Salsa Kingpin Carbon MTB Fork 15x150mm Thru-Axle Rigid Black

The Kingpin Deluxe Fork is engineered for adventure-ready cyclists seeking unmatched versatility on fat bike journeys. Whether you’re tackling rugged mountain trails with a fully loaded pannier setup or shedding gear for a lightweight thrill ride, this fork delivers responsive handling and rugged durability. Built from high modulus carbon fiber, it combines featherweight performance with stiffness for precise steering—ideal for navigating technical terrain or long-distance expeditions on 26”, 27.5”, or 29+ wheel systems.

Designed for gear-heavy adventures, the fork features dual Three-Pack mounts on each leg to secure water bottles or Anything Cages, while mid-blade mounts accommodate low-rider racks for panniers—perfect for loaded touring or bikepacking trips. The tapered 1-1/8” to 1-½” steerer tube enhances stability at high speeds, paired with a 15x150mm thru axle that locks in tire sizes up to 5” (26”), ensuring confidence on loose or uneven surfaces.

For off-road dynamo users, internal routing compatibility with 150mm-spaced hubs keeps cables clean and protected. Unlike traditional forks that compromise stiffness for weight savings, the Kingpin’s carbon layup maintains rigidity while shedding grams—critical for trail riders prioritizing agility over bulk. The matte carbon finish resists scratches during rough descents, while post-mount brake compatibility (160-203mm rotors) suits both XC speed and all-mountain braking demands.

Whether conquering alpine passes with a fully loaded rig or carving singletrack with minimal gear, the Kingpin Deluxe Fork adapts to your mission—proving that versatility doesn’t mean sacrificing precision or strength.

Key Advantages vs Competitors:
– Mounting Flexibility: Dual Three-Pack + mid-blade mounts vs single-purpose designs
– Tire Compatibility: Supports 26”/27.5”/29+ wheels vs limited size ranges
– Weight Savings: Carbon fiber construction vs heavier alloy alternatives
– Dynamo Integration: Internal routing not commonly found in fat bike forks

Engineered for fat bike enthusiasts who refuse to choose between load-carrying capability and trail responsiveness—the Kingpin Deluxe Fork elevates every ride.
