probably no one, Manipoop forks are garbage.
I don't think this fork is going to last to long especially with that price tag. I wouldn't buy it if it was $800 knowing their track record.

That is ludicrious. The Fox 40 RC2 is already a lot for $1600, but hell I have to say it's worth every penny.
I might ride that Manipoo if they a) gave it to me b) gave me spare forks c) gave me spare parts d) gave me a little gnome mechanic to follow me around everywhere, each and every run just to fix the f'king thing

That is crazy. It is more than almost every frame out there. Probably same crappy fork with a new shiny wrapper.

That sucks. Hope everything gets better soon. At least you will be able to go the the Domincan Republic and ride your new dirt bike and bang some local chicks. I could definetly use a vacation I would definetly head down there.

i bet none of you have ever riden a manitou fork...pre spv....their older dorados were great and my Swinger is a great shock too, even though its a spv design
maybe you all should try riding one first before "going with the norm" and bashing their stuff

the original dorado was the only good thing besides the x vert to come out of that company. but I can give countless examples of how their shit came into the store consistently blown up and when it arrived back it would still be all messed up
