Bicycles with carbon forks

Carbon fork

— the key advantages of carbon fibre are high strength and low weight. However, this material is not cheap, so in some forks, it is combined with parts from more affordable materials, such as steel. It is also worth noting that carbon does not tolerate strong shocks and vibrations. Thus, these forks are found mainly in high-end road bikes designed for high-speed riding on flat roads and designed for maximum weight reduction.
