{"product_id":"ks-gtc-fourche-gravel-suspendue","title":"KS GTC gravel suspension fork","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe KS GTC is a 40 mm suspension fork for gravel and e-gravel, made for rough tracks where your hands take every stone. \u003cstrong\u003eIt fits a frame with a 1.5-inch tapered head tube designed for a 435 mm axle-to-crown.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAir spring, oil damping: inflated to sink 6 to 10 mm under your weight, it keeps its travel for the hits. The front wheel follows the ground instead of bouncing, and the steering stays precise when the track gets rougher. Rebound is set at the bottom of the fork leg, and the dial on the crown locks the fork out on tarmac.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen there is the geometry. On a frame designed around a shorter rigid fork, every extra centimetre of axle-to-crown raises the front end and slackens the head angle by about half a degree. At sag, its axle-to-crown falls between 425 and 429 mm: compare that with your current fork. KS limits spacers to 30 mm under the stem, and the fork to ASTM categories 1 and 2: road, light cross-country, dirt paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe GTC marks KS's entry into gravel, tested by Vojo and BikeRadar. We offer it for frames designed for suspension, for riders who want to smooth out the track and ride rigid on tarmac.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60032578879813,"sku":"CPT-KS-GTC","price":450.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1062\/4181\/8949\/files\/ks-gtc-studio-01.webp?v=1793611062","url":"https:\/\/maake.cc\/en\/products\/ks-gtc-gravel-suspension-fork","provider":"MAAKE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
