Manitou Mastodon Pro 2024 Suspension Fork

Manitou Mastodon Pro 2024 Suspension Fork

The Mastadon Fat bike fork delivers all-temperature performance, working equally well in the winter or summer – soaking up ground chatter and big hits. The ‘Extended ride height’ version, which FBC exclusively carries, fit up to 26×5.15” or 27.5×4.5” tires.  All-temperature performance born of frigid winter ride-testing. 34mm trail chassis is stiffer and steers more precisely than any other fat bike suspension fork.

Note: FBC offers the Mastadon Pro 120mm configuration however this fork can be converted easily down to 100mm or up to 140mm and works well for bikes with 26, 27.5 fat and 29″ summer wheel set ups.

Technologies

• 106g of weight savings from the previous model with new crown, legs and internals.

• DoradoTM air allows for internal travel adjustments with no added parts. New travel spacers account for negative air volume change, so the 80mm fork has the same initial stroke feel as the 160mm.

• Expert Air spring systems contain a unique balancing valve that equalizes the positive and negative air chambers during the air fill process. This gives the spring rate a consistent feel without any flat or dead spots in the stroke, along with giving riders of different weights the same initial stroke feel. Dorado Air is our lightest weight air spring technology.

• Incremental Volume Adjust (IVA) modifies the volume in the positive air chamber with self contained spacers dictating the position of the IVA piston. This allows the main air spring ramp-up to be tuned to the rider weight, style and conditions without the need for additional parts.

• A single external compression adjuster that simultaneously adjusts HS and LS damping characteristics. It features a fixed shim stack and a secondary shim stack that is preloaded by the external adjuster. The resulting wide tuning range combines the benefits of a Low- speed platform and High-speed progressive tune can suite any terrain.

• New crown is 84g lighter, with increased knob clearance. 44mm offset to match modern fatbike geometry for precise handling and increased traction.

• Front brake routing allows the user to use the same length brake hose from their rigid fork, or other suspension fork. New arch ribs for increased casting stiffness.

• Tire diameter clearance is 2mm shorter that current EXT model, with a 6mm reduction of axle to crown. 796mm satisfies every fatbike tire on the market!
