Lighter, stiffer, and more tunable than its competitors, the Mattoc Expert is the desired componentry for all bikes, improving the riding experience in a meaningful way. This lightweight and efficient fork features industry leading stiffness that ensures precise and reactive handling, ready to outperform any other product it is compared to. The Manitou Expert boasts an Expert Air spring with IVA, compression damping via the VTT-6P system and rebound damping via an open cartridge with adjustable TPC. True to Manitou’s industry leading tuning capabilities, the Expert allows adjustments via Air, Air Volume, Rebound, and 3-position Compression (Open, Trail, Lock) With Open Mode Low Speed Compression Adjustment. Perhaps the most versatile fork available not only in terms of travel but also application and customization of performance. Such amazing performance, tailor tuned to your needs, arises from Manitou’s never-ending search for a smoother and better, best ride.
Expert air allows for internal travel adjustments with no added parts. New travel spacers account for negative air volume change, so the 110mm fork has the same initial stroke feel as the 150mm
Expert Air spring systems contain a unique balancing valve that equalizes the positive and negative air chambers during the air fill process. This gives the spring rate a consistent feel without any flat or dead spots in the stroke, along with giving riders of different weights the same initial stroke feel. Expert Air has identical performance to Dorado Air in a more cost-effective package
Incremental Volume Adjust (IVA) modifies the volume in the positive air chamber with self-contained spacers dictating the position of the IVA piston. This allows the main air spring ramp-up to be tuned to the rider weight, style, and conditions without the need for additional parts
A single external compression adjuster that simultaneously adjusts High and Low speed damping characteristics. It features a fixed shim stack and a secondary shim stack that is preloaded by the external adjuster. The resulting wide tuning range combines the benefits of a Low-speed platform and High-speed progressive tune can suite any terrain
Trail Side Relief casting bleed screws allow users to release casting pressure from the fork. Casting pressure increase is normal, and extreme riding can increase the pressure at a fast rate. Temperature and elevation changes can also cause increased casting pressure. Releasing casting pressure can improve overall fork feel and small bump compliance

Everything was great. Was waiting for the SL9 to release since the first leak. Going from a SL7 was night and day.
Also Sierra Bicycle Supply, was amazing. Will be shopping here plenty more. The service they displayed was top tier, from the order placing online all the way to the delivery.

Exceptional Wheels
The CLX III are exceptional I was a little apprehensive about buying them having ridden the Enve 4.5 but you feel less crosswinds and their lighter and spin fast. The spokes seemed to offer a lot of dampening vibration. Win win in my book.

After many years I wore out my derailleur gears. Since I ride on my wind trainer daily, I needed to get up and riding again. Riding us part of my cancer therapy. Replacing the gears was a quick and easy way to fix the problem. Cost was fine and the delivery was fast. Thank you.
Got this for my kids bike. He does XC racing. Has been riding in dry lose dirt, wet conditions. Lots of climbing and some downhill. He loves them. Shipped fast and in sexure packaging. I would definitely buy again.
Heard a lot of good things about this tires put them on my commuter. The roll much faster than the schwable energizers on it. Puncture protection only time will tell.
