Overview

Legends Never Die. Back in a big way, the all-new Dorado Pro is ready to turn the suspension world upside down. Featuring an inverted design, carbon upper structure, 37mm stanchions, and refreshed internals, the new Dorado Pro is the pinnacle of suspension technology. The stiffer chassis is paired with an all-new sealed version of the TPC+ damper and improved Dorado Air Spring with IRT volume adjuster.

Features

  • Carbon fiber upper tubes allow 238g weight savings compared to alloy while increasing stiffness and providing premium aesthetics.

  • Inverted design provides incredibly smooth consistent feel with constant lubrication of bushings and seals throughout travel.

  • TPC+ Twin-Piston Cartridge is velocity and position dependent damping maintaining light damping through small bumps high in travel.

  • Secondary TPC+ circuit engages deeper in travel increasing damping force for added support and bottom-out prevention.

  • Independent Hydraulic Bottom-out circuit further increases damping force in final 30mm preventing hard bottom out on big hits.

  • Dorado Air spring with unique balancing valve equalizes positive and negative chambers for consistent feel without flat spots.

  • TSR Bleed Buttons allow excess pressure in outer legs to be equalized with simple button press on top cap.

  • IRT (Infinite Rate Tune) allows independent adjustment of beginning and end stroke for advanced spring tuning.

  • 37mm stanchions provide major increase in fore-aft stiffness with longer bushing overlap while maintaining torsional compliance.

  • Inverted design delivers 20% increase in fore-aft and torsional stiffness compared to previous 36mm Dorado generation.

  • E-bike certified for demanding use on high-powered electric mountain bikes.

  • Legendary Dorado returns after 11 years with modern carbon construction and cutting-edge damping technology.
