Ethic Merrow V3 8/12 STD HIC fork

Just like its 8 STD-specific counterpart, this fork pursues a single objective: to be the most optimized and lightest 12 STD fork in the world.

Made entirely from the strongest aluminum (7075), its curves and shapes are dictated by extreme stresses, resulting in an ultra-lightweight design while maintaining exceptional robustness. Strength calculations have been meticulously studied to withstand the stresses of 30mm wide wheels.

It is 12 STD compatible thanks to the new V3 axles, which are lighter, stronger, and more aesthetically pleasing, and feature Torx 40 fittings.

It is also sold with new 8 STD conversion axles, allowing for easy use with 24mm wheels. Much more aesthetically pleasing than the standard axles used previously, they allow the fork to be used in 8 STD without an increase in weight or loss of strength.

Tube height: 16.5cm

Available in 3 versions:

- IHC: to satisfy those who want to ride with aluminum or 31.8 steel handlebars, and particular attention has been paid to this version to offer the same rigidity as the SCS/HIC versions (a point that is generally lacking in other IHC forks).

- SCS: a version optimized for this compression system and which now allows total compatibility with all other brands' setups (except for exotic parts…), eliminating the need for spacers under the SCS for everything to work.

- HIC: a version finally 100% dedicated to HIC, ensuring full use of this compression system, with a fork tube that extends above the handlebar slot, thus increasing its strength and lifespan.
