Leading the field in Cyclocross frame and fork design. Now, Kinesis latest RC09 fork is way out front again with it's super lightweight, 460g monocoque construction and radical leading edge blade shape.

Key Features:

• The optional brake hanger coupled to the advanced blade shape, allows powerful, judder free braking that is just not possible with other manufacturers, outdated designs.
• The forged alloy hanger keys and bolts to a specially shaped crown and eliminates the need for a steerer mounted hanger.
• It does away with the long drop of inner cable between the top of the headset and straddle cable.
• In standard 'cross fork designs, minute changes in length caused by flex in the fork under braking, cause resonance in this area that leads to judder in some circumstances [mostly on harder surfaces with larger frames and riders].
• The use of a crown mounted hanger completely eliminates this problem.

• The RC09 comes without hanger as standard and it must be ordered separately.
