Any intel on Enve Adventure Fork

I was close to ordering a Rodeo Labs Spork 3.0 for my Ibis Hakka and I see Enve is close to announcing a gravel adventure fork (with cage mounts and rack setup). Does anyone have any information about the specs (A/C, offset & flip-chip, rack supports)? I dropped Enve a note, but I am sure not to hear. Figured with the Enve builders ball some information must be floating out there.



Thanks,

Warren

Hopefully it's a good fit for the Black Mountain Cycles Road+

But it probably won't be as almost nothing else out there is

Once you start packing ****, an be dependent on it, carbon might not be the best solution. ( and i ride many carbon forks).

I was told this:

It has a flip chip dropout so you can set it to a 49mm or 55mm offset. It's 398mm tall with the 49mm offset, and 406mm tall with the 55mm offset. It also has built in rack mounts, a light mount in the crown, internal dymano routing, and internal brake routing.

Nice. Been awaiting that Allygn M.U.D. fork, but perhaps Enve will beat them to the punch and with variable offset to boot.

With some kind of external lower cup adapter for a tapered steerer?

For this kinda fork, I'd rather it be a hundred or two grams heavier and support a heavier load

Don't know for sure

I dont know for sure but the drawing for my custom had a 410 at 55. Will find out soon enough!

The variable offset is intriguing and makes me want to try it for the 55. That said, have been very happy with my Spork 1.0 or whatever they called the first version. Lots of gravel, loaded camping, racks, panniers, fenders. Extra points for being backward compatible with the thru axle endcap for 2.0 that made a standard thru axle possible. I did have to file/machine those endcaps to get racks and fender bolts to clear. They ironed that out with subsequent additions.

Curious about the clearance on this Enve. It seems like these gravel forks are trending toward fat bike territory
