Ritchey WCS Carbon MTB Adventure Fork Description:
The Ritchey WCS Carbon MTB Adventure Fork is designed for adventurous riders looking to lighten up the front end of their bike without sacrificing the ability to mount up racks, fenders, and accessories. Tough high modulus carbon fibers and cutting edge construction techniques put less bends in the fibers as they flow throughout the fork which results in a torsionally stiff and robust fork with just the right amount of dampening to create an ideal balance of road/trail feel and comfort. Several accessory mounts with stainless steel hardware exist on these forks to make it very easy to safely haul gear, and rounding out the package are fork blades with plenty of room for 2.4" wide tires so a rider will have all of the comfort, confidence, and control they need to explore the trails less travelled.
Notes: Depending on inventory, this product may feature either a multi-colored (champion's stripes) or a grey Ritchey logo. No more than 30mm of headset spacers can be used between the top of the bicycles headset and the bottom of the stems steerer tube clamp. For more details and instructions for setting up the fork, please consult the forks owner's manual.
Features:
- Suspension corrected geometry so this fork will maintain similar geometry and handling characteristics of a bike equipped with a 100mm-120mm travel suspension fork
- Lightweight (less than half the weight of a typical 100mm travel suspension fork) full high modulus carbon fiber construction delivers incredible strength and durability while fighting off rider fatigue by dampening road and trail chatter
- Tapered steerer tube, integrated 45° crown race, and smooth internal fiber flow in the crown/steerer area results in excellent force transfer from the crown to the steerer tube and offers robust impact strength
- Thru axle with boost spacing improves torsional rigidity for great handling manners and adds clearance for wider mountain bike tire/rim combos
- Dynamo cable internal routing and threaded crown mounts allow a hub dynamo powered headlight to be attached to the fork for a light that shines bright as long as the bike is moving
- Rack, fender, and multi-purpose mounts on the fork blades provide attachment points to haul the gear needed for a cycling adventure (3kg max capacity per fork blade)
