manitou stance static

[5PIDEY]

hey, im looking at getting a new fork, and i saw these on jenson, they look mad, 100mm, black and only 250 us. what do all you guys think about these. http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product.aspx?i=FK605A25

From what I can gather, they use a basic orifice damping system, so don't expect the performance to be the same as the Shermans. They'll be a great competitor to the Marzocchi DJ line of forks, but the Manitou's will hopefully have the upper hand with weight and stiffness. I'm interested to see what the reviews say of them, and the price certainly looks right too.

Oh wait... fuck... just read they have cromo stanchions. So should be bloody strong, but forget any chance of them weighing a reasonable amount.

but 1.08 lb lighter than the 04 dj3

Basically a black with cromo stanchions?

Could always chuck in an spv kit at around $189.
