Description
With the accelerated pace of change in the gravel category, Enve has stepped forward to deliver a tapered full carbon gravel bike fork with massive 700x50mm clearance, a proper 395mm axle to crown measurement, a 12/100mm thru-axle, Direct Mount disc caliper standard, and the superior combination of performance and ride quality Enve's carbon forks are known for. Add in well designed internal cable routing and fender mounts while weighing in uncut at 520 grams, and you have a superlative gravel fork option developed by people with direct knowledge in all facets of the gravel world.
As a company based in Ogden, UT Enve is in a fantastic environment for gravel and adventure riding and the company features many gravel riders , as well as being major partners of the custom frame builder community. These practical and professional experiences allowed the engineers to identify the technical improvements required by a full-carbon gravel fork to meet the needs of the modern gravel rider and the bicycle frames they are riding. As the industry’s leading fork manufacturers, Enve delivers a new gravel standard for compliance, weight savings, strength, and reliability for demanding rides over any surface.
To track and pilot over rough surfaces hour after hour effectively, gravel forks must be competitively lightweight, resist torsion and soak up vibration and impact. Strength and stiffness are paramount, but the comfort balance must be reached as well. No compromises allowed. The carbon fiber masters at Enve use a carbon lay-up process that runs unidirectional carbon fiber from the top of the fork to the bottom, and instead of drilling holes or stripping away materials, the engineers use a proprietary molding construction process, similar to the one used for spoke holes in Enve's bombproof rims. This keeps all fibers intact from the top of the steerer through the slick 12mm fully integrated, closed carbon TA dropouts and disc caliper Flat Mount standard. The fork is a hollow one-piece design that delivers incredible lateral stiffness and torsional strength, yet rides so smoothly you will have unerring confidence in the handling and predictability of your front end.
