Ritchey WCS Carbon Boost Mountain Fork The Minimalist approach Suspension forks are great, nobody denies that. However, we'd also argue that riding a rigid fork has a certain charm to it. Maybe it's the extremely accurate and efficient feedback you only receive from a rigid fork, maybe it's the ultra-stiff front end, or maybe it's just the zero maintenance required. Regardless, we can definitely say that the Ritchey WCS Carbon Boost fork retains all of these features and more. The use of a full carbon fiber design including a carbon fiber steerer has allowed Ritchey to keep weight to a minimum, thus widening the weight gap between a suspension fork and the WCS Carbon Boost fork. Full carbon dropouts paired with 15x110mm Boost spacing ensures that the fork will stay stiff when sprinting and track well while cornering. A suspension corrected axle to crown height ensures that the geometry on your bike won't be negatively altered when you switch to the WCS Carbon Boost fork. Compatibility with both 27. 5" and 29" wheels means that this fork is compatible with just about every modern bike. The Ritchey WCS Carbon Boost fork is perfect for XC athletes who want to lighten up their rig, trail hardtail riders who want to give themselves a new challenge, new gravel cyclists who want to use their hardtail instead of a traditional gravel bike, or just for riders who want a more minimalist approach to riding.
