- Well-proven and very popular fork for both street and natural riders, once again updated for 2012!
- Extra thick steerer now features an integrated crown race (45 degree - perfect for Echo SL headsets), reducing the stress riser at the bottom of the steerer tube. You must run a sealed bearing headset with 45 degree lower bearing with these forks and no crown race, or the warranty will be void.
- Featuring fork blades which are welded to the crown section at a more shallow angle (closer to 90 degrees from the line of the crown) than most other forks, the Urbans have excellent tyre clearance and a rather distinctive 'wide' shape.
- Available for 26" wheel bikes only (but also work great with 24" bikes in Disc Only variation), with a choice of dedicated Magura 4-Bolt mounts (spaced at 94mm) and a disc mount, V-brake mounts (also spaced at 94mm) and disc mount, or as a disc only set-up.
- 9mm thick CNC machined disc mount, to take the extra stresses of trials riding.
- Brushed aluminium or anodised black finish helps scratches stay un-noticed for longer and a top coat of lacquer helps them keep their shine.
- Weight: 756g (Black, Disc Only).
- Weights including full length steerer tube.
- Axle Offset: 30mm
- Steerer tube length: 220mm

2 sets of echo urbans both snapped, second set snapped after 2 months after purchase, not happy, iam not a serious rider, i don't do massive hooks or anything that should put the forks under too much pressure.

Hi Aronn - That's pretty strange! Were they both 2012 models? Either way, if you'd like to send them back to us for us to start a warranty claim we can hopefully get something sorted for you. As far as I'm aware we've had no reported cases of the 2012 forks breaking so this is pretty surprising!
Update 9th May: We received the forks back for inspection and they had been used with a crown race, which is the reason for failure. As noted in the product description, these forks can only be used with a 45 degree bearing seated directly onto the fork.
