Built to last

The cups, taper ring and crown race are all machined from 2014 T6 aluminium in Barnoldswick, UK. Sealing comes from an adjustable taper ring cover and integrated rubber seal, and the stainless bearings carry their own seals too. A straight 1 1/8" fork can also be fitted using Hope's additional conversion crown race.
