No. 6 Composites has officially launched its Adventure Fork, a fully featured offering trusted by frame builders worldwide. Keen observers may have seen this minimally branded fork on several custom bikes from No. 22 and other builders. Designed and manufactured by No. 22 Bicycles, an industry leader in custom titanium, No. 6 proudly offers consumers its class-leading line of forks. With a full range of gravel, adventure, and road products, No. 6 is now available as an aftermarket upgrade for those looking to enhance the performance of their existing bike. – No. 6 Composites Website
“We created No. 6 as a sister brand to No. 22 because we could not find a fork on the market with the specifications we desired for our Titanium bikes. Our forks manage a wider tire clearance than other products while maintaining low weight and fantastic ride quality. All No. 6 Forks are now available for direct purchase in addition to our dedicated frame builder program,” states Bryce Gracey, co-founder of No. 6 Composites. “Framebuilders and shops interested in No. 6 products should get in touch. As other component manufacturers cut builder margins, we are actively growing our industry program.”
In addition to being sold with every No. 22 complete bike, No. 6 forks are utilized by leading frame builders, including BAUM, Firefly, English, Bingham, and many more. All No. 6 Forks are minimally branded and come in Black Cerekote or RTP (Ready To Paint).
The No. 6 Composites adventure fork takes you anywhere you want to go and has everything you’ll need to get there. Its massive tire clearance of up to 50mm x 700 (with room to spare), fender mounts, 3-pack accessory mounts, and internal dynamo routing make it the perfect offroad companion. This is packed into a streamlined profile that seamlessly flows into the head tube, weighing less than most options currently available to consumers. Both semi and entirely internal cable routing are available in Black Cerekote or RTP (Ready To Paint) with minimal branding for $525.00 USD.
