Dimension Hybrid Fork

It is what it is and that is good!

we have Dimension Hybrid Forks on on 2 Soma Double Cross bikes and 2 2010 Salsa Casseroll bikes set up for light touring. Two of the bikes are mine and two belong to my wife. We've ridden the bikes pretty much everywhere there is a rails-to-trail or remote jeep road in Texas, NM, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, South Dakota, and parts of British Columbia. I cannot find one fault with the forks. They are no heavier than any other chromoly fork, I can assure you as we've owned several over the past 20 years. For the price, they can't be beat. The paint is good and if you are as rough on bikes as we are, this is the perfect fork.

Pros: Good paint, shape adds to the appearance of some bike frames which normally come with a straight bladed fork. Provides a good retro look to a modern, quality chromoly frame.

Cons: Can't think of any.

Great For The Price

This fork is simple, sturdy, and cheap. Great for projects and replacements. The weight's not bad either for a steel fork.

Sturdy
Long Steer Tube

The bosses and eyelets are correctly placed, and the blades are symmetrical. For a fork at this price, that's pretty much all you can ask. Although I haven't weighed it myself, it appears to be similar in weight to a Surly Cross fork. That's to say - heavy.

Pros: Low price

Cons: Lacks style
Heavy
