The 2009 Dorado was a brand new design with bigger stanchions and a new open-bath TPC+ damper design with externally adjustable HSC and LSC along with rebound. Hydraulic Bottom Out was added internally and travel could be set internally between 180 and 200 mm. A completely new air-spring was developed, "Dorado Air", with positive and negative chambers self balancing when the pump is connected. Weight was greatly reduced and stiffness greatly increased.
In 2010 the Dorado was released with aluminium upper tubes offering Pro and Expert levels.
