Manitou re-introduced the Carbon Dorado this past year and everyone was stoked to see it back in action. The down side is that is was less attainable to the average downhill consumer due to its price tag. The good news is that Manitou has created the all new Aluminium Upper MY 11 Dorado and it's got all the bells and whistles you'll find in its Carbon sibling, and at a price that is inline with the marketThe two biggest differences are the move away from Carbon Fiber legs to aluminum, which lets Manitou drop the MSRP from $2,750 down to a more DH consumer friendly $1,759. The internals remain unchanged, so there’s nothing new or unproven to mess with the fork’s well-received performance. The current carbon model weighs in at 2,812g and the new aluminum model will weigh 2,971 despite having slimmer legs and lighter, hollow aluminum crowns. Some of the new tricks learned in the development of the aluminum legs will trickle up to a new carbon-legged version for the trustafarians, making it even lighter
