Broken, just like they were back in the day. That's a bike that still looks sexy AF to this day but even as a mechanic I would never want to own one.

@kenneth-hp: and the cherry on top is that adjusting the travel is super easy to do!

First Ride: Manitou's New R8 XC Fork
@kenneth-hp: I run the LSC fully closed and don't notice the fork at all while pedaling in the saddle. Out of the saddle it "blows off" so yes it moves a little but still stays super high in the travel and doesn't effect geo or make the bike wander. Ultimately I went with the Mattoc so that I'm future proofed since it's adjustable up to 150 and an Epic Evo might be my next frame which calls for a 130 so there's that to consider.
