They are great forks. I have bottomed out once but that was on a bail. i love how you can change how stiff it is. i don't use the lockout though. the description says xc/trail fork, but i use it for everything i do. i ride some pretty gnarly stuff on the fork. big hits, steep chutes, anything i can find. yeah manitou!

A great fork communicates everything that's happening between your tire and trail. At this price point there's no MATCH for this ultra stiff 32mm stanchioned, coil sprung, xc/trail fork. Torsional rigidity, damper curves that sing and that butter smooth Manitou feel.

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.

| Steer Tube | 1.125 | |
| DropOut Options | Regular QR | |
| Compression | TPC Technology Absolute+ |
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.
