In my continuing search for straight steerer 29er forks, I stumbled across these:
chinese manitou a likes!
first thought was, what a pile of poo.
however, looking at them, and they do a more regular brace version too. The crown looks basic suntour, they have manitou internals (ISO air and Absolute+ damper)which are pretty decent IME.
Could they actually be OK? weight wise their on par with the Manitou Tower’s.
only possible problem is warranty of course and the assumption that bushes and seals are relatively standard affairs.
they’re not high end fox or RS, but for the price, could they be another xfusion?
