Bei Action Sports ist die Mezzer, wie ich gesehen habe, schon zu bestellen, für knapp 880.
Bin mir nicht sicher, ob alle Varianten erhältlich sind.
Ich muss sagen, dass ich mit der DVO grad ziemlich zufrieden bin.
Bei Gelegenheit würde mich aber der ein oder andere, fundiertere Fahrbericht dazu interessieren.
User Bericht auf MTbr
o far so good, this fork is awesome. I can compare it to a good number of competitors, it's the best fork i have used on a mtb. I discarded
rockshox, fox36 fit4, i own a mattoc and a dvo diamond (i have 2 bikes).
So smooth, low speed sensitivity is a lot better than the mattoc, for big hits it has a similar feeling to the mattoc, family feeling is a good word to describe it.
To me it seems that it has a slighty lighter shim stack tune on
compression, i'm using a lot of LSC at the moment and still it isn't harsh.
HSC is set 1 from open.
With both LSC and HSC full closed the fork still moves relatively free, the mattoc was very slow in that condition. This sort of confirm that it has a lighter shim stack.
I'm using identical pressure to the mattoc, 60 psi main and 90 irt for my 80 kg. I actually found the Manitou suggested pressure to be too soft, they suggested 52/75 psi for 82 kg.
Saturday i will do 6000+ metres of descents in the rough, i did the same park with the mattoc 2 weeks ago, can't wait.

5400 metres actually, rain stopped me
I did a mix of flow with jumps and long, rocky descents at high speed, lots of square
edge hits.
I can pretty much confirm my first impressions:
- i find the pressure table not ideal, suggested pressures are way too low for me, i have found my ideal pressures 10psi higher for both main and IRT, 60/90 psi for my 80 kg.
- the fork is extremely comfortable on square edge hits, it filters out a lot but you can still feel what is happening under the wheel (5 lsc and 1 hsc from open), it's significantly better than the very good mattoc with high flow piston.
- large hits are managed very well, it seems more progressive than the mattoc, on the mattoc i had to run IRT 2x (or more) the main pressure if had to do jumps/drops, on the mezzer 1.5 is perfect.
- it doesn't flex at all, i tried a pike back to back on the same descent and the difference is huge, i recall the pike is similar to the mattoc.
- it rides higher than the mattoc, not as high as my DVO diamond on berms and braking but close. I didn't play much with compression knobs, i probably could make it even better with more compression.
I didn't try the fork with the original oil, i put supergliss 100k after the travel change.
I made this short, horrible video. Had a lot of vibration because of a shitty camera mount, hope you can see something useful
