hey all i did do a search but it wasnt conclusive.
i would just like to ask the difference between
-manitou travis 07+
-boxxer race+team 07+
these are to go on and giant glory.
some of the Questions that i have are:
-performance wise which one out of the three is the best?
-which fork suits the bike better?
-is it worth going for the more expensive teams?
-does anyone else have any of the above on thier glory? how do they feel?
- has anyone felt all of these forks or 2 of the three?what is your opinon?
- do manitou travis hold up well? do they keep performing well during a run(i.e. consitant performance)?

thanks all

I run 07 manitou travis 180mm forks with the 08 aircartridge on my 07 glory dh. They go so well, never bottom out. Don't know why theres all the fuss about manitou being shit. Find them good for rockgardens, havent tested them on any decent jumps. Cornering is awsome to. Felt some boxxer races on another glory before they were serviced. Just hated the feel of them. The travis remind me of 888's ata in a way. Very plush. Feel so good under you. Go manitou!

heyy dude
my mate has a pair of manitou travis's on his giant dh team and i personally dont like the feel of them at all. they dont feel vey plush or smooth IMO
i have a 08 norco atomik with 08 boxxer races on it and they run so well its not funny they feel really plush and smooth
i suggest getting either boxxer teams or races they both run good .
hope that helps
