Manitou stuff is really awesome these days! I have a custom tuned Pike RCT3, X-Fusion Sweep Roughtcut HLR (close), and Mattoc/Maston forks. The Manitou has the best damping and is very tunable especially with the IRT (Pro models only).
If you need any help, been rebuilding those for years.

I'll be monitoring the used market once fat bike season comes to an end. Shame Fox doesn't have a fat bike fork.

Just got my shipping notification. UPS ground from Colorado, will have it Tuesday. 🤷🏻♂️
i got note that they are going to send out of the PA location by friday -
does this mean they bulk ship stuff to a location, then split it for 'last mile' - ?
wow.

They have a few locations, When I ordered Sunday I got an email saying it would ship by Wednesday and today got the UPS notification, its coming right from Colorado. They must've gotten another one in their PA warehouse and thats the one going to you.You'll probably it sooner than me.

Is it just me or these newer forks have vaguely the retro look of the old answer-manitou forks? Surprised there hasn’t been a complaint on the brand name yet.

It’s not the fork that excite me, it’s the stickers that came in that box that makes it so exciting.

Just got in my first ride with it at Lewis Morris and loved it. I can't compare to how it would have felt on that trail with a rigid fork, but I noticed the suspension and it felt like a regular mountain bike. I hit 4 PRs on climbs, can't say that was the fork but I could definitely see why people switch to a fat bike year 'round.
