wow... i just wet myself...
that thing is so sick!!!
Are Dorado's actually available yet?
Maybe January 09! All are still in proto phase.
in my opinion, that ride is perfect.... except for the mallets. I had a bad experience with mallets last year and since then, I can't say I'm a fan of them.
But I AM still a fan of crankbros!

Those M6s are really going on me. I want to ride one.
I swapped bikes with a mate on an M6 for a few runs over summer here.
I couldn't wait to hand it back and he didn't want to.
His M6 is now up for sale.
Just sayin.

yeah really, he now saves money for 303:biggrin:
By the way, as i know that you ride a 303, does the rail need a lot of maintenance?
As this is the M6's thread, I'll keep it brief:
The rail system does require a little bit more maintenance than other bike's suspension systems. However, all it entails is squeezing a bit of grease into the ports, wiping them down and that's about it. Once in a while I take them apart to fully clean them down (also not difficult). I live in an area where I ride hard every day with numerous chairlifts and in such variable conditions. Good testing ground for the 303.
PM me if you want any further info.
For what it's worth, the M6 is one sexy bike. I sincerely hope Manitou have ironed out the wrinkles and have finally produced an awesome performing fork to match it's looks.
How is the headtube Damo?
Are you saying you preferred your 303 over his M6?
I lent my Balfa BB7 to a mate with an M3(same weight as me), and he said it was better than his(I think so)but it could all just be set up,wrong weight springs,damping etc etc.
I liked the M6, no doubts there, but yes, I prefered my bike.
I'm still not saying one is better than the other here, just that they are different (surprise).
I know the M6 is a hugely capable bike. I'd love to get some long term ride time on them, it is an awesome bike.
