leg construction, which allows it to handle all of the intensity that's associated with training and competing. Coming equipped with an Expert Air spring, VTT compression damping and In-leg adjustable TPC rebound damping, this model allows riders to dial in their ideal riding preferences to match their style or the terrain conditions. Its adjustable air, rebound and three-position compression (Open, Trail and Lock), means that you'll enjoy a more rider-tuned feel with increased performance and reliability, as you tackle every off-road challenge that comes your way.Expert Air SpringThis trail-ready model features the Manitou Expert Air spring system, which contains a unique balancing valve that equalises 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.Variable Terrain Tune - 3-Position Compression AdjustWhen developing the VTT Pro damper, Manitou set out with a goal to maintain a rock-solid lockout without compromising the open and mid settings. The downside to many dampers with firm lockout modes is that in any other position than lock-out you will reach some critical shaft velocity that chokes off the low-speed flow path. When this happens the damper peaks at nearly the same lock-out force as the locked-out position. This translates to harsh force in the hands and possibly lack of control. The goal with VTT is to eliminate that high-speed spike while maintaining the lock-out force demanded by most XC users. This allows the fork to have a less progressive high-speed response while maintaining some low-speed support. This is achieved through independent shim stacks (one for Lockout, one for the other two positions). By controlling the shim stack through which the oil flow is diverted we can manipulate the characteristic of the damper to be Lock-out, Digressive, or progressive to meet the demands of the rider and terrain.ChassisWhen developing the chassis of this Manitou fork, the goal was to find the perfect balance of weight, stiffness, and reliability. Thanks to its Reverse Arch, Manitou is able to position the arch further away from the axle. The lower tyre clearance behind the fork relative to the centre of the axle allows for a shorter arch which yields 13% increased stiffness compared to a forward arch fork of the equivalent weight. Because of this, Manitou is able to use 32mm stanchions to save weight, while keeping stiffness closer to that of a larger stanchion fork with a forward-facing arch.Features: Leg Material: 6000-Series Straight Wall Aluminium Crown Material: Forged Aluminum, Hollow Bore Gloss Axle: 15x110mm Hexlock Use: MTB, XC Steerer Diameter: 1.5" Tapered Leg Diameter: 32mm Spring: Expert Air Compression Damping: VTT Rebound Damping: In-leg adjustable TPC Adjustments: Air, Rebound, 3-position Compression (Open, Trail, Lock) Brake Post Mount: 160mm (203mm Max) Max Tyre Size: 68mm 77mm (27.5"+); 68mm (29") Offset: 37mm (27.5"); 44mm (27.5+/29") Ride Height: 471-511mm (27.5"); 485-525mm (27.5+/29") E-Pac: No Weight: 1789g (27.5"); 1812g (27.5+/29")Manufacturer's Part Numbers: 191-36972-A001 Black 27.5" x 100mm 37mm 191-36972-A002 Black 27.5" x 120mm 37mm 191-36976-A001 Black 27.5+/29" x 100mm 44mm 191-36976-A002 Black 27.5+/29" x 120mm 44mmBuy Manitou Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.

Manitou Mezzer Expert Suspension ForkThis enduro suspesnion fork features 37mm stanchions that are constructed from 7000 series aluminium and Reverse Arch technology, using the same chassis as Manitou's Mezzer Pro suspension fork. This allows it to deliver exceptional stiffness and strength, while also being incredibly lightweight at only 2030g (27.5” option). As a result, the Expert is the second lightest fork in the Enduro category, second only to the Mezzer Pro of course. Another highlight is it comes race-ready with an Expert Air air spring with Incremental Volume Adjust (IVA) for an impressively smooth feel as you charge across challenging terrain conditions. It also offers a wide range of adjustment features from its Variable Terrain Tune (VTT) damper that can easily be tweaked to suit any terrain thanks to its six positions. With adjustable Air, Air Volume, Rebound, 6-position Compression (Open, Trail, Lock), this suspension fork is the smart choice for anyone looking to dive into the Enduro Fork market.Enduro Fork with Expert Air SpringExpert Air is derived from Manitou's Dorado Air system and features a unique balancing valve that equalizes the positive and negative air chambers during the air fill process. This valve is activated only when the pump is threaded completely onto the valve. This gives the spring rate a smooth and consistent feel without any flat or dead spots in the stroke.Six Position Variable Terrain Tune (VTT) DamperAdjusted through a single external compression adjuster, both high-speed and low-speed damping characteristics are changed simultaneously when turning the knob. The damper features a fixed shim stack and a secondary shim stack that is preloaded by the external adjuster. In positions 1 and 2 there is an open flow path through the compression damper. In positions 3-6, the adjustable shim stack comes into contact with the piston, increasing platform force. This design provides a wide tuning range that combines the benefits of a low-speed platform and a high-speed progressive tune that can suit any terrain through 6 positions.Hexlock SL AxleManitou's patented hex axle locks the lower legs in place, eliminating rotation around the axle providing unsurpassed stiffness in a lightweight tooled package.Features: Leg Material: 7000 Series Butted Wall Aluminium Crown Material: Forged Aluminium, Hollow Bore Leg Diameter: 37mm Use: Enduro Axle Size: 15x110mm Hexlock Steerer Diameter: 1 1/8-1.5" tapered Air Spring: Expert Air with Incremental Volume Adjust (IVA) Compression Damping: Six Position Variable Terrain Tune Rebound Damping: Open Cartridge adjustable TPC Adjustments: Air, Air Volume, Rebound, 6-position Compression (Open, Trail, Lock) Offset: 37/44OS (27.5" Option); 44/51OS (29" Option) Ride Height: 534-574mm (27.5" Option); 554-594mm (29" Option) Travel: Multiple options available.

VTT-6P damper provides 6 easy clicks to dial in your damping for all types of terrain. Integrated fender can be installed/removed by three small screws threaded into the arch of the fork. TSR (Trail Side Relief) valves on the back of the lower legs allow you to bleed off built up air within the lower legs to keep things butter smooth between service intervals.Manufacturer's Part Numbers: 191-36964-A101 Black 29" x 180mm 44mm 191-37137-A101 Black 27.5" x 180mm 37mm 191-36964-A103 Black 29" x 160mm 44mmBuy Manitou Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
