The new Mattoc is the fruit of one of the most profound development cycles in Manitou's 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 Manitou's 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, personalised 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.

Technology

MC2 Damper

The Mattoc Pro features a trail tuned MC2 sealed damper that offers more consistent damping and lighter break away force, especially over long descents. Manitou's Damper uses a bladder system to compensate for heat build up along with a relief valve. Using both systems give Manitou consistency along with long service life. The system uses Manitou’s HBO (Hydraulic Bottom Out) system to control the final 30mm of travel, ensuring the rider never feels the bottom of their travel on even the biggest hits.

Infinite Rate Tune

Infinite Rate Tune (IRT) allows for advanced spring tuning by independently adjusting air pressures in the beginning and end stroke and is available as an aftermarket upgrade to both Expert and Comp forks. 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.

Chassis

What makes the Mattoc’s versatility even more amazing is that it comes without compromise. The "versatile specificity" of this fork means that it adapts perfectly to many disciplines and styles of riding and performs flawlessly in each and every one. The 34mm chassis represents best in class in terms of both weight and stiffness yet presents zero downsides for this strong, reliable and amazingly lightweight construction. The new Mattoc platform is 30% stiffer than the previous version and at 1750 grams for the Pro model it is both light and stiff enough for XC racing yet built not only to survive but thrive in situations all the way to light enduro.

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
Dorado 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 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. Dorado Air is ourlightest weight air spring technology
Sealed Dampers offer more consistent damping and lighter break away force, especially over long descents. Manitou's Damper uses a bladder system to compensate for head build up along with a relief valve. Using both systems give Manitou 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 canimprove overall fork feel and small bump compliance
