Manitou Splice Super 2005 Front Shocks
Product DescriptionThe all new for '05 Splice Super delivers value and performance at a great price. All the features you'd find on a top end fork are here, including a Rapid Travel Wind Down adjuster that lets you change the travel from 100-130mm, Fluid Flow damping, and a lockout knob so you can climb and sprint with power, even in "long-travel" mode.

from Jersey City Date Reviewed: August 26, 2010 Strengths: I own 3. The RTWD 100mm travel (in question) GARBAGE!!! but was on the bike bought and matched the Red, white, blue rig paint scheme... The 130FF Comp and Elites are both light and strong.. They seem to be built as if they were made by different manufacturers.. Mind you, the 100mm says Taiwan, The 130FF Elite and Comps say USA. Weaknesses: The RTWD 100mm travel version sucks.. This was equipped on a K2 Razorback Team issue I assume for the color (blue) and I took the bike on a test ride today, Lets just say that the fork seemed to only have 80mm of travel including the 12-18mm sag as on the manual and not the full 100mm. I didn't mind becuase it rode fairly but was way too springy feeling. Getting to the worst part was when I hit a nice log run and the fork did a poor job of absorbing the bumps even when the compression was adjusted which didn't seem to do much... anyway, when I came down off the end log, the rebound leg cap (it's plastic!?!?!) popped off and hit my helment aswell as the lower rebound knob had snapped clean off.. Luckily, I was able to thread the stupid cap on and rode (limped the bike) back to the parking lot where little to my dismay... All the rebound leg oil had leaked out and the rebound adjuster rod had actually snapped!!!! What a piece of garbage!!!! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Central Jersey Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $300.00 Purchased At: Locally Similar Products Used: Nothing this bad.. Even the old All grease 100mm X Vert of pre 2000 is more solid and burly than this!!! I still have one hanging. Bike Setup: K2 Razorback team 4" travel with upgraded Fox Air pull shock w/ lockout.. Full XT 9 speed drive including cranks.. Mavic Crossride bladed wheels. Magura HS33 Hydraulic V Brakes. This thing was 21 lbs!!!
