Experience Cutting-Edge Performance with the Manitou R8 Pro Suspension Fork - 29", 120mm Travel, Remote Lockout, Black/Silver

Elevate your cross-country (XC) riding to competitive levels with the Manitou R8 Pro Suspension Fork, meticulously engineered through extensive World Cup testing and athlete collaboration. Designed for XC racers and serious trail riders, this lightweight, high-performance fork combines innovative engineering, premium materials, and advanced damping technology to deliver exceptional responsiveness, control, and durability.

Materials & Construction

Built with a 34mm Hyperlite chassis featuring ultra-lightweight, straight-wall 7000 series aluminum legs, the Manitou R8 Pro ensures maximum strength-to-weight ratio at just 1,480 grams. The tapered steerer tube allows for increased stiffness and precise steering, while the direct-mount fender compatibility reduces weight without sacrificing mud clearance. The fork's components integrate premium, application-specific shaft lengths and high-grade materials to optimize performance on demanding XC courses.

Performance & Engineering

Developed on the World Cup circuit with elite athletes, the R8 Pro boasts Manitou's proprietary Dorado Air spring and XC-specific IVA volume adjustment, providing smooth, responsive travel tailored for cross-country racing. The 120mm travel ensures efficient shock absorption for varied terrain, while the negative air spring enhances small bump compliance and traction.

Components & Technology

- VTT Pro-X Sealed Damper: An XC-specific, lightweight damper system that offers precise external adjustments, including high-speed and low-speed compression damping, as well as rebound control, for customizable performance on race day.

- Hexlock SL-R Axle: Manitou's lightest axle, weighing only 25 grams, ensures reliable front-wheel security while minimizing weight.

- Remote Lockout: Easily switch between locked and open modes via handlebar-mounted remote, optimizing efficiency during climbs and technical sections.

- Brake Compatibility: Post Mount 160mm interface compatible with a wide range of disc brake setups for reliable stopping power.

Style & Use Case

With its sleek black color accented by silver detailing, the Manitou R8 Pro embodies a professional-grade aesthetic suitable for competitive XC racing, trail riding, and demanding mountain adventures. Its featherlight design and advanced damping make it the perfect choice for racers seeking maximum efficiency, as well as riders looking for a premium upgrade to their XC build.

Innovative & Differentiating Features
