 the fork looks like is at 130mm, but i think it is 120mm... look at the top of a tube where plastic is... the plastic is cut real short which makes this 'illusion' of long travel...
this /manitou circus forks/ are all prototypes and they are still looking for the best design,,,

 Monster truck vibe.

 still: bb is at correct height.

 wrong, manitous always have more visible travel than is used, the brace between the two lowers' sides is on the rear, there needs to be more clearance to prevent this hitting the downtube. hence why all manitou forks besides the dorados look longer than they actually are.
