A: Segmented and Unicrown are different construction styles for the connection between the fork steerer and the fork legs.

Both forks test to CEN Standard. However, we’ve found during in-house testing that Unicrown forks have superior fatigue characteristics. As such we recommend Unicrown construction for the best combination of rigidity, weight, and appearance.


Q: Why are your disc forks ISO mount?

A: ISO means International Standardization Organization, and that means it is an actual recognized standard. Both for frames and forks ISO mounts provide the widest range of component compatibility and the easiest to work with for consistent results.

Custom Forks can be built to customer specifications.


Q: Why do your production forks have external brake hose routing?

A: For consumers, especially those who travel, internal brake routing is a pain to deal with. Hydraulic disc brakes have become an industry standard and for drop bar bikes an internal front brake line effectively means the handlebars and fork are one part and simply removing handlebars or fork from the bike requires a brake bleed serviced any time the caliper is disconnected.

Internal brake routing is an option for any Custom or Semi-Custom fork order.
