SALSA CYCLES KINGPIN DELUXE CARBON FORK | Carbon Fork for Fat Bikes Expands Adventure Possibilities
Compatible with 26x5 inch tires. A high-performance carbon fork for adventure fat bikes that compromises neither carrying capacity nor off-road capability.
Snowfields, sandy terrain, unpaved roads, and long-distance touring. Because fat bikes tackle harsh environments, their forks demand not only lightness but also high expandability and reliability.
The KINGPIN DELUXE CARBON FORK is a fat bike specific fork made from high-modulus carbon fiber. It achieves both a supple ride feel and sufficient rigidity, ensuring stable handling even when carrying luggage.
Each fork leg features dual Three-Pack mounts. This allows for the attachment of multiple Anything Cages or large bottles, making it suitable for bike packing and long-distance expeditions. Furthermore, mid-blade mounts are provided, enabling the installation of lowrider racks.
In addition to generous clearance for tires up to 26x5 inches, it also incorporates a 150x15mm thru-axle and internal routing for 150 Boost dynamo hubs. It brings together the practicality required for challenging fields at a high level.
