Ultimate FatBike Fork? The Manitou Mastodon Pro

[@ixcel83]

I have this fork on my fat bike. I have the pro standard model. My fat bike is a all year bike. This fork is incredibly stiff and very adjustable. It is a great fork. if you're thinking about adding this fork to your fat bike do it, it will change your fat biking for the better.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Yes this totally changes the Fatbike!

[@r3dgt1]

So on mountain trails, with this fork you wouldnt feel the shocks in your hands/palms or arms?

[@ixcel83]

It is just as effective as any other high-end mountain bike fork. I am younger myself but I am impressed at the people who ride rigid fat bikes over rough terrain I myself enjoy the extra comfort of the mastadon.

[@r3dgt1]

@@ixcel83 I have a rigid myself as well..just went on an intense mtb ride Sunday and I was worn out after riding 6 hours. My palms and hands were killing me..after seeing this video im definitely upgrading from rigid to this suspension.

Can anyone tell me if this will work on my Aventon adventure with brakes etc? I’m a nearly 300 lb rider and I’m looking for a very stiff ride.

[@GrahamFootBicycleLover]

Um, quite a lot of things wrong in this video. Air valve is NOT at the top, that's the volume spacer not the air valve. the air valve is at the bottom of the fork under the black cap. The fork lowers are the same for EXT and STD versions, it's the stations that a longer for the EXT version. Also the travel is adjusted internally, not by air pressure. Sorry to be negative but if you are going to make these videos you need to make sure you know what's what.

tru dat

[@stelu68]

where can i buy a fork like this

[@kennethtumohe6678]

Wow nice I own a 2017 Norco BigFoot Fatbike running 26 x 4.8 tyre’s in Australia , also changed by original 27 teeth chain ring to 34 teeth all in all gr8 fun seems to be very hard to find a retailer here and also the covid 19 travel issue if u do know a dealer here much appreciated safe riding gr8 vid

[@sansakritt5505]

I have 27.5/4.5 front tire will it fitt ?

[@brutallyaverage8293]

Yes but need ext version

[@MartinSTI02]

Everybody: Let put red color on rebound and blue on compression. Manitou: Switcheroooooo!!!

[@scottlennan225]

How can I install this tapered steer tube on my straight steer head tube?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

No

[@codyphillips48]

They sell a 1 1/8 upper assembly. It's optional. The part numbers is 141-34087-K004 it's in the service manual

[@supermallonz]

nice review, you remeber how long is the uncut top steerer tube?

[@michaelcarter4501]

not long enough for those who stand up alot and want to get the bars up.

[@billhackley3540]

surly claims this will work on the 2019 ict.. i'll have to slide the fork out and see if it's tapered. thanks for the vid.

[@MrLarry-gr8]

Sometimes i wish i was born into money so things like this would be no big deal.

[@gumarososam238]

I like the video, how can I get a fork like this ????

[@hoptard]

uhhhh, go shopping online....

[@Dime_kigua]

I bought the rst renagade with 120 mm travel por my fatboy, it's OK but it will be better with a remote lockout.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Okay

[@MrLarry-gr8]

My gawd! I just looked up the pricing and i just died.

[@tinker6435]

Is that lighter than a rigid fork?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

No

[@martybee6648]

The comp is $300 cheaper - what’s the biggest difference?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Big change in the damper, and the Pro has a more active air spring.

[@hoptard]

The comp is also heavier

[@josephdg1429]

What's the cost and where can we buy

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Updated with a link in the description

[@xavierrosales9342]

My Dream Fork 😭😢

[@josephdg1429]

Also do you know if comes in a drop out axle

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Thru Axle only.

[@redcloudmc]

I'd take the Wren Sports over that ;)

[@randyarcher1206]

How does this compare to the Wren ??? Looking to upgrade my Salsa Beargrease Fatty.....

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

No Experience with the Wren, but this one is quite nice!

[@peterm3159]

Wren and bluto doesn't compare to this beast. Trust that.

[@UncleFjester]

If only it wasnt a thru axle

[@mjsmjs7905]

Pretty sure you need a tapered head tube as well, I think the bottom of the steerer tube on those is 1.5 in opposed to 1 and 1/8

[@alexmorgan3435]

The cameraman should be sacked. Truly awful filming. So many shots massively out of focus. Dreadful.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Cool story bro

[@HUKIT.]

Says the guy who doesn’t create any content but judges someone who does. Go do it better if you’re so inclined…

[@alexmorgan3435]

@@HUKIT. Still a poorly filmed out of focus video whether I make my own or not.
