The Lithic Mountain Fork is a lightweight, versatile carbon option for mountain bikes. It is compatible with 100 and 110mm hubs, it has native options for post and flat mount brakes, and it has an adjustable offset of 7.5mm. Four different dropout options are available based on brake mount type and hub width. Best of all, when the flip chip is used to adjust the offset, disc brakes won’t also need to be adjusted because they are mounted on the same piece of machined aluminum that sets axle positioning.
The Lithic Mountain Fork has three-pack mounts on either side and clearance for 29” x 3.0” tires. External brake routing makes it easy to swap between this fork and a suspension fork. This is a best-in-class option for bikepacking and riding trails alike.
NATIVE BRAKE OPTIONS FOR POST OR FLAT MOUNT
The swappable machined dropouts allow this fork to be native for post mount or flat mount. Add the fork to a drop bar bike with flat mount brakes or to a mountain bike with post mount brakes. Best of all, when the flip chip is changed to alter offset, the brakes won’t need to be adjusted because they are mounted to the same machined aluminum dropout.
ADJUSTABLE OFFSET
A machined aluminum flip chip in the dropout adjusts offset by 7.5mm. A fork’s offset – aka rake – contributes to a bike’s handling. With the flip chip in the front position, the 51.5mm offset makes for agile handling. In the rear position, the 44mm offset creates a more stable ride.
THREE-PACK MOUNTS
Both arms of the fork have three-pack mounts for carrying extra gear. Attach a cargo cage via the three bolt holes to haul bags, bottles, burritos, and more for bikepacking and self-supported rides. Weight limit is 2.5 kg per side.
SUSPENSION CORRECTION
The axle-to-crown is 498mm with the flip chip in the 51.5mm offset (front) position and 495mm with the flip chip in the 44mm offset (rear) position. The fork is optimal for bikes with geometry designed around a 100 – 140mm suspension fork – optimized for 120mm travel.
