Breaking in a New Manitou! Limited Edition Fork Put to the Test 

I can't even comprehend this level of casual skill but boy is it fun to watch

Pat made the Masterdon famous. The promo video from a few years ago you did for the Masterdon is my favorite fat bike video of all time. It made me go out and buy a new fat bike to upgrade from my old fat bike.

Wow, incredible fun, can imaging ! You are Crazy Good ! Thanks for showing, HOW.....

Rad suspension. Glad they held it back do I could see another video of the old rig 👌👌👌

No , it is an impossible thing to do for 98% of us at least .....lol

thanks for including the misses. i hate to admit it but it really makes me smile when you miss... reason being i am truley jelous of just how good you are at this. of course i dont actually want you to get hurt because then there would be NO hope for me... THANKS for the vid.

Great Fat bike in action..... im fatbike user here

Another bike wizard…you are not human….

Phenomenal! Love my mastodon pro

Great riding. Skinnies and logs seem easier on my fat bike so long as I have the PSI correct. But way less "english" needed to stay on center than my 29er trail bike.

Hey Pat Smage! Nice fork! What travel on that beast? Love the fat trials as always! Ride ride ride!

Miss my fatbike

Very sick.... I miss my trials days. 23 years later, 60 pounds heavier... n just old ...lol Question is... how wide to do run your bars. I'm use to the old dh bars... n now this 800mm wide thing has me second guessing my bar width... I'm 6ft

Cool

Where are you that it had snowed already

This fork is barely acceptable for winter IME. It sucks down over time and doesn't have an equalization port like Fox/RS forks, so it doesn't equalize at full extension. And because they sag under their weight when you hook up a pump and activate the equalization, you have to pull it apart or else it'll be sucked down just from filling it (or turn bike upside down and pull up). This is overall not a good system. The colder the weather, the poorer it performs and it's only rated down to something like 10-20F, which is ridiculous for a winter fork. Even more ridiculous is that it uses an air spring instead of coil, massive change during temps not to mention relying on air seals under these circumstances. The Bluto is even worse, but these forks have a long ways to go before they are decent for their intended purpose IME.

Did you ever try Wren forks dude? Lots of improvements since the early days, and they might send you out a pair if they tell them who you are, and Kevin Wren and his partner Russ seem like excellent blokes. I just got a set myself (second hand) and despite some issues with the rebound on mine, they're way better than my Mastodons, and I know saying that is going to make some people mental, lol. Love your vids mate, great ambassador for Fat bikes. 🤘🤘
