Ritchey's history with cyclocross is long and deep, much like the muddy sections of your favorite cross-country course. The WCS Carbon Cross fork was designed from the outset to handle the unique stresses imposed by a disc brake, thanks in part to a carbon structure that resists twisting under hard braking. Decades of experience between racing tape and building bikes and components designed to win inform the performance and design details of this fork. It uses monocoque construction, is compatible with standard and integrated headsets, and features carbon dropouts and a flat disc carrier.
