With more than 40 years of designing and building bicycles and components dedicated to adventures that go beyond limits or expectations, Tom created the new Ritchey WCS Steel Adventure Fork for those of us that are unbound by the constraints of riding-surface type, love the challenge of seemingly insurmountable distances, and free from pre-conceived notions of what a modern fork should be.
The new WCS Steel Adventure Fork has been meticulously engineered and painstakingly built to perform as only a steel fork can - compliant yet confident; strong yet supple; forgiving yet razor sharp. Featuring a 1-1/8” straight steerer for just the right amount of welcome compliance, this fork delivers premium comfort, offers practical features, and gives riders a truly memorable experience on all manner of cycling adventures.
With your desire to ride far and long in any condition or under any circumstance, the Steel Adventure Fork features rack mounts for packs full of gear and a fender mount to keep the grime off you and your bike. The three multi-purpose mounts on the legs give you more places to stow the necessities you gather at the last cafe. The WCS Steel Adventure Fork also fits up to 27.5 x 2.6” or 29” x 2.6” tires (depending on tire make and model) – making this fork the ultimate addition to any rig assembled for the purpose of seeking, discovering, and enjoying adventure.
