Fork Geometry
A: Steerer Length: 166mm
This steerer length is average sized. Longer steer tubes require more headset spacers or a frame with a longer head tube. They will also make the bars higher up naturally.
B: Offset: 28mm
This is a medium-sized offset. It balances a really snappy and a really controlled feeling. Giving you the perfect ride.
C: Dropout Size: 10mm or 3/8″
Designed for front wheels with a 10mm front axle. If your front axle is smaller than your rear, its 10mm.
Conclusion
These forks are EXPENSIVE. I mean, $144 is pretty common for high-end forks, and they are totally worth the price considering the warranty and the quality. These will be a good add-on for a rider who likes to ride park, and street, and dirt since the geometry is really well rounded.
