Expertly engineered for seamless internal cable routing, this fork combines cutting-edge design with practical functionality. Its 1-1\/2\" tapered steerer starts with a 1-1\/8\" cylindrical shape at the top, ensuring compatibility with most internal-routing stems on the market, delivering a clean and aerodynamic setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe monocoque carbon fiber construction features contiguous internal volumes that allow the front brake cable to run neatly inside the blade, directly to the disc caliper. Additionally, a dedicated opening on the lower rear part of the steerer enables routing for additional mechanical or electronic cables for brakes and derailleurs, enhancing versatility and bike integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance-wise, the Futura Disc fork excels with its ability to accommodate up to 160mm rotors, significantly boosting braking power and control, even in the harshest weather conditions. The fork’s ultra-light T700S \u0026amp; HFM carbon fiber monocoque design, reinforced around the 1-1\/2\" oversized steerer, maximizes stiffness and reliability during braking, ensuring precise handling and an exceptional riding experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptimizing internal cable routing for a sleek, aerodynamic bike setup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhancing braking performance with compatibility for up to 160mm disc rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding excellent stiffness and reliability through reinforced carbon fiber construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupporting versatility with openings for additional mechanical or electronic cables\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccommodating tires up to 28mm wide, suitable for road cycling demands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse with disc rotors larger than 160mm, limiting braking upgrade options\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility with non-flat mount calipers, as it is designed exclusively for flat mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications requiring a steerer diameter different from 1-1\/8\" top to 1-1\/2\" bottom\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOff-road or mountain biking where wider tires and different fork geometry are needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this fork compatible with electronic shifting systems?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the fork features an opening designed to route additional mechanical or electronic cables, making it fully compatible with electronic shifting and braking systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat axle standard does the fork use?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Columbus Futura Disc fork uses a 12mm thru axle, which is included with the product for easy installation and secure fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Columbus","offers":[{"title":"1 1\/2\"-1 1\/8\" \/ Black","offer_id":46193534828719,"sku":"FC159","price":453.64,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/fc159.jpg?v=1768534431","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/columbus-futura-disc-integrated-fork-1-1-2-tapered-steerer-for-road-bikes","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
