Description
Specifications

Upgrade your XC racing setup with the Manitou R8 Pro Suspension Fork - the ultimate 29-inch trail companion engineered for peak performance, lightweight agility, and durability. Crafted with precision and tested on the World Cup circuit, this high-performance fork combines cutting-edge materials and technology to deliver superior control, responsiveness, and reliability on demanding trails.

Materials & Construction

Built with a 34mm Hyperlite chassis and premium 7000 series straight thin wall legs, the Manitou R8 Pro is designed for optimal weight savings without compromising strength. Its tapered steerer tube, lightweight axle (only 25 grams with Hexlock SL-R), and direct mount fender contribute to a featherlight weight of just 1,480 grams, ensuring maximum efficiency on every climb and descent.

Performance & Engineering

Developed with top-tier athletes over nearly two World Cup seasons, the R8 Pro features Manitou's innovative XC-specific Dorado Air spring for smooth, predictable travel. The new VTT Pro-X sealed damper system further reduces weight while providing consistent damping across high and low-speed compression adjustments, including external High-Speed, Low-Speed, and Rebound damping controls. The 120mm travel and 44mm offset optimize your bike's handling for XC racing and trail riding, offering precise steering and stability.

Components & Technology

The fork's advanced suspension technology includes application-specific shaft lengths and materials for enhanced durability. The crown lockout feature allows you to stiffen the fork instantly for climbs or sprinting, while the external adjustments give you tailored damping control, ensuring optimal performance in varied terrain conditions. Its 15mm thru-axle (110mm spacing) ensures quick, secure wheel changes and precise tracking.

Style & Use Case

Designed in sleek black with a silver accent, the Manitou R8 Pro is as stylish as it is functional. Perfect for competitive XC riders and serious trail enthusiasts, this fork excels in fast-paced singletrack, technical climbs, and sprint finishes. Its lightweight, responsive profile makes it ideal for marathon races, technical descents, or upgrade projects seeking pro-level performance.

Innovative & Differentiating Features

- Developed on the World Cup circuit for elite racing performance

- Manitou's lightest air spring, Dorado Air, for weight savings and smooth operation

- XC-specific VTT Pro-X sealed damper for precise damping reduction in weight

- Ultra-light Hexlock SL-R 15mm thru-axle for quick installation and reliability
