Clean X2 Alloy Tapered 26"

Product code: 13177

Please note this fork has a tapered 1 1/8" upper to 1.5" lower steerer tube, and is not compatible with 'straight' steerer tube frames. If you are unsure of the differences or compatibility, please contact us before ordering.

- From Spanish brand Clean, their Alloy Tapered 26" 4-Bolt Forks!
- Constructed from high grade aluminium alloy to give a great strength to weight ratio.
- Super thick tapered steerer tube ensures the forks have the longest lifespan possible, whilst internal butting helps keep weight as low as possible.
- Over-sized crown area of the fork provides great weld contact area for the fork legs, giving more strength at this key area.
- Integrated crown race means that the lower headset bearing can be run directly on the fork crown.
- Suitable for use with either tapered head tube frames, or internal head tube 1 1/8" frames used with a Hope Type H Lower Headset Cup.
- CNC-machined 4-bolt brake mounts (spaced at 95mm) have integrated booster plates to help dissipate the stresses put through the brake mounts, in turn helping prolong the fork's lifespan.
- Chunky dropouts have their welds connecting them to the fork smoothed off to limit the chances of cracking. Please note: Due to the thickness of the dropout, it is important to check that you have suitable thread contact within the axle to support your axle bolt. We recommend a minimum bolt length of 25mm is used.
- Tough anodised black finish is complimented by Clean's latest water transfer graphics.
- Weight: 943g.

Fork Dimensions
- Axle to Crown length: 410mm
- Axle Offset: 25mm
- Steerer tube length: 190mm

Will this fit the most recent Echo 26 frames? The newest frames and the old Echo Ti frames both are tapered and if this would fit, I would love to purchase it along with several other parts. Thanks for the help!

Hi Shane

If your frame is using a standard 1-1/8" to 1.5" tapered head tube, regardless of the type of headset used, these forks will fit. You could also fit them to a frame with a 44mm ID head tube designed for external cup headsets, you'll need a lower headset adaptor cup for this, like the Hope HSCH. However, doing this will alter the geometry slightly.
