Manitou asked their team of engineers to take some of the work out of the ride and equip the ride for the good times.  They went to work and cut the weight out of the components and delivered plenty of squish for the ride down.  Less weight and a firm platform for the ride up, 180 mm of travel for the ride down.  Introducing the Enduro Collection from Hayes, Manitou & Sunringlé: the Mezzer fork, Mara shock, and Duroc Pro wheels.

JUNIT (J-Unit) has launched - a full line of kids' bike components from Hayes that gives the young riders the fit, performance, safety and comfort they need.

Shockcraft is now open for 2019 and we've been sending out all orders received over the holidays.  We'll also be working our way through the email queue, so thanks for your patience if you have contacted us while we've been closed.

If you've been riding hard over the holidays and your shock, forks or dropper post need some love, book them in for a Shockcraft service.

We've combined and condensed our suspension setup series into a simple (2 sided) A4 setup sheet. This works through in a simple sequence to give you a good starting setup with a few simple car-park tests.
