Jack Dropper Post

Manitou’s solution for a premium dropper post goes by the name of Jack and itt excels not only due to its performance, amongst the smoothest and lightest action in the market, but also due to its reliability and ease of ownership.

While perhaps overlooked by many in favor of forks and shocks, the dropper post is every bit as important as the rest of the suspension ecosystem nowadays and for the symphony to sound harmonious, all components must perform at an equal level of quality, reliability and serviceability. The Manitou Jack dropper post was designed and built in such a way that it represents the exact same quality, consistent performance, versatility and user serviceability as found on the brand’s premium fork and shock offerings. While it might be anodized black, it has come to represent a sort of gold standard for 360 degree positive ownership experience… from amazing performance to its simple operation and maintenance.

“All dropper posts are not created equally… The Manitou version might be called Jack but it represents the Ace of the dropper posts available today.“

If you in search of a serious dropper post, look no further... performance, reliability and ease of ownership make the Jack an overall postivie addition no matter how you rate your components.

Wide range

The Manitou Jack dropper post is available in three drop options – 185mm, 160mm, and 80mm. Available in 30.9 and 31.6mm diameters

Self-Bleeding Design

One of the standout features of the Jack is its self-bleeding design, which allows the rider to purge any air that may have gotten into the hydraulic oil, without needing to perform a full service or even remove the post from the bike. To reset the post only an Allen wrench is required. Simply turn the reset valve about a quarter of a rotation with the post extended, then lower the post while holding the valve open; when you let go of the Allen key, the valve will close on its own.

User Serviceable - No mechanic necessary

The Jack is more readily user-serviceable than most dropper posts as the hydraulic inner workings don’t need to be bled as part of the service procedure. Parts and instructions are nevertheless available. A relatively basic service of the bushing and guide keys is recommended every 100 hours of ride time and can be done at home without the need of digging into the hydraulic portion of the post.
