I hear the Manitou is a bit "springier" in rebound feel. Any truth to this? I know the Progressive is made in the USA and the Manitou is made overseas. Reason why I ask is I have the opportunity to ride either shock, not sure which to use. Is one lighter too?

Thanks guys

progressives are assembled in the USA, I'm not too sure where the machining is done.

I've been able to dial my progressive to feel pretty lively, although there are so many adjustments it's hard to tell what I did to make it feel that way. With the rebound at full fast I can still pick the rear wheel off the ground before the shock tops out though. maybe I got used to the slow feeling and backing off the rebound damping made it feel livelier but a swinger would feel even more so.
