Скачать или смотреть Manitou Circus Expert DJ Fork - 4 Month Review // Commencal Absolut

One of the reasons I never bought a Manitou Circus fork was because I didn't know if I could do foot-jams with the reverse arch. It turns out you can! The balance point is different and feels closer to a BMX bike. In this video I do a little riding and give my thoughts on Manitou Circus Expert.

Here is a break down of the Forks I have looked at over the years and their specs
