Lighter, stiffer, and more tunable than its competitors, the Mattoc is the desired componentry for all bikes. The Mattoc Expert should be on your bike not just because it can address all needs, but because it can improve the riding experience in a meaningful way. The Expert version of #thepeoplesfork tips the scales at a scant 1770 grams yet is stiffer than nearly anything else available in its travel range. Translation: an extremely lightweight and efficient build whose industry leading stiffness ensures precise and reactive handling ready to outperform any other product it is compared to. The Manitou Expert boasts an Expert Air spring with IVA, and compression damping via the VTT-6P (Variable Terrain Tune) is our 6 position damper technology featuring a single external compression adjuster that simultaneously adjusts HS and LS damping characteristics. It features a fixed shim stack and a secondary shim stack that is preloaded by the external adjuster. The resulting wide tuning range combines the benefits of a Low-speed platform and High-speed progressive tune can suite any terrain. From fire-road climbs to big flowy jump lines to high-speed chunky rocks, VTT-6P can adapt to all terrain with flick of a switch.
• 27.5” is 20g less than the previous model.
• Over 19% stiffness increase from current 27.5”
160mm to new 27.5” 150mm. 29” Stiffness
increases are higher.
• Expert 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
• Expert 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. Expert Air has identical performance to
DoradoTM Air in a more cost effective package.
• Incremental Volume Adjust (IVA) modifies
the volume in the positive air chamber with
self contained spacers dictating the position
of the IVA piston. This allows the main
air spring ramp-up to be tuned to the rider
weight, style and conditions without the need
for additional parts.
• A single external compression adjuster that
simultaneously adjusts HS and LS damping
characteristics. It features a fixed shim stack
and a secondary shim stack that is preloaded
by the external adjuster. The resulting wide
tuning range combines the benefits of a Low-
speed platform and High-speed progressive
tune can suite any terrain.
• Trail Side Relief casting bleed screws allow
users to release casting pressure from the
fork. Casting pressure increase is normal, and
extreme riding can increase the pressure at a
fast rate. Temperature and elevation changes
can also cause increased casting pressure.
Releasing casting pressure can improve
overall fork feel and small bump compliance.
