I'm also moving to Manitou now, the reason........  $$$$ you can buy them online for much cheaper than the rest.  If ur willing to buy at the LBS ull end up paying 5k for a Reba...and im not sure how many gazzilions for a FOX.

I have the Manitou R7 MRD Absolute fork which is about 1.26 kg. My weight is 82kg. Its the best fork I have ever had. The Lockout has +- 6 clicks that makes it stiffer, as you turn it. My only problem is that the front wheel tends to lift up when doing steep hills, as the fork is incredibly light.. As long as you get the pressure right for your weight, i will recommend it to anybody. Have had it for 18 months, with nou problems. Had it recently serviced and will not change to anything else. My previous Sid spend more time in the workshop, than on my bike.
