Brompton Titanium Fork Caliper Brake R-TBF-05

Features

1. Aerospace-Grade Material
Crafted from Ultra-light Ti3Al2.5V Titanium Alloy, a material primarily used in the aerospace industry, this fork assembly boasts exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and durability.

2.Ultra-light Weight
Weighing just about 260 grams, it is significantly lighter than the standard steel fork by 305 grams, contributing to a lighter overall bike weight and improved handling.

3.High Strength and Compatibility
Despite its lightness, the fork does not compromise on strength. It is also fully compatible with Standard Brompton bikes, ensuring a seamless fit and performance.

4.Optimized Size and Fit
The dropout width has been optimized to 74mm for regular hub width or 100mm for the disc version, providing better compatibility with various wheel and brake setups compared to the original 72mm width.

Why Brompton Titanium Fork?

Choosing a brompton titanium fork offers several advantages over other materials:

1. Durability and Strength
Titanium is known for its high strength-to-weight ratio. This means that a brompton titanium fork can withstand the rigors of daily use and the stresses of folding and unfolding, without adding excessive weight to the bike.

2. Corrosion Resistance
Unlike steel, titanium does not rust. This makes it an ideal choice for bicycles that might be exposed to wet conditions or salt, ensuring the fork maintains its integrity and appearance over time.

3. Comfort
Titanium has a natural dampening effect that can absorb vibrations and road shock better than aluminum or steel. This results in a smoother ride, reducing fatigue for the rider.

4. Aesthetics
Titanium has a unique, sleek appearance that can enhance the look of a folding bike. Its natural silver color doesn’t require painting, and it can be polished to a brilliant shine.

5. Customization and Design Flexibility
Due to its malleability when hot, titanium allows for complex shapes and designs that can improve aerodynamics and functionality, such as integrated cable routing or specific geometry for better handling on a folding bike.

6. Longevity
A well-made brompton titanium fork can last the lifetime of the bike and beyond, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run despite its higher initial cost compared to other materials.
