hey is there any advantages/disavantages to an inverted fork i am looking to buy a new dh fork and i cant decide between a 40 or a manitou? any suggestions?

there is less unsprung weight so it takes less for the suspension to work over small bumps and that kind of thing. its also better in rock gardens and that kind of thing because it doesnt get deflected off rocks and stuff so it is easier to keep a good line without your bars being kicked around everywhere. also manitou has a really good dampener and it is just really nice and bottomless feeling

shorty2 (Feb 7, 2011 at 20:38)

giantrider-1 (Feb 7, 2011 at 20:44)

i cant decide between a 2010 dorado mrd and a 2011 888 rc3

shorty2 (Feb 7, 2011 at 20:55)

they are both good i like the dorado though. why a 2010 not 2011 dorado

giantrider-1 (Feb 7, 2011 at 21:12)

the dorado is used for 750 and the 888 is owned by somebody but never used for 775 so idk which one i want. and the dorado was ridden by logan binggeli in redbull rampage so idk if i really want it.

try them both and you can figure it out

giantrider-1 (Feb 7, 2011 at 21:54)
