Manitou Mattoc Pro 29 Mountain Bike Suspension Fork with IRT Technology

The Manitou Mattoc Pro 29 is a benchmark in suspension fork technology, meticulously engineered to deliver exceptional performance across multiple mountain biking disciplines. This fork embodies years of innovation, focusing on precision, reliability, and rider-centric design rather than fleeting trends. Whether you're tackling cross-country trails or venturing into light enduro terrain, the Mattoc Pro 29 offers unparalleled versatility and responsiveness, making every ride smoother and more controlled.

Weighing in at approximately 1750 grams, this fork is remarkably lightweight without sacrificing strength or durability. Its industry-leading stiffness ensures superior handling and stability, allowing riders to push boundaries with confidence. The Dorado Air spring with Infinite Rate Tune (IRT) technology provides a finely tuned suspension experience, offering enhanced sensitivity to small bumps and robust support through the stroke's mid and end phases. Combined with advanced damping features like the MC2 Sealed Cartridge and sealed TPC rebound damper, the Mattoc Pro 29 guarantees a smooth, consistent ride in diverse conditions.

Designed with adjustability in mind, the fork allows riders to customize air pressure, IRT settings, rebound, and both high- and low-speed compression. This level of control makes it one of the most tunable suspension forks on the market, catering to a wide range of rider preferences and trail demands. Its durable 7000 series butted wall aluminum legs and forged hollow bore crown ensure longevity and resilience, while compatibility with e-bikes and optional accessories like the Fender Kit and Hexlock SL2 make it an adaptable choice for many riders.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Infinite Rate Tune (IRT) improve suspension performance?
The IRT technology allows independent adjustment of air pressures at the beginning and end of the fork’s stroke. This creates a secondary positive air spring that enhances mid to end stroke support while maintaining excellent sensitivity to small bumps, providing a smooth yet responsive ride.

Is the Manitou Mattoc Pro 29 compatible with e-bikes?
Yes, this fork is fully compatible with e-bikes, making it a versatile choice for riders who want high-performance suspension on electric mountain bikes.

What kind of maintenance does the sealed damper system require?
The sealed damper uses a bladder system to maintain consistent damping and reduce breakaway force. While it is designed for longevity and minimal maintenance, regular servicing according to Manitou's recommendations will ensure optimal performance over time.

Can I adjust the travel length of the fork?
Yes, the Dorado Air spring system allows for internal travel adjustments without additional parts. New travel spacers maintain consistent initial stroke feel across different travel settings, offering flexibility for various trail demands.
