What type of forks are these?
Hello all
Just a question I was hoping somebody could help with. I want to know if these forks are round, oval or aero. They look to me like they would be either aero or oval but I don't actually know what the difference is.

Thanks for your help!

That's a carbon fork, don't put a clamp-on brake on it. it's probably drilled for a brake anyways.
(I'm just assuming you wanted to know so you could put a keirin brake on it)

Yes it would be!
A carbon fork is not 'round', 'oval', or 'aero', those are classifications for steel forks, a carbon fork is made to whatever goofy shape the manufactures want.
