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.

This smooth performing enduro-ready model also boasts the renowned Kashima coating and offers a wide range of adjustments.This race-ready enduro suspension fork features a revised design both inside and out for smooth and reliable front end suspension performance. No stranger to winning awards, accolades and Enduro World Series (EWS) races, this model is prepared for everything from big backcountry routes to the EWS circuit. Fox Suspension has also equipped it with Boost axle spacing, making it ideal for modern enduro thanks to its extra stiffness. It also offers a wide range of adjustability from its lightweight Float EVOL air spring and its FIT4 damper that enable you to easily set it up to match your riding style. Part of the brand's renowned Factory Series, it includes the best-of-the-best technologies and it comes complete with a genuine Kashima coating on its upper tubes for slippery smooth, ultra-durable performance.Enduro Fork with Float EVOL Air SpringEVOL technology increases negative air spring volume, optimising small bump sensitivity. EVOL’s linear spring curve delivers plushness off the top, extra mid-stroke support, and more tuneable bottom-out progression. The benefits of EVOL are further enhanced by Fox Suspension's Lower Leg channels and Bleeders, which both function to reduce air pressure captured in the lower legs, allowing the EVOL air spring to operate freely without unintended interference.FIT4 DamperIn its fourth generation, Fox Suspension's patented FIT4 closed cartridge system provides three on-the-fly compression damping positions (Open, Medium, and Firm) to adapt to varying trail conditions. Factory Series forks feature an additional 22 clicks of low-speed compression adjust in the Open mode, allowing riders to fine-tune their exact damping preferences.Features: Upper Tubes Finish: Genuine Kashima Coat Use: MTB Axle: 15QRx110mm Boost Steerer: 1.1/8" to 1.5" Tapered Offset: 44mm Air Spring: Float EVOL Damper: FIT4 (Quick on-the-fly 3-position adjust) Brake Rotor Compatibility: 180mm direct Post Mount, up to 230mm compatibleTechnologies: Factory Series: “Factory” says it all - feature-packed and designed to exceed the demands of Factory-level riders.

Additional low-speed compression (Open mode adjust) 22 clicks. Low-speed rebound 10 clicks Floating Axle: Floating axles might look similar to other axles, but in fact they offer a distinct performance advantage due to their unique ability to match the exact width of the fork’s wheel mounting surface precisely to the front hub flange spacing, thus creating perfect chassis alignment and eliminating unwanted friction between the upper and lower fork legs. Floating axles provide much smoother suspension movement throughout the entire range of the fork’s travel, notably improving sensitivity and overall ride quality. The all-new 36 and 38 come equipped with a new quick-release lever operated patent-pending floating axle system, combining the benefit of a floating axle with the ease of a tool-free quick-release. With this system, spacing is locked in via a floating sleeve, allowing repeated front wheel removal and reinstallation while maintaining perfect fork alignment. Floating sleeve positioning comes preset from the factory so if you are unsure of how to operate the floating axle system or simply don’t want to bother with it, you can just install the front wheel and get on with your ride 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. Fox Suspension's 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. Another benefit of these channels is that lower leg bath oil is circulated to the upper reaches of the lower legs, continuously lubricating the foam rings and bushings as the fork compresses and extends through its travel Bleeders: Fox Suspension's lower leg bleeders allow for atmospheric pressure equalization at the simple press of a button. Pressure build-up in the lower legs dramatically decreases fork performance, preventing full travel from being achieved, and diminishing small bump sensitivity and responsiveness 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. Fox Suspension's lower leg design pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise stiffness or strength requirements of modern enduro and gravity style riding. Modern frame designs and geometry trends require modern suspension design solutions. The arch design of the all-new 36, 38, and 40 is designed to pair perfectly with modern Enduro and Downhill bikes. Head tube profiles have grown larger and larger, and fork offsets shorter and shorter. Fox Suspension's new arch shape takes this need into account by jutting forward to provide ample headtube clearance at full compression. State-of-the-art computer modeling techniques helped us to create an organic lower leg shape that optimizes stiffness with the absolute minimal amount of material Increased crown diameter to match modern frame shape profiles. Optional mudguard with sturdy 4-point direct-mount attachment protects upper tubes and dust wipers from dirt and debris.

‘AT’ stands for All Terrain. Our new gravel adventure bike frameset to do it all. The Kinesis Tripster AT frameset takes our years of experience gained from the now legendary Tripster ATR and our range of championship winning cyclocross bikes, to create a bike capable of almost all terrains and adventures for all seasons. During the development of the Kinesis Tripster AT we also worked closely with the late Mike Hall in the design process and gained from Mike’s knowledge and love of long distance, multi-terrain riding. The final production model features a number of enhancements thanks to Mike’s input and you can see this referenced on the frame graphics. The Tripster AT boasts cutting edge adventure bike features and versatility, allowing it to be built to excel across a variety of uses. Commute on it, ride bridleways and gravel with it, go bike packing on it, ride across continents on it. The new Tripster AT will take all of this in its stride and more.
