The new Dorado has some features in common with the last generation of Dorado: an inverted design, carbon legs, integrated stanchion protection and the absence of an arch to connect the two legs. The new fork, while similar to the naked eye is a departure in a few significant ways. To begin with it's sprung on air rather than coil - bringing the weight down to an impressive 2902 grams. Manitou has always been masterful at damping technology and this fork continues that tradition with TPC + compression damping, an open-bath, double tube rebound damper and hydraulic bottom-out and top-out circuits.
