29er Dorado fork on the way for 2011?

BikeRumor.com has this morning posted a shot of Manitou’s 2011 Dorado prototype and also dropped a hint that the brand will show a 29er specific model at InterBike.

Click here for a look at the 2011 prototype 26-inch specific downhill fork, which weighs in at 6.55 lbs thanks to aluminium legs. The internals remain the same as those within the carbon legged model, due at retail later this year.

The aluminium version will cost $1,000 less than the carbon model.
