The Ritchey WCS Carbon fork combines razor-sharp precision with a high level of comfort and practical features for all kinds of bike adventures. Its one-piece monocoque construction with HMF carbon fibers (High Modulus Fiber) provides superior strength while reducing fatigue from road noise that comes with endless days and nights in the saddle.

Overlooked potholes are ironed out by the carefully designed Adventure rigid fork thanks to the smooth internal fiber flow in the steerer area. Because this not only ensures optimum power transmission from the fork crown to the steerer tube, but also increases the impact resistance.

To be able to travel far and long, it requires sufficient space for luggage. In addition, to be able to ride in all conditions, light and a mudguard that keeps dirt off the bike are essential. Thanks to numerous mounts for luggage racks, bags or bottle cages, as well as for a fender or to attach a dynamo, the WCS Gravel fork represents the ultimate complement for all riders who not only seek adventure, but also want to discover and enjoy it.
