Fork Geometry

A: Steerer Length: 165mm

This is the average-sized steer tube. A bigger steer tube will require spacers and make the bars higher. These forks don’t do that.

B: Offset: Adjustable (22mm, 25mm, 28mm) – Learn more about offset here

22mm for super tech and front-wheel stuff

25mm for street and park moves

28mm offset for high-speed trails and park.

C: Dropout Size: 10mm

For 10mm front wheel axles.

Conclusion

Honestly, I’m thinking about getting these next. It’s such a good idea to have the adjustable offset options. Now you can try out a certain offset and go back to something more comfortable if need be. These forks are super light, and make out of high-quality chromoly.

My parents bought me my first BMX bike in 2011 and it changed my life. This bike has taken me all over the world and introduced me to cool places and cooler people. My goal is to help get 1,000,000 people into BMX so they can experience the joy and freedom that comes from a progression based sport.
