Nine years after the birth of its older sister, the Merrow fork returns in its third version.
The sole purpose of the Merrow V3: To be the most optimal and lightest fork possible. (The lightest fork in the world).
It's made entirely of the strongest aluminum (7075) and its curves and shapes are dictated by constraints to make it ultralight yet very strong.
It is still only compatible with 8 STD (8 x 24mm) wheels and can now also accommodate wheels up to 120mm in diameter.
New torx 40 axles: stronger and more practical, now only one wrench is needed to tighten the fork (torx 40 wrench included).
With the advent of this new bolt system format, the Merrow v3 fork can now accommodate a 7075 compression bolt, contributing to the low weight of the entire set.
This fork is available in three versions: SCS / HIC / IHC. Each is optimized for the respective lengths and compression system used.
Available in 3 colours: black / raw / chrome blue
