This class-leading fork changes the game for load-carrying capability on a carbon fork. With our improved VGM mounting points you can safely and reliably load up 8 kg on each fork leg (16 kg in total), allowing you to carry more than ever on your next off-road adventure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0201\/1062\/files\/MADEBikeShowAustralia-Curve-15_600x600.jpg?v=1724214851\" alt=\"Curve Cycling UpRock with Seek 500 Carbon Fork\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame-changing Load Carrying Capability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith Curve’s VGM technology, we’re saying goodbye to the less reliable rivnut fork mounts for good. Our CNC-machined mounts, pierce the fork leg completely and once bonded in place they are supported in all directions. Rough trails or desert corrugations cannot wiggle our mounts loose and we’ve done the lab testing to prove it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarsh lab testing has demonstrated that 8 kg can be mounted confidently to three fork mounts on each side. That’s an incredible 16 kg in total; a number that’s unmatched for a carbon fork leg mounting as far as we’re aware. This means you can be more creative in how you pack on your adventures. Riders with smaller frames with less carrying capacity in the central frame triangle can load up their forks, making a wider range of adventures possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0201\/1062\/files\/IMG_5588_600x600.jpg?v=1724301226\" alt=\"Curve Cycling Carbon Fork Heavy Duty Load Carrying Capability\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eNote: This image does not show a Seek 500 fork, instead it shows a Seek 430 FM fork which uses the same VGM mount technology.\u003c\/em\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e The Perfect Bikepacking Upgrade for your Hardtail MTB\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a 500 mm axle-crown measurement, the suspension-corrected Seek 500 is designed to replace a 120 mm suspension fork.
