manitou circus expert

jfry94

i currently own a 2007 model carrera kraken which i adore and i try to ride everything on and im looking to upgrade to the forks to some manitou circus experts which are just on the edge of my budget. just need to know whether they'd be good for riding pretty much everything. or has anyone else got any ideas of good forks for about £270.

dont bother they are the wrong fork for that bike.

• Damping: Jumpstack (Absolute+ tuned for dirt jump)

a more suitable fork

The Circus is a dirt-jump fork. That means a different damper to what most people would prefer in a 'normal' trail fork. The Manitou Drake or Minute would be better. Otherwise the standard recommendations are Rockshox Tora/Recon/Reba (in order of price).

Edit: too slow

thanks guys for the information my thinking on that fork was that if it can survive being used as a dirt jumping fork it should be able to easily survive everything i can throw at it in the form of some trail use some jumps and a bit of everything else
thanks
