With over 40 years of designing and building adventure bikes and components that exceed limits or expectations, Tom has created the new Ritchey WCS Steel Adventure Fork for those of us who aren't limited by the constraints of riding surface type, who enjoy the challenge of seemingly insurmountable distances and who are free of preconceived notions of what a modern fork should be.
The new WCS Steel Adventure fork has been meticulously designed and meticulously built to perform as only a steel fork can - at once supple and confident, strong and supple, forgiving and razor-sharp. Featuring a 1.5 cm straight steerer for perfect compliance, this fork offers optimum comfort, practical functionality and a memorable experience for cyclists, whatever their adventure.
With your desire to ride far and long in any condition or circumstance, the Steel Adventure Fork includes rack mounts for packs full of gear and a mudguard mount to keep dirt off you and your bike. Three versatile leg mounts give you more places to store the necessities you gather at the last coffee shop. The WCS Steel Adventure Fork also fits 27.5 x 2.6' or 29' x 2.6' tires (depending on tire make and model), making this fork the ideal complement to any gear assembled for the purpose of seeking, discovering and enjoying adventure.
