I found fork weight to be almost irrelevant when it comes to trying to manual, the easiest bike to manual that I've ever ridden was this full on DH thing with triple crowns, front came up easy and it took little effort to hold it. Way easier than my carbon bike with XC forks that said my SSCX bike does like to manual a bit more than the tallboy too.
