Technologies

Carbon headband
The perfect combination of strength, lightness and performance in your gravel fork. Unmatched stiffness-to-weight ratio: the carbon headband offers exceptional stiffness while minimizing weight. Taking advantage of the characteristics of carbon fiber, the fork demonstrates remarkable stiffness, providing precise handling and improved control on all types of terrain. You'll experience high responsiveness that will enable quick and precise trajectory changes. Aesthetics: the carbon headband adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to your gravel fork. Its visual presence elevates the overall aesthetics of the bike and reflects the taste for high-performance equipment.

Return speed adjustment
Customize the response of your suspension according to your preferences and the specific conditions you encounter. Personalized riding experience: by changing the return speed, you can achieve the perfect balance of control and comfort. It's your pedaling, it's your rules. Adaptability to changing terrain: gravel often takes you over different terrain. Fine-tune the fork's response to absorb unevenness, maintain tire contact with the terrain, and keep things under control, no matter what the trail throws at you. Better handling and stability: a faster return gives a more poised feel, allowing your bike to recover quickly and maintain optimum ground contact. A slower return, on the other hand, provides better traction, reducing the risk of losing control on slippery or uneven surfaces. Get the perfect balance to tackle the most technical sections of the course with confidence. Improved efficiency and speed: Return speed adjustment helps maximize pedaling efficiency and overall speed. This results in efficient power transfer and smoother pedaling, allowing you to reach new levels of speed and performance. Easy adjustments: the outer knob at the bottom offers the convenience of easy, tool-free adjustments.

Tire width
Want to push your limits? there's room for tires up to 700x50C! In the world of gravel, having a suspension fork that can accommodate tires up to 50c wide opens up a world of exciting possibilities and benefits. Unmatched comfort: with wider tires, you get more comfort during your pedaling. Larger tire volume allows lower tire pressures, effectively absorbing vibration and shock on rough terrain. Enhanced traction: wider tires offer more ground contact area, providing superior traction on gravel, dirt or uneven surfaces. This means better control, superior stability and greater confidence when tackling challenging terrain. Versatility at its best-Whether you're exploring dirt roads, conquering alpine trails or commuting over rough roads, wider tires allow you to tackle a wide range of surfaces and conditions. Adaptability becomes your best ally, allowing you to venture farther and explore new horizons.
