H YEAH! Hayes Components is flying under a single, unified presence. And that’s good news for anyone serious about performance.
The exclamations begin with the Manitou line and the dramatic success of Mattoc. Not to mention the recent introduction of the Magnum, standard equipment on new Plus models from some of the largest, most innovative, bike manufacturers on the planet. Yep, we’re jumping into this exciting new category with two, well-cushioned legs. In fact, we’re helping to define it by pioneering its suspension systems. Oh, and there are collections to talk about. Red Mist, Plus, Downhill, Dirt Jump, and Fatbike each represent a killer combination of looks and talent. No matter what your riding style, we’ve got something to improve it. Hayes 2015. Lots to shout about!
M IS FOR MOMENTUM. For the last few years, Manitou has been on a steady roll. In 2015, the pace quickens. Mattoc continues to be among the most praised and purchased hi-end fork options available. With its revolutionary HBO (Hydraulic Bottom Out) option and simple adjustability, it’s easy to see why. And with the release of the Magnum, we make our way into the Plus category with a new fork tuned to maximize the rolling inertia of the larger footprint. A fancy way of saying we’re making bigger smoother. But the train ain’t stopping there. Stay tuned for even more big Manitou doings.
MAG NU M MAKING BIGGER BETTER. The Plus size category is brand new. And we’ve already improved it. That’s because our Magnum fork is standard equipment on debut Plus rides from some of the world’s most accomplished manufacturers. The Magnum is specifically tuned to maximize the rolling inertia of the larger tire patch. Translated, it means Magnum will make your Plus riding experience smooth and predictable. Pioneering a dynamic front suspension in this category is just one more, big fat example of our commitment to excellence. PHOTOS: MARGUS RIGA RIDER: GEOFF GULEVICH

UNCOORDINATED IS NO WAY TO RIDE. When it all comes together, the riding is as good as it gets. And that’s what the Red Mist enduro collection offers. Start with the red matte, industry-leading Mattoc. It quietly gobbles edges, bumps and drops like no other fork. The Answer AME stem boasts an industry first - a fully 3D forged body shorter than 40mm. The lightweight stem cradles Protaper SL bars. And the package is completed by Rove R2 pedals, Stein grips and thick, knuckle-slitted enduro gloves with technology-ready fingertips. Hey, maybe you can’t ride like Aaron Chase and Eric Porter. But with the Red Mist collection, at least you can be as coordinated as they are.

GET BIGGER. From the Magnum fork to the Mulefüt 50 rims—our Plus Collection will have you howling through turns with an increased tire patch and virtual elimination of chatter and small bumps. The Magnum offers 80-140mm for 27.5+ and 80-120mm for 29+ wheel sizes. It also provides plenty of clearance for anything up to the 85mm (3.3”) tire mounted on the all-new SUNringlé Mulefüt SL 50mm STR tubeless rim. That makes it the easiest oversized tubeless setup around. To handle all this grip we’ve developed the Magnum from the proven and award-winning Mattoc 34mm chassis. You and your favorite trail just got smoother.
