Featured Review High Performance, High Value (product review)

The Good:

Surprisingly stiff chassis.
Great feeling air spring.
Low weight.
User serviceable and tuneable.

The Bad:

Tooled through axle.
Reverse arch may present issues with mud and hose routing.
Proprietary tools.

Overall Review: The Mattoc easily stands up to its competition in the form of the Rockshox Pike and Fox 34 in a more tuneable and cheaper package.  As a lighter rider (65Kg) I have long felt that the market leading forks from the big brands are overdamped. Those forks have to please a wide range of rider...
