Columbus Futura Cross Fork "Ready To Paint" Rake may be changed via inserts to be either 47mm or 52mm. Fork will be delivered in raw condition. Futura Cross #CrossIsComing! The family grows and together with the Disc and Gravel models, the Futura Cross model completes the range of disc brake solutions for off-road enthusiasts whether it be pure cyclocross, b-roads, or off-road adventures. The famous lines of the Futura fork are widened and lengthened on the Futura Cross fork to allow riders to mount larger, more tasseled tires. The Futura Cross fork can mount up to 47mm tires on 700c wheels, but more interesting is the option of mounting 27.5” wheels with a 2.1” tyre; a standard and tyre choice which is becoming the choice of more and more gravel and monster-cross riders. Following industry standards, the fork is designed for 12mm thru-axles and flat-mount disc brakes to ensure compatibility with the majority of modern road and cyclocross disc-brake groupsets. Further increasing the range of steerer options within the Futura line, the 1.5” oversized steerer is synonymous with stability and durability, desirable traits on uneven or slippery terrain. The external cable guides are designed to make it as easy as possible to mount and maintain the fork and braking system, facilitating the cleaning and care of your fork and headset. The built-in eyelets near the dropouts give you the option of mounting a front mudguard which, when not being used, are closed with flathead screws which disappear into the lines of the fork creating a seamless and elegant continuity. Last but not least, the innovative Multi-Rake system provides frame designers with more freedom to design when it comes to geometry and trail, and an adjustable set-up based on use and choice of tires ensures riders will find the perfect fit.
