  • Ron 

While it may seems that high-end suspension options have gotten more expensive, prices have largely followed inflation over the years. Still, not everyone can afford to drop $900-1200 on a fork, especially if they have a multi-bike stable. In that light, RockShox has introduced 2 new forks priced under $600.

Cane Creek releases pair of gravel forks

  • Ron 

Cane Creek has released a pair of inverted gravel forks with 30 and 40mm of travel. They are splitting hairs calling this the world’s first gravel fork, as there have been slim, low travel forks from other brands, but it’s safe to say that it is the first ‘gravel-first’ design that has come to the market, and, it certainly integrates better with the aesthetics of drop bar bikes than forks
