A carbon fibre fork helps to offer a more comfortable ride, absorbing some of the bumps. It is also the best material for providing strength, high tension and lightweight.

Easton EC90 SL

The Easton EC90 SL Straight Road Fork uses added layers of carbon, which make the EC90 SL slightly stiffer than the SLX. Legs, crown and steerer are all made from Carbon fibre CNT Composite monocoque It weighs 359grams. Easton Forks at Wiggle

Funda 3T Carbon Forks

The Funda 3T carbon fork is one of the lightest on the market at only 335grams. The fork blades have also been designed to optimise airflow, still very important for road bikes. Good stiffness under braking. Will notice difference if replacing from heavier aluminium steerer versions. Funda 3T at Wiggle

Pro-Lite Giavanni Fork

At £100, it is half the price of the Easton EC90, but, is heavier at 495grams for version with carbon steer. Designed with aerodynamics in mind, this is specific for a time trial or track bike.
