Trialprod told us in June of the imminent arrival of a new carbon fork developed by Rockman, one of the specialist brands in competition trials who have been at the top level on the international circuit thanks to Canada’s No.1, John Webster. Here’s a presentation of that fork…
The heritage of the fork is clear to see in the similarities with Try All’s fork that came out last year, but this new model has some technical, geometrical and aesthetic changes that make it a very different product. It comes with an aluminium insert to reduce the risk of breaking the more vulnerable steerer tube. And, as promised, it also comes with a six month warranty. A 20" carbon fork will also soon be joining the Rockman catalogue, although it is still currently in the final stages of testing. More information on these forks will be available from Trialprod soon.
