Manitou Circus Pro Gen 3 Dirt Jump & Pump Track Suspension Fork with Adjustable Travel

The Manitou Circus Pro - Gen 3 fork redefines performance for dirt jump and pump track enthusiasts, blending innovation with a proven legacy. Originally crafted to elevate slope-style riders into competitive realms, this fork has become a global benchmark, trusted by riders at every level for its precise control and reliability. With a remarkable 176g weight reduction from its predecessor, it offers a lighter, more responsive ride without sacrificing strength or durability.

Featuring the advanced Dorado^TM air spring system, the Circus Pro allows seamless internal travel adjustments ranging from 80mm to 140mm, all within a single chassis. This design ensures consistent initial stroke feel regardless of travel length, while the unique balancing valve maintains a smooth and predictable spring rate, eliminating dead spots. The Incremental Volume Adjust (IVA) further personalizes the ride, enabling fine-tuning of air chamber volume to match rider weight and style effortlessly.

Performance is enhanced by the ABS+ Jumpstack damper, which delivers an adjustable low-speed compression for firm support on jump takeoffs, combined with a blowoff feature to soften landings. The half cartridge damper boosts efficiency with lighter weight and superior in-leg damping. Stiffness is maximized through a Boost hub-compatible wheel and a hollow forged aluminum crown, offering unparalleled torsional rigidity for precise steering and control. Additional refinements include a lower profile 160mm PM brake mount and a 5mm reduction in axle-to-crown height, optimizing handling across the entire travel range.
