Manitou Dorado Comp Suspension Fork

Manitou Dorado Comp Suspension Fork

Featuring a robust 6000 series aluminium leg construction, this mountain bike (MTB) suspension fork delivers tough and dependable performance as you charge down the trail. Coming kitted out with Boost axle spacing, it also ensures stiffer, stronger and more efficient handling when dominating your way across challenging terrain conditions. Benefitting from post most disc brake rotor compatibility, it offers reliable front-end suspension performance in combination with your powerful and consistent braking set-up.

Inverted Design and 37mm Stanchions

Inverted forks provide an incredibly smooth and consistent feel due to the constant lubrication of the bushings and seals. Inverted forks also provide a major increase in fore-aft stiffness with much longer bushing overlap compared to traditional fork designs while maintaining torsional compliance which provides more control to the rider over rough trail sections. 37mm proved to be the perfect balance of increased stiffness, weight savings, and an ideal seal surface area for reduced friction. Compared to the previous 36mm version of the Dorado, the updated 37mm alloy increased in stiffness at 20% for both fore-aft and torsionally when compared to the former 36mm. Dorado Comp is also electric bike (E-bike) certified.

Coil Spring and Absolute Plus (ABS+) Damping

Ready for fast and intense rides, this model is equipped with a coil spring for maximum bump sensitivity and simple service procedures. Known for its incredible reliability and easy tuning, its Absolute Plus (ABS+) damper is a shim stack based damper that features external incremental Low Speed compression adjustment. The piston and shim stack are adaptable for a wide range of riding styles.

Coil Fans Rejoice!

Once again, the Dorado is available with a coil option. The updated Dorado Comp features the same 37mm chassis as the Expert, but with a more set it and forget it vibe. The coil spring provides a smooth consistent feel 100% of the time with 0% of any hassle. On the damping side of things, our ABS+ Damper offers a great adjustment range, terrific reliability, and easy serviceability. The Manitou Dorado Comp Suspension Fork is built for riders who just want to ride and not sweat any of the small stuff.

Technologies:

• 37mm Chassis results in a massive increase in stiffness and ride quality. The updated chassis is 20% stiffer compared to the brand’s former 36mm version.
• Inverted Design provides an incredibly smooth and consistent feel due to constant lubrication of the bushings and seals. The inverted design also provides a major increase in fore-aft stiffness compared to traditional forks while maintaining torsional compliance which provides more control to the rider over rough terrain.
• Coil Spring provides maximum bump sensitivity and simple service procedures. The standard spring rate provided in the fork is a medium rate of 35lb/in. For tuning, there are six spring rates available for this fork; 25lb/in, 30lb/in, 35lb/in, 40lb/in, 45lb/in, 50lb/in.
• ABS+ damper is known for its incredible reliability and easy tunability. Adjustments include a low-speed compression adjust and low-speed rebound adjustment.
• Fits both 29″ and 27.5″ wheels. Markings on the outer legs indicate the proper clamping point for ideal axle to crown measurements depending on wheelsize. The fork legs can be used with both wheel sizes.
• Two Crown Options are available with this fork. The 47 offset is designed to work with 27.5″ wheels and intended axle to crown. The 57 offset crown is designed for 29″ wheels and axle to crown. For those looking to run the lower offset crown with 29″ wheels please reference our fit document to see if your headtube length is compatible.
• TSR Bleed Screws allow you to release excess pressures built up in the outer legs of your fork while riding keeping your fork smooth and supple all day long.
