Buy Road Bike and Mountain Bike Rigid Forks Affordably at the Bicycle Online Shop of starbike.com

Rigid forks are primarily used on road bikes due to their low weight. Preferred materials for their construction include aluminum and carbon.

In the lightweight construction sector, carbon bicycle forks are the benchmark, mainly because of their lighter weight but also due to their higher stiffness. However, this weight savings comes with a higher purchase price and a certain sensitivity to damage from falls, as cracks in the material are often difficult or impossible to detect from the outside.

Manufacturers, such as THM-Carbones, therefore offer a crash replacement service, allowing customers to purchase a new fork at a reduced price in case of damage.

Carbon forks are particularly sensitive in the steerer tube area. Installation should always be done using a torque wrench to ensure that the manufacturer’s specified torque values are adhered to.

Many common rigid forks are slightly bent forward at the lower section to provide some cushioning when riding over uneven surfaces, thanks to the material's flexibility. In addition to THM-Carbones, we also offer forks from brands such as Salsa, Surly, DT Swiss, and Ritchey in our product range.
