I'd use a serious carbon fork, but the problem is finding a reason for the higher cost.

45mm is the usual number, but it seems as much a reflex as anything else. Most head tubes are 73 but there are good reasons down to 68ish, and there are many different front end load conditions. So if one wants high end parts what other things might be in the mix to dictate an other than standard fork.
45mm is what we are looking at. This would allow it to cross over in XCross as well.

We will certainly include eyelets for fenders but I need to look at the practicality of bonding in an alloy insert for rack mounts. Face time with the engineers will be in order.
