Manitou Mezzer Expert 27. 5" Fork What the Fork is Up?Thirty-seven-millimeter stanchions made from 7000-series aluminum set the tone for what this fork is about. The Mezzer Expert shares its chassis with the Mezzer Pro, which means you get the same Reverse-Arch lower leg geometry and Hexlock SL2 axle system in a package that weighs in at just over 2 kg. That is serious for a max-travel enduro fork. The VTT-6P damper gives you six distinct compression positions so you can shift between open and platform feel without pulling out a tool. Internally adjustable travel from 140mm to 180mm means one fork works across multiple builds or evolves as your riding changes. If you later want more tunability, the IRT air chamber and MC2 damper are available as factory upgrades you can install at home. Aluminum stanchions with reverse-arch lower legs combine with the Hexlock SL2 axle to lock out flex at the source, giving you precise steering input when the trail gets rough VTT-6P damper offers six externally adjustable compression positions plus external rebound so you can tune your feel trailside without tools IVA (Incremental Volume Adjuster) air spring lets you rearrange self-contained volume spacers inside the positive air chamber to dial in progression, and the self-equalizing negative spring keeps initial sensitivity consistent140-180mm Internally adjustable travel steps down in 10mm increments with included spacers so you can match the fork's travel to your bike's intended geometry without a trip to the shop Trail Side Relief (TSR) ports let you bleed built-up pressure from the lower legs between service intervals, keeping breakaway force low and small-bump feel intact mid-ride Integrated flexible fender mounts directly to the arch with three screws and removes just as fast, so you run it when conditions call for it and leave it off when they don't SPECIFICATIONSSteerer Type Tapered Lockout Switch Crown Brake Type Post Mount 180Negative Spring Air Travel (mm)170 or 180Offset44 or 37Axle to Crown Length564Front Axle15mm Thru x 110mm Maximum Tire Width74S.
