Testbericht Manitou Sherman Breakout+

[ClemDMC]

Ich habs auch mit maximalem Volumen versucht, da war dann zum Schluss fast gar keine Progression, mit minimalem Volumen ist es a bissl besser gegangen. Wenn ich mehr als 60psi reingepumpt hab dann war das Ansprechverhalten sinnlos.
Und der Lack war bei den Evos von letztem Jahr wirklich miserabel.
Aber ich hab mich damit nicht mehr zu ärgern, dafür müsst es Giant amal in de Lackiererei.

@ Soundman wie bist du den an das TPC+ gekommen????

[Bergabradfahrer]

@Georg:könntest amal a Bild von deim Ghost reinstellen?bitte

[dolcho]

der unterschied luftkammer komplett draußen
/ komplett drin is sowieso a Witz.
Wenn dir dein Rahmen keine ghscheide Progression
bietet, der swinger bringt da auch fast nix.

machbar sollte a gscheid einstellbare progression
übern dämpfer schon sein, ktms pds dämpfer
lassen grüßen

mich würd interessieren, ob da andere Dämpfer
wie dhx, el jeffe, 5th mehr bieten

[klamsi]

aba da 5th element is doch eh baugleich miim swinger ned ?? hab da moi irgendwo kert das des patent von manitou kauft worden is und halt an andern namen hat insofern därferts da ja kane unterschieden geben oder ??

mfg

Ich mach dann später einen Testbericht. Muß nur vorher das Rückschlagventil der Sherman ausbauen und Fahren gehen.

[dolcho]

da 5th fühlt sich schon a bisserl anders an.
bin aber nur mal testweise gfahren.

Immerhin muß man Manitou zugute halten, dass sie aus den Fehlern gelernt haben.

DAMPING TYPES


INTRINSIC DAMPING
• Speed sensitive SPV-based damping system for long
travel forks and shocks
• Unparalleled sensitivity to small bumps with superior
bottoming resistance
• Externally adjustable compression and rebound
damping circuitry
• Cartridge damper provides better oil flow and
improved damping adjustment and control

SNAP VALVE SPV DAMPING
• High platform, low threshold damping system for R7
forks
• Specifically designed for high efficiency, low activity
during pedaling
• External, no tool, threshold and rebound adjustment
• SPV bottoming and stability attributes

PLATFORM PLUS DAMPING IN FORKS
• Low cost alternative to SPV damping
• Adjustable pedaling platform via shim stacks
• External platform and rebound adjust
• No pressure system

CARTRIDGE TPC PLUS DAMPING
• Speed sensitive cartridge damping system for long
travel forks
• Low initial compression damping for bump sensitivity
• Increase damping mid-stroke to finish for bottoming
resistance
