toyota200x Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 SO my question is : What is the weight difference between a Pure fork and a Knifen fork.A buddy of mine has a like new knifen which I think is the regular model, not the knifen light. I am currently running a echo pure for on my Pure and I am ok with it. I orginally had a brisa vee brake for on the Pure and liked how it didn't have much rake. The Pure fork has made the bike feel longer and I am not really liking it but have gotten use to it. I have always loved the look of the Knifen on bikes and would like to own my buddies but I don't want to add a bunch of weight onto the bike. Chime in and let me know the weight differences please.Drew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 The knifen will be 1.3kg, and I think echos will be about 850-950g so you're looking at another 350-450g on the front of your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyota200x Posted October 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Does anyone else have any thoughts about swaping these forks. Is the weight worth the strength? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
