KONA Jake Fork
Best carbon upgrade for cyclocross riders seeking precise, lightweight handling.
This carbon fork is a reliable upgrade for riders looking to shed weight and sharpen handling on their cyclocross or gravel rig. While the tapered steerer and thru-axle setup ensure modern stiffness and precision, you’ll need to double-check your frame’s geometry to ensure the axle-to-crown height matches your current setup.
