This is the best fork money can buy, hands down. This thing grips like nobody's business, it is the most forgiving fork you can ride, where other forks will wash out or throw you over the bars, this thing picks you right back up and then goes faster! You will ride in complete disbeliefat the things you can do, and/or get away with, it'll save your ass more times then you'll ever be able to count. And did i mention the grip? I don't even remember what it feels like to wash the front end anymore, and i'm going twice as hard and twice as fast as before. There is simply no compromise on this fork, within 1 or 2 clicks of the stock recommended settings its as supple as you could ever want over the small chatter with out diving, plenty of mid stroke support that doesnt push the front end or wallow too deep in the travel, and an amazingly smooth bottom out that will never kick back. Don't waste your time with the garbage other companies are selling, get what works, you will NOT regret it.
love them i ride them on my makulu and there the best product out there i would recommend them to everyone

The new Dorado Pro is an engineering masterpiece. 7050 legs, inverted construction, dual-chamber air spring, TPC+ damping (with independent high- and low-speed compression), hydraulic bottom-out and top-out, and Manitou's patented HexLock 20mm thru-axle add up to the most advanced downhill fork ever.
Specifications Compare to other Forks
| Price | ||
|---|---|---|
| Weight | 2973.7 g | |
| Travel | 180/203 mm |
Travel - refers to the distance the wheel can move in respect to the frame. Typically measured in millimeters, most forks range from 80 to 203 mm of travel
|
| Spring | Air | |
| Crown | Dual | |
| Rebound | Low and High Speed |
Rebound - is how quick your fork returns to a fully extended position after being compressed. Almost all after-market forks feature external rebound adjustment for easy fine tuning.
|
| Stanchion material | Aluminum | |
| Steer Tube | 1.125 | |
| Damping | TPC+ |
Damping - The process of absorbing the energy of impacts transmitted through the forks or rear shock during the compression stroke, and absorbing the energy of the spring during the rebound stroke.
|
| DropOut Options | 20mm | |
| Compression | Compression (High Speed and TPC+) |
Compression - This is the damping circuit that absorbs the compression energy force on the damper. Compression damping is used to adjust how quickly a fork or rear shock compresses when hitting a bump, and is adjustable on some products. When compression damping is too soft, this condition allows most of the available travel to be used without attaining control of the wheel. When it's adjusted too firmly, the wheel will jump or "dance" about when hitting small bumps, again failing to gain control of the wheel.
