Mmm, nice. Reckon they'll be tandem rated? No sign of mounting points for front panniers though, oversight on their part for the bikepacking niche?

No word yet from UK distributors Saddleback- but suggested US pricing is $625.

Do ENVE apply the [i]"Standardized US-UK pricing policy"[/i]? If so that'll be £625 over here then... shame.

How come we don't have a UK equivalent of ENVE, a native to the UK Carbon bike parts monger?

Looks pretty, but so does a Niner fork which weighs 100 grams less (and is probably cheaper).

still only on-one making a 440mm monocoque fork with straight steerer then.

shame it looks gopping. that enve fork looks awesome but at 470 far far too long for my 29er 🙁

For most US products it's usually worse than that, change the dollar sign to a pound, then add on about 10%. At least that's the case for importers like Jungle (Santa Cruz, Niner.)

I think I want these for my TDR bike. Only problem is I'd have to get a better frame than what I was planning to do them justice 🙂

Yep it'll be atleast 600quid, which is crackers money for a rigid fork! but having had a niner carbon fork and now a Chinese fork the ride quality is better on the big brand forks, still i'll leave these to the show bike builds.....
