Overview
The new Mattoc is the fruit of one of the most profound development cycles in Manitou history. It is not an offering that follows the crowd, but rather a component that aims to add real value to the rider. Capable of pulling duty in a range of disciplines from XC to light enduro with zero compromise makes the Mattoc "best-in-class". At 1750 grams it is a featherweight solution given its wide travel range, yet its industry leading stiffness lends it to performance without rival.
Features
34mm chassis represents best in class for both weight and stiffness - 30% stiffer than previous version at just 1750g.
MC² trail-tuned sealed damper offers consistent damping and lighter breakaway force especially over long descents.
Bladder system with relief valve compensates for heat buildup providing consistency and long service life.
HBO (Hydraulic Bottom Out) system controls final 30mm of travel ensuring rider never feels bottom even on biggest hits.
IRT (Infinite Rate Tune) allows independent air pressure adjustment in beginning and end stroke for advanced spring tuning.
