The Trialtech Sport Disc forks have a feature list that makes them one of the best quality and best performing forks available. The Sport forks feature an extra thick (6mm) one piece CNC machined steerer that offers significant stiffness and strength advantages over more traditional two-piece steerer designs. By maintaining the thicker section further down the steerer than many other forks, the Sport forks benefit from increased strength and stiffness around the crown area. The legs feature an increased weld contact area at the crown, helping distribute stress better and allow the overall design to take maximum benefit from the one piece streerer.
The Sport Disc forks have a disc mount design that is aimed at distributing the braking forces across a wider area and more individual contact points, helping the fork cope with larger more powerful disc brakes than many other forks. Furthermore, the 26” forks feature a +20mm disc mount position, allowing riders to benefit from the extra power of a larger disc brake without the need for adding the weight of an adaptor. Knowing that the disc brake requirements for 20” wheel bikes are not as demanding as those for 26” wheel bikes, the 20” forks are fitted with an International Standard (IS) disc mount position, allowing any IS disc brake system to bolt straight on.
To simplify assembly the Sport forks feature a one piece CNC threaded top cap that screws directly in to the steerer itself and replaces the various parts needed for a traditional star-nut system. The forks are finished in a tough matt black anodising and feature a stylish and bold Trialtech laser etched logo on the front of the right hand leg. Total weight for the fork including the top cap and a full length steerer is just 911g for the 26” fork and 864g for the 20” version! The 26” forks are 410mm long with 40mm offset and the 20" forks are 365mm long with 40mm offset.
