I remember early 2000’s I had a Manitou Sherman, 32mm with 20mm hexlock, TPC+, reverse arch, 170mm travel. Sounds pretty much same spec as this fork with more travel. At the time it came out it was considered a tank of a single crown fork (20 years ago), hence the name… I replaced the Sherman with a Fox 34 in 2012 and remember being amazed by the improved stiffness and tracking of the 34, but was at the same time disappointed with the downgrade in dampening, that TPC+ was butter!
