About this product
The eXotic Rigid Alu Cross Country 26-inch Mountain Bike Fork is a black alloy rigid fork designed for mountain bikes. It features both disc and V-brake mounts, providing versatility for different braking systems. The fork has an item length of 46.5cm and a 1 1/8 inch steerer tube made from 7075 aluminum. As a rigid fork, it offers zero suspension travel, aiming for a lightweight and direct ride feel suitable for cross-country applications.
Our take
For riders who prefer the direct feel and lower maintenance of a rigid fork, this eXotic model is a solid option for 26-inch mountain bikes. The alloy construction keeps the weight down and should offer good durability. I appreciate the versatility of having both disc and V-brake mounts, accommodating a wider range of older or custom builds. The 46.5cm length is standard for this wheel size. While it's great for cross-country where efficiency is key, the complete lack of suspension means you'll feel every bump, which might not be ideal for very rough trails or long descents. It's a specialist item for a specific type of ride.
