Posted this on Dropmachine.com first, figured I'd see your take on it.

Rumor has it that all Manitou's pros have been dropped except for Cam McCaul. No confirmation from Manitou, but they never return my emails anyways.

ooooooooh.

 

[seismic]

Well, then the riders may have a chance of getting a proper fork...

 

[hungryleprican]

what are they doing?

 

[tlproject7]

damn, thats manitou for ya

 

[spacemanspiff06]

Bearclaw's gone to fox

 

[S.K.C.]

What about Kovarik?

 

[davetrump]

What about Kovarik?

i was wondering that too...

maybe they are not droping teams, but rather riders who have individual sponsors (especially if their other sponsors conflict with manitou's new parent company Hayes, and everything else that Hayes now owns)

As I understand, it's just Cam, Intense/MS Racing, & Merida/Multivan.

[Mountain_Dewd]

This is a true statement

I'd say that was a lot of pros. Especially Merida.

 

[Metal Dude]

They don't pay me but I still get luv with Product!

 

[Pip3r]

[J_B]

Where'd Aaron Chase end up??

 

[Red Bull]

Where'd Aaron Chase end up??

yeah i dont really buy it.

 

[theg1ant]

No I heard something like this a few weeks ago. Something about them not having enough money to get all their pros the parts for free or something like that. I heard it was that everyone else dropped them but i may be wrong

 

[dhkid]

lets hope they finally get some good products out.....

 

[Tetreault]

well hopefully lots of these guys will go to fox and they will finally make a 20mm 32mm fork? im just hoping

 

[demo 9]

Now the pros can improve without being held back.

 

[dexter]

demo 9.... wow your a mega tard

 

[WhiteRavenKS]

"you're" dexter, it's a contraction.

 

[Transcend]

"you're" dexter, it's a contraction.

Oh, the irony.

 

[sayndesyn]

haha.. Good stuff.

"you're" dexter, it's a contraction.

Interesting...

Are Hayes still going to rename them HB Suspension? Or was that just some intraweb e-speculation?

That would be fvckin' awful. Change the name from something associated with crap to something associated with even more crap...if anything, Hayes needs to change their name outright and remake themselves. Or leave it all the same and pull themselves up by their collective bootstraps, but at this point, I don't see it happening.

They've got the money, they just need to find the right people to spend it.

 

[top_dog]

I saw Kovarik on Monday, and he definetly had Manitou front and rear.

 

[dhkid]

hopefully not for long...irate2:

 

[samich457]

Where'd Aaron Chase end up??

According to "The Cut" website under his bike build it says Fox

 

[seth505]

Now the pros can improve without being held back.

please explain how a gold label on a hardtail, a Minute or even a travis on a dh bike would hold you back? Essay format please...thanks in advance.

 

[tlproject7]

i dont think he was that serious. calm, sounds like seth here bought a travis
