Manitou 32mm Suspension Overview

The 32mm range of forks from Manitou is characterized by two very versatile offerings, R7 and Machete. Both are 32mm XC forks with multiple wheel sizes and offsets with stiffness for multiple riding disciplines.

As coherent and performance oriented on the XC course as on the trail…racing, down country or on the hunt for adventurous exploration either of these two forks fit the bill for an amazing upgrade. The Machete is purpose-built for slicing trails, with Kwik Toggle compression damping inspired by our renowned Absolute+ technology. Kwik Toggle acheives on/off lockout simplicity in a lightweight, practical package. The R7 has a vast history of combining a lightweight chassis with performance and reliability. And this latest incarnation of the icon is no different. The new R7 expert pairs superior damping thanks to our 3 position dual piston VTT damper with a lightweight and stiff 32mm chassis.
