The Ugly Duckling of Enduro Forks - Manitou Mezzer Pro Long-Term Review (Product Review)

Overall Review
Early to the party of contemporary thick-stanchioned enduro forks, Manitou's Mezzer Pro has remained largely unchanged since its release nearly six years ago. A relatively low cost alongside end-user tunability and serviceability have earned it a cult-like following in that time. Despite such a following, unconventional aesthetics, rare OE spec and minimal representation under top racers have likely kept the Mezzer Pro from the list of must-have forks for most riders. To get to the bottom of all the fables and lore, I joined the cult of the Mezzer for a few months to find out if I'm a true...

First Ride: Manitou Jack Dropper Post (Product Review)

Overall Review
If you’ve followed our dropper post coverage for some time, you’ll know that BikeYoke’s Revive is sitting pretty atop the leaderboard of our big shootout feature, and with good reason: the Revive is smooth, solid and extremely reliable, which are all desirable yet not always common attributes in a dropper. Add to that the innovative Revive feature, an external bleed valve that allows you to reset the hydraulics if any air should manage to work itself into the system, and you’re looking at the gold standard. Why are we talking about the BikeYoke post in this Manitou article? Because the Manitou...

First Look: 2017 Mongoose Teocali Pro Enduro Bike (Product Review)

Overall Review
Mongoose is a household name in our two-wheeled culture. Their history in BMX is as versed as their involvement in mountain biking, and they've made sure smiles can be had in the dirt for nearly 40 years. Mongoose continues to focus on value and accessibility with their products. The brand's famous Teocali model now comes in four different full-suspension aluminum offerings in 2017. The Teocali Sport starts at just $1899 and their high-end Teocali Pro, featured here, runs only $3499 retail. Mongoose also offers their bikes for direct purchase on mongoose.com and they'll be available through...

Tested: Manitou Mattoc Pro Fork (Product Review)

Overall Review
Review by Fred Robinson // Photos by Ian Collins After a promising looking product launch from Manitou, we were anxious to get our hands on their newest offering, the Mattoc fork. Aimed at the All Mountain side of the sport, we were excited to learn that the Mattoc borrowed some tech from its big brother, the Dorado, and features the well received DH Dual Chamber Air cartridge and the HBO feature on the compression side of things. With Manitou's somewhat shaky history and relatively recent success with the re-release of the Dorado DH fork, we really had no idea where the Mattoc would stack up...

Overall Review
Review by Sean “Griz” McClendon // Photos by Brandon Turman Manitou has been in the mountain bike suspension game for over 20-years. During the last decade, Hayes Bicycle Group (now Hayes Components) acquired Manitou, and in 2010, under new ownership, Manitou launched a completely redesigned version of the Dorado. Boasting larger stanchions, an improved chassis, new internals, and a new air system, the latest design has improved across the board. When first reintroduced, the 2010 Dorado was only available in the uber expensive carbon variety. Later in the year they released an aluminum Dorado...
