The Shadow Finest Fork is lightweight yet durable, and suitable for all aspects of riding. Shadow's proprietary steer tube design offers extra strength at the bearing race, a common failure point on most forks. Hydroformed legs with butted thickness make the Finest fork even stronger than a traditional welded fork. Shadow also uses its exclusive RigiDrop system; stiffens the drops, stopping the ‘sway’ that a traditional welded drop has, making it stronger and less prone to cracking at another problem area. Needless to say the Finest forks are definitely solid!
