Manitou Mezzer Expert Fork Suspension Forks

Since their first mountain bike suspension fork in 1989, Manitou has continued to pursue the “science of smooth” with decades of extensive R&D and testing at national and global Pro MTB levels and their development of countless notable products over those years has resulted in Manitou earning a reputation for having some of the most reliable suspension products on the market.

Featuring 37mm stanchions and Manitou’s Reverse Arch design, the Mezzer Expert is 2nd the stiffest Enduro fork on the market and also the 2nd lightest at just 2.03kg. 2nd of course to the Mezzer Pro!

The Mezzer Expert features adjustable travel from 14-180mm, easy to use VTT-6P “Variable Terrain Tune 6 position” damper with externally adjustable compression and rebound damping, Hexlock SL2 axle for increased stiffness, Manitou’s IVA integrated air spring volume adjustment, TSR valves on the lowers so you can relieve air pressure build-up, and an integrated fender.

The distinctive reverse bridge design of the Manitou lower legs is said to increase the stiffness, lower weight, shield your seals from debris and provide protected hydraulic hose routing without affecting frame clearance and tyre clearance.

Who this for? Enduro, All-Mountain and trail riders looking for a super stiff, lightweight, adjustable and stylish fork that gives them flexibility without complexity.
