When we released the Warakin Ti at the end of February, the most common question we received was if the bike includes a fork with mounting points. We listened to your feedback. All of our gravel bikes now have a fork mount option available in our Custom Bike Builder. This includes framesets and complete builds.
The fork that we added to our Custom Bike Builder is the Whisky Parts Co. No. 9 MCX Fork. Since all of our gravel bikes have massive tire clearance of at least 29” x 2.1”, it was important for us to find a fork that could meet our specs without holding negating the advantages of our bikes. This Whisky Parts Co. No. 9 MCX fork will clear 700c x 51mm and 650b x 61mm tires and it has three mounts per blade and fender mounts. Additionally, it’s made of the same lightweight carbon that is stock with our Lithic forks.
Here are a few specs for those who obsess over details (like us):
- Axle-to-crown: 415mm
- Offset: 51mm
- Axle: 12mm x 100mm thru-axle
- Disc brakes: flat mount
- Max rotor size: 180mm
- Steerer type: 1.5” tapered
- Steerer length: 350mm
- Rake: 50mm
- Crown race: 40mm
- Weight: 530g
- Tire clearance: 700c x 51mm, 650b x 61mm
- Tire clearance with fender: 700c x 45mm
Our Custom Bike Builder is a tool that allows you to completely customize your bike on our website. We’ve selected base build specs that are the default when you visit a bike’s Custom Bike Builder page. If you want carbon bars instead of aluminum, you can change that. If you want a 2x drivetrain instead of 1x, you can change that, too. Now you can select the Whisky Parts Co. No. 9 MCX Fork as a fork option so you can build your perfect bike that we’ll assemble and ship to your door.
This new fork option is available on bikes sold through our website, as well as any bike shop in the Otso dealer network. Now start planning those bikepacking trips!
