EASTON’S ULTIMATE carbon road fork. The EC90 with it’s unique aero blades features composite monocoque construction. This fork offers an incredible strength-to-weight ratio. Give your frame the ultimate performance gift.

Design Objective
Create an extremely light road fork with unmatched durability. Fine tune the construction to provide high stiffness, but offer a smooth, quiet ride.

Material Choice
We chose carbon because of it’s extremely high strength-to-weigh ratio and vibration damping characteristics.

The Technical Challenge
Most composite road forks are made from several different parts and bonded together. While this is cost effective, it does not optimize the weight and ride characteristics. Molding the fork as one part requires much more sophisticated manufacturing techniques, and perfect mold design.

What should you look for?
Balance. A fork with a blend of stiffness, strength and ride quality is best. Easton’s Carbon TaperWall Technology (CT2) allows us to make a lighter fork, that is far stronger than any other. It offers excellent ride characteristics.

The Starting Line
We studied our competition and bench marked their performance. Using customdesigned test machines, we measured the stiffness, strength and fatigue life of
competitive components.

The Finish Line
We succeeded in creating a balanced fork. We created the right combination of strength, stiffness and ride quality.

Rider Benefits
• Light weight
• A good balance of strength and comfort
• Aerodynamic styling
• Highest fatigue life of any fork we tested
• Highest strength of any fork we tested
