I really miss this fork - Manitou Magnum

[Old School MTN BKR]

For me, it was the best looking fork of the mid 90´s:

Doesn´t even have preload adjusters, but who cares with a machined brace like this???

Who knows about this fork? Easy to service? Can I find spare parts?

I have one on my Bontrager.

Was this a 95 model?

Nice forks, had them on my black clockwork - IMO better looking than the 2/3/4 as well, must be that CNC arch

I bought mine in 1995. Was traded later for a Judy.

Yep, the Magnum and the Comp has extra machining in the arch. The 3/4 and EFC have a beefier arch.

For some reason I can't remember much about them from way back when. Can remember the Comp but not the Magnum. Where did it fit into the range?

The 1994/1995 line up was: Comp / Magnum / 4 / EFC

Where can I see pics of your Bontrager?
