No.22 Bicycles Celebrates the Launch of Its No.6 Brand with a Series of New Forks

No.22 Bicycles (think titanium on the atomic scale) is celebrating the launch of its new brand called No.6 (think carbon on the atomic scale) with a series of carbon forks aimed at roadies, gravel grinders and bikepackers alike. And, if you can believe it, there’s even a fork for squeezer brakes in the mix. 

Aptly called the Gravel Fork and Road Fork(s), the gravel variant can accommodate tires up to 47mm in 700c and a hefty 52mm in 650b, while the Road Disc version has enough clearance for 50mm. 

In the case of the rim brake model, it can provide room for tires up to 30mm, which is plenty of rubber for any roadie who’s looking for a plush ride.   

Additionally, the Gravel Fork is spec’d with the 50mm rake, while both Road Forks are available in rakes of 45mm or 50mm. Moreover, the Gravel and Road Disc are available with either internal routing via an opening at the top of the fork leg, or with full internal routing that passes through the steerer. Also, the forks are offered in two finishes, matte carbon or “ready-to-paint”, allowing custom paint options for buyers who want to personalize their bike.

The Gravel and Road Disc forks sells for $475, while the rim version of the Road fetches $399.
