Manitou McLeod
The McLeod was a new shock for 2015 based on a completely new concept. It is simple, lightweight and offers rebound adjustment alongside a compression adjustment that also increases pedalling platform. The McLeod was available in imperial sizes and metric eyelet sizes. Trunnion versions are not available at this time. They feature an air-spring with captive negative air and a damper that can be rebuilt at home.
The McLeod was named after a favourite trail building tool: the McLeod Fire Rake. It's unique shape is featured on the graphic.
