Made from aeronautical grade muti-layer carbon fibre - The progressive curve of the blades dampens vibrations and gives great stability in extreme conditions.
Optimised for use with caliper brakes, the Futura features a tapered steerer for enhanced control as you weave around your chosen route. Durably built to cope with all weather conditions, it is equipped with asymmetrically reinforced areas and enhanced torsion control to make sure no ride is too intimidating for you or your bike. An excellent addition to any modern road bike, the Futura is a top performing fork for the fast and focused rider.
During these 100 years Columbus has increased its knowledge to correctly define every functional aspect of a fork, thoroughly calculating the optimum side and frontal strength parameters, without omitting the aesthetic aspect and lightness of the piece. Since more than 90 years the forks made with Columbus steel fork blades are all of this. Today the use of carbon fibre gives more lightness to this component and allows Columbus to capitalise its experience. Carbon fibre is 4 times more resistant than steel and 8 times more resistant than alloy, and thanks to its versatility and sense of direction of the fibres.
This superb model features carbon construction which is not only durable but also immensely lightweight, so you won’t have to worry about adding any unnecessary weight to your ride. Its steerer features a 1 1/8” top which tapers down to 1.5” for the bottom bearing. This aerodynamic model is incredibly stiff, making it ideal for climbing and when its time to descend its integrated asymmetric profile will keep you in full control of the ride. This is a perfect choice of a replacement for changing out your old or worn-out existing road bike fork.
