Confirmed on Facebook - White Bros brand is being 'retired', and all forks will now be branded MRP.

Why bother? Does MRP have any kudos?

Do White Bros?

Always felt they deserved some recognition for putting White Bros stickers on the side of generic carbon forks and charging twice what everyone else does.

Well done!

Must say I didn't even know MRP owned White Bros. WB always struck me as a brand who were great in the mid 90s, and a bit behind the times since then.

dunno other than being heavy their DH2s were lovely forks back in the day - before downhill realised the weight savings benifit and went stupid light and requires servicing every 20 minutes.

other than type 1 twin rotating plate chain guides MRP = mostly rubbish products where i come from.

The forks on my 9zero7 are White Bros Snowpacks. There were few options for fat carbon forks 18 months ago so I guess they deserve some kudos for getting them out there.
