The Columbus 1 1/2 Tapered Futura Caliper Fork is a pinnacle of road-race performance, crafted for cyclists who value precision and lightweight design. Developed by the Columbus Carbon Lab, this fork embraces the traditional caliper-brake system while pushing the boundaries of modern engineering. Its ultra-light aerospace carbon fiber construction ensures an exceptional balance of stiffness and flexibility, delivering sharp handling and a responsive ride that meets the demands of competitive cycling.
Designed with input from bike geometry and biomechanics experts, the Futura Caliper Fork features oversized sections and a tapered front to minimize aerodynamic drag and enhance vibration absorption. This not only improves comfort over long distances but also complements the visual aesthetics of high-end carbon, steel, alloy, and titanium frames. The fork’s streamlined profile and multiple rake options (45mm and 50mm) provide tailored fit and performance, allowing cyclists and frame builders to optimize the bike’s handling characteristics according to individual size and style.
With a steerer diameter of 1"1/8 at the top and 1"1/2 at the bottom, a 300mm steerer length, and an axle-to-crown length of 368mm, this fork offers compatibility with a wide range of road bikes. Its generous tire clearance supports up to 28mm tires, making it versatile for different riding conditions. The factory-finished UD carbon fiber surface is OEM ready to paint, giving you the freedom to customize the look of your bike without compromising quality or performance.
Is the Futura Caliper Fork compatible with all road frames?
It is designed to fit most modern road frames that support 1"1/8 to 1"1/2 tapered steerers and caliper brakes, but compatibility should be confirmed with your frame manufacturer.
Can I paint the fork myself?
Yes, the fork comes with a UD carbon fiber finish that is OEM ready to paint, allowing for professional customization to match your bike's color scheme.
