Not that long ago mountain bikes were simple. Suspension opened up more terrain and, more importantly, it meant more fun. The original Z2 was there for the mountain bike suspension revolution. You simply mounted it on your bike and hit the trails. Less time prepping and fixing meant you could just focus on the ride. Twenty years later, that same DNA lives on in the new Marzocchi Z2, and it's ready to shred, offering smooth and plush suspension. The new-from-the-ground-up Rail damper combines low maintenance with intuitive ease of use and impressive on-trail performance. The top-of-fork simple sweep adjuster from firm to open can lock out the fork or fully open the system with plenty of positions in between. The Z2—it just makes everything easy. - 34mm stanchions - Enhanced lower leg stiffness with "M" arch design for maximum tire clearance - 15 QRx110mm axle design - Air sprung - Rail damper - Rake: 44mm

THE HARD CHARGING DO IT ALL TRAIL FORK Smoother, lighter, more tunable, and more capable than ever before; when it comes to a do-it-all trail fork the 34 is in a class of its own. - LOWER LEG BYPASS CHANNELS As a fork compresses, the air volume within the lower legs decreases, increasing air pressure. The more the fork compresses, the more pressure increases. This effect can have the unintended consequence of preventing full travel from being achieved. Our lower leg channels help alleviate this issue by dramatically increasing air volume within the lower legs and thereby reducing the amount of additional unintended pressure ramping. - LOWER LEG ARCH Stiffness-to-weight is the ultimate metric for bicycle design. Engineers invest countless hours poring over every ounce of material in an effort to optimize this critical ratio. The all-new 34 pulls out all the stops, shaving every possible gram while making sure not to compromise the stiffness or strength requirements of modern trail riding. - GRIP2 Our GRIP2 damper is the benchmark for unparalleled ride quality and ultra-precise adjustability. GRIP2 includes our patented Variable Valve Control (VVC) technology which allows for external fine-tuning of suspension performance. GRIP2 achieves with the twist of a knob what typically requires the time consuming and complicated task of completely disassembling and reassembling the fork. -FLOAT EVOL Returning with the same legendary suppleness and longevity, the EVOL air spring in 34’s now has an enlarged negative air spring to assist with mid-stroke support. - Performance-Elite series with black anodized stanchions - Step Cast (SC) legs with narrow stance and stepped design to saves weight, decrease frontal area, and provide clearance for the spokes and brake rotor - FIT4 damper with 3-position damper control - 160mm to 203mm rotor compatible post mount - Lightweight Kabolt thru-axle - Tapered threadless steerer

The Mattoc is an amazing fork due to its versatility yet made even more amazing as its capability to do it all comes without compromise. The “versatile specificity” of this fork means that it adapts perfectly to many disciplines and styles of riding while performing flawlessly in each and every one. The Mattoc Comp’s 34mm Manitou-engineered chassis keeps weight to a minimum while maintaining best-in-class stiffness. Its Expert Air spring with IVA technology, ABS+ compression damping, and in leg adjustable TPC rebound damping make for the smoothest ride you’ve experienced yet. With air, air volume, rebound, and compression adjustments that smooth ride can be tailored to your specific needs. The next step to a better ride starts with Mattoc, #thepeoplesfork. Key Features: - 27.5” is 20g less than the previous model. - Expert air allows for internal travel adjustments with no added parts. - Expert Air spring systems contain a unique balancing valve that equalizes the positive and negative air chambers during the air fill process. This gives the spring rate a consistent feel without any flat or dead spots in the stroke, along with giving riders of different weights the same initial stroke feel. Expert Air has identical performance to Dorado Air in a more cost-effective package. - Incremental Volume Adjust (IVA) modifies the volume in the positive air chamber with self-contained spacers dictating the position of the IVA piston. This allows the main air spring ramp-up to be tuned to the rider weight, style and conditions without the need for additional parts. - Absolute Plus (ABS+) is a shim stack-based damper that features external incremental Low-Speed compression adjustment. - 27.5” 110-150mm, 29” 110-150mm. - TSR (Trail Side Relief) casting bleed screws allow users to release casting pressure from the fork. Casting pressure increases during normal riding. Extreme riding can increase the pressure at a quicker rate. Temperature and elevation changes can also cause increased casting pressure. Releasing casting pressure can improve overall fork feel and small bump compliance. - Expert air spring and lower weight brings top-level performance to a new price point.

The new Mattoc is the fruit of one of the most profound development cycles in Manitou history. It is the physical embodiment of “great things take time”. It is not an offering that follows the crowd, designed around the latest trend or buzz of the market. Rather, a component that aims to add real value and benefit to the rider. Capable of not only pulling duty in a range of disciplines ranging from XC to light enduro but doing so with zero compromise makes the Mattoc “best-in-class” ! The lightest, stiffest, and most tunable fork over more segments than any of its competitors, the Mattoc PRO is an amazingly versatile product capable of vastly improving your time in the saddle. At 1750 grams it is a featherweight solution given its wide travel range, yet its industry-leading stiffness lends it to a performance without rival. Consider also its amazing reliability and you have a fork that does it all and does it amazingly. A true, no-compromise, authentic fork, serving the real needs of the widest range of the mtb public and offering serious performance advantages to each individual one of them, no matter how they choose to ride. The Dorado Air spring with IRT allows for an extremely lightweight build yet a suspension performance derived from our top-of-the-line DH fork. Compression damping via MC2 Sealed Cartridge with HBO technology and a sealed damper TPC for rebound, and you’ve got yourself an extremely sophisticated piece of suspension technology. Adjustable Air, IRT, Rebound, High and Low-Speed compression make for perhaps the most tunable, personalized custom performance suspension solution available on the market. Include all of this technology into an extremely stiff, reliable, 1750 gram package and you have a ride-changing component that is the envy of the industry Key Features: - 59 grams decrease from the previous model. - Over 19% stiffness increase from the current 27.5” 160mm to the new 27.5” 150mm. 29” Stiffness increases are higher. - DoradoTM air allows for internal travel adjustments with no added parts. New travel spacers account for negative air volume change, so the 110mm fork has the same initial stroke feel as the 150mm. - Dorado Air spring systems contain a unique balancing valve that equalizes the positive and negative air chambers during the air fill process. This gives the spring rate a consistent feel without any flat or dead spots in the stroke, along with giving riders of different weights the same initial stroke feel. Dorado Air is our lightest-weight air spring technology. - Infinite Rate TuneTM (IRT) allows for advanced spring tuning by independently adjusting air pressures in the beginning and end stroke. IRT technology creates a secondary positive air spring that affects only the middle-to-end stroke of the fork. This allows the main air spring to be set to lower pressures for improved small bump sensitivity while maintaining mid-stroke support and moderate to aggressive end-stroke ramp-up. - Sealed Dampers offer more consistent damping and lighter breakaway force, especially over long descents. Our Damper uses a bladder system to compensate for head build-up along with a relief valve. Using both systems gives us consistency along with a long service life. Having non-adjustable HBO eases setup for the user. - TSR (Trail Side Relief) casting bleed screws allow users to release casting pressure from the fork. Releasing casting pressure can improve overall fork feel and small bump compliance.
