Manitou Dorado fork repair

Australian Downhill Champion Chris Kovarick rode these inverted triple clamp forks into the history books in 2002. Riding for the Intense factory team, these were revolutionary in both design and performance. Super smooth and lightweight compared to their alloy counterparts.

A local downhiller (now a family man) has managed to save these from back in the day and I have managed to repair the snapped tube. He’s stoked he never threw them away and now his Intense M1 is restored to its former glory.

Carefully laying in unidirectional carbon fibre initially, then wrapping 5 layers of carbon fibre tightly around the broken section with epoxy resin, it’s very strong. We will go for a few test rides to make sure they get put through their paces. A beautiful looking fork saved from the rubbish bin!
