TartyBikes : Echo Urban 2009

- Well-proven and very popular fork for both street and natural riders, updated for 2009!
- Super-thick butted steerer is now even stronger than previously, being a massive 8mm thick at the bottom!
- 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 almost all other forks, the Urbans have excellent tyre clearance and a rather distinctive 'wide' shape.
- Using the same pressed and then welded construction process for the steerer, these forks are stiffer than the 2006 models due to the extra thick steerer tube they now have.
- Available for 26" wheel bikes only, 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: 810g (Disc Only).
- Weights including full length steerer tube.

Fork Dimensions

- Axle to Crown length: 402mm
- Axle Offset: 45mm
- Steerer tube length: 220mm

Please note that due to the design limitations of 4-Bolt forks, they are always less durable than the same model without the 4-Bolt mount fitted. The stiff section where the mount is located causes a stress riser, and this makes the fork more likely to break. We therefore advise that forks fitted with a 4-Bolt brake mount will always fail earlier than the same fork without this mount attached.
