Mezzer Pro

Brand: Manitou

A 37 mm-stanchion enduro fork launched in 2019 that marked Manitou's return to the spotlight: a mountain bike suspension pioneer in the 1990s that had since faded into the background, the American manufacturer (Hayes group) transposed into the Mezzer the Dorado air spring from its inverted downhill forks. Three-chamber Dorado Air spring with IRT (Infinite Rate Tune), sealed-bladder MC2 cartridge with high- and low-speed compression, the distinctive reverse arch and a Hexlock SL2 axle. Travel internally adjustable from 140 to 180 mm using 10 mm spacers, offsets of 37/44/51 mm depending on wheel size; the press hailed it as a direct rival to the Fox 36 and RockShox Lyrik.
