The Manitou Mattoc Expert redefines lightweight precision and total trail dominance. Lighter, stiffer, and more tunable than the competition, this is the fork that belongs on every serious build. Tipping the scales at just 1770g, it delivers industry-leading chassis rigidity for razor-sharp, reactive handling that turns every line into pure confidence—whether you're climbing fire roads, flowing jumps, or smashing chunky descents. The Expert Air spring with IVA (Incremental Volume Adjust) lets you dial travel from 110-150mm internally—no extra parts needed. Precision spacers maintain consistent initial stroke feel across setups, while the unique balancing valve eliminates flat spots for smooth, predictable ramp-up that matches your weight, style, and conditions perfectly. Compression control comes via the VTT-6P damper: a single external knob adjusts both high- and low-speed damping simultaneously across six positions. Fixed and preloaded shim stacks blend low-speed platform support with high-speed progression, adapting instantly to any terrain with one flick. Trail-side relief bleed screws keep casting pressure in check for optimal small-bump sensitivity, no matter the heat, elevation, or abuse. Upgrade to the Mattoc Expert. Feel the difference—lighter weight, superior stiffness, unmatched tunability. 29" 44mm offset 1740-1760g weight Air w/IVA, VTT-6 Damping Rebound, Open Cartridge adjustable TPC Adjustments: Air, Air Volume, Rebound, 3-position Compression (Open, Trail, Lock) With Open Mode Low Speed Compression Adjustment
