Troll Steel Fork – Built for Adventure
Crafted for riders who demand versatility without compromise, the Troll Steel Fork combines rugged durability with smart engineering. Ideal for mountain touring, gravel expeditions, or daily commutes with cargo needs, this fork supports disc brakes and front rack installations simultaneously—a rare feature in 26″ wheel-compatible forks.
Key Advantages
✅ Dual-Brake Compatibility: Works seamlessly with disc brakes (160mm IS mount) or traditional canti brakes (studs included).
✅ Cargo-Ready Design: Reinforced blade mounts allow secure attachment of front racks without sacrificing brake functionality.
✅ Max Tire Clearance: Accommodates up to 3.0″ tires for enhanced off-road grip while maintaining a lightweight steel build (1,192g).
✅ Rugged Construction: Cold-rolled steel ensures longevity on rough trails or urban paths.
