Do you remember in grade 1 when the Circus came to town and you attended it as a field trip? There was always some excitement until the clowns came up into the audience and you freaked out.

Well get your freak on kids, because here comes the Circus!

Back in February of this year you may have caught our preview of the Manitou Dorado that we have had on test since that time. It's been a long time since we've caused such a stir on the website. With about 200 comments and too many reads to count, it easily garnered the most attention of any of the products to hit the front page in recent memory. But I guess that was sort of expected. I can't remember a single new product causing quite the crap storm of interest, but with carbon legs and a massive price tag it was bound to do that. And let's not forget that it is from Manitou, a name that many once swore by but that had fallen by the way side in more recent times. There are a few good questions to answer, mainly is the new Dorado really that good?

Read on to find out what we think about the latest wonder fork from Manitou.

Pinkbike, the Dorado Pro is here… The attached pics are from Eurobike and a decal is missing from the upper part of the leg between the clamps. We’ll have the final decals dialed for Vegas.

Aluminum legged, same internals, 6.55lbs and comes in both 26 and 29er versions. Let me help you back into your chair. We’ve partnered with a few 29er frame makers and you’ll see them at ODD. I’m sure the PB faithful are going to freak on the 29er version, let the fur fly!

Manitou re-introduced the Carbon Dorado this past year and everyone was stoked to see it back in action. The down side is that is was less attainable to the average downhill consumer due to its price tag. The good news is that Manitou has created the all new Aluminium Upper MY 11 Dorado and it's got all the bells and whistles you'll find in its Carbon sibling, and at a price that is inline with the market.

You asked for it, you got it… Arguably the only downside the upside down fork was the price tag. At $2775 MSRP the Carbon Dorado was a little outside of most people's price range, however, Manitou has come up with an "Answer" for all of you. MY11, or better known as the Aluminum Legged Dorado, is the next step for Manitou Racing Development (MRD), and it's a big one.

You know its serious when the delivery truck has a police escort and the signing for the package includes a retina scan! Ok, that didn't happen and we're not that important, but maybe the brand new Manitou Dorado is? The full review is a ways off, but I could not resist giving you guys a look at what's coming up.

Big news, if not exactly new news, is that Manitou has been working hard on a new DH fork. The rumor mill has been pumping out some gems and the forums have been living up to expectations: full of gossip and innuendo. Full stop to that nonsense. We cornered one of the men responsible for the new super fork and have the answers to all your questions.

After four years of absence let me present the 2009 Dorado!

HB Suspension Products, makers of the Manitou line of high-performance MTB suspension forks and shocks, is pleased to announce Trident Performance Sports Products as its exclusive distributor in Canada. The change, coming after ten years of cooperation with Canadian distributor Outdoor Gear (OGC), is effective as of today, 3/01/2007.

Next to purchasing an entirely new bike, bolting on some new suspension has got to be the biggest change you can make to your regular routine. And when you think about it there actually is not that many choices when deciding on a new long travel super fork. Unless you get off the beaten path, you really only have four or five names to choose from. Each of these forks brings something a little different to the table. The key is to do your homework before buying. When I was trying to pick a new fork for my own bike I had a hard time finding any sort of info on [L=http://www.answerproducts.com]Manitou’s Travis[/L]. Since I like a bit of mystery I thought I’d give one a go and let everyone know how it performs.

Hayes Bicycle Group announced today that it will retain all Answer™ and Manitou™ brand product distributors for 2007. Service and support for these products will continue to be provided by these experienced and dedicated people.
