| FavoriteTrail: | anything with concrete |
| Duration Product Used: | 3 months |
| Price Paid: | $300 |
| Purchased At: | local shop |
| Strengths: | solid, great looking, and reliable |
| Weaknesses: | after riding dusty trails, the tocuh gets a little weird |
| Similar Products Tried: | rock shox pike sl |
| Bike Setup: | local fabrication street frame, and other cheap parts, not worth mentioning |
| Bottom Line: | the forks it's just what you need for dj/street/park riding,and it's a lot better than other forks, like argyles. Also the price ain't too high. Once you see your bike with that gorgeous reversed arch once, you just gotta love manitous, specially this one. good lucking, and just right for the intended use |
