Are those mechs hydraulic or cable operated?
The new Flexarados must be the most pointless product in MTB history. I mean, who in their right mind is going to spend that much money on a fork? Think about it like this – if have the sort of job that gives you that kind of disposable income then you can’t possibly ride enough to warrant having them.
Pro-racers will get given them – fantastic, but doesn’t exactly make you any money. Serious amateurs or self financed racers won’t be able to afford them. Maybe a few bike shop employees will be able to afford them at trade.
With the new Boxxer looking like it’s another great fork, you gotta wonder what Manitou hope to gain.
Look out for the trickle down technology into a fork that’s not quite as good but costs 50% less
