Get a test ride organised and make your own mind up, DT have loads of demo F535’s out there in dealers, see if you can get set-up and take one out for the weekend.

Longshot thread resurrection!

OT pike ultimate rc2 here 4 rides in after injury so getting back up to speed, impressive and just tweaking compression a click either way as I get faster.
Will be going into damper to refinish & tune in future as necessary

Currently running Mattoc Pro’s with the IRT and they’re pretty damn good, especially for the cash.

Agreed. The damper is nice, you can really lean on it. Adjustments are more fine than RS and Fox, you can’t do silly things with it! The air chamber is small by default, so little psi changes make a big difference. On the downside the non boost ones are too flexy!

The new Mezzer is shaping up to be the best fork Manitou have made thus far.
