There was no Travis last year 
People have just started getting them in the last week or so, I am sure there will be reviews shortly.

I have the 180mm SC Intrinsic. Not the Triple Ti but same damping. Feels very nice. I've been on an Avy DHf for the last 3 seasons and the Travis feels as plush as the Avy did, if not more so. Plus, since I have the SC I dropped over 2 lbs. from the front of my bike. So far I'm loving the feel of it, lifts aren't open yet so I've only done local shuttles but I'll rate it very high so far. First true DH day will really tell though.
Its really a great fork. Way better than the Dorado. I've ridden Fox 40s, 06 WCs, and the Travis. All of these forks are top notch and fairly equal. The advantage to the WC and 40 is that they aren't that tall for 8" forks. I ride a 180mm Travis Ti Intrinsic and don't really feel the need for 8" but would of course take it if the 8" Travis wasn't so tall.
As has been said the Travis Intrinisc is super plush. It has a wide adjustment range for rebound and isn't over damped like previous Manitous. The "compression"/bottom out knob only has 6 clicks and suprizingly enough you can tell the difference between each click. You can't really tell the difference "in the parking lot", but making back to back runs on the same trail you can tell the diff with one additional click.
If you push down really hard you can actually bottom it out, but while riding, even in the steepest and burliest stuff, I can rarely feel it bottom.
I've had mine since the first of the year and raced a snow/mud race, Bootleg in Feb. and now the last 3 weekends at Windrock and so far its needed no maintainence and still feels super plush.

what profo said
Anyone know if manitou is still doing the dorado trade in for a travis? They arent answering my emails.
We have one at the shop if you wanna see it chucklehead.
In response to Profro, there was a recent post compairing the heights and it didn't seem that the Travis was much taller than any other 8inch fork. I don't think its really much taller than the 8in Dorado was.
All in all I cant wait till I get mine.

thats all i have to say
it looks like a good fork. manitiou has had good dampers not spv but tpc+
the real deal with these and all manitiou stuff is will it stay smooth or get sticky after time.

Trade-in? What was the original policy?
bcd said:
? How did i get dragged into this hahha.
I have a pretty white one hanging in my garage. Unfortunately, I can't even do a parking lot test on it because I have no frame. It is very light though which is good because the nail it's hanging on is kinda weak.

when people are sponsored my a product and give a great review of it. They deserve a non bias opinion. thats all.
I have had various manituo forks and have NEVER been happy with them.
Is this fork any better? who know?
profro said:
LOL... Those few little snow flakes that fell on race day do NOT count as a "snow" race.
Nor does the little puddle at the bottom make it a Mud race.
