Featuring tapered, ovalized and butted legs with strong welds to ensure you’re going to get a fork that can handle anything you throw at it.

“Kink Stoic forks put the focus on strength first and foremost, while maintaining a great aesthetic and super modern geometry. Stoic forks come in two different offset options, 15mm or 20mm, for a quick and responsive feel. The custom formed tapered and ovalized fork legs create additional hub guard clearance, while providing a ton of stiffness. Internally butted tubing adds all the strength where it’s needed, while keeping everything at a reasonable weight, both in the fork legs and steerer tube. The investment cast fork leg ends feature clean debossed K-Brick logos in the back and a generous radius in the front for plenty of peg clearance.” – Kink BMX

How A BMX Fork Is Tested – Odyssey Stampy Fork Test

Have you ever wondered how a BMX fork is tested? Anyone who has been riding BMX long enough knows that Odyssey have upheld a reputation of having some amazing forks thanks to their quality and the 41-Thermal heat-treating process they use. This video above gives us a little look into the testing that they do to ensure they are producing the best forks that they can. The video gives you a brief look at how an Odyssey BMX fork is tested in a lab. This doesn’t necessarily apply to other BMX forks, but it’s how they get it done to ensure they are doing it right.

“As part of our mission to make the best BMX forks possible, we continue to refine the 41-Thermal® process at all stages of manufacturing. Each step in the process is held under strict scrutiny, and we continue to examine the strength and fatigue testing methods used to evaluate our designs.

STAMPY TEST GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND THE INDUSTRY STANDARD:
– Much higher load than industry standard EN tests
– Load is applied in the correct direction
– Proper mounting rig to replicate real world use
– Test doesn’t stop until the fork fails

In the previous round of Stampy fork tests we blew the industry standard EN tests for bicycle forks out of the water, and yet we still couldn’t break our own fork. In fact, we had to give up after running the fork for 2,000,000 cycles and with the machine operating at its ultimate limit.

So, in order to push the tests and our forks even harder we created an updated rig design that would let us supply much more force than the last time around. With this test we doubled up the cylinders that are applying the load and ramped the force up by 25%, going from 4000 Newtons to 5000 Newtons. That’s just over half a ton! (1124 lbf per cycle). Even so, at half a million cycles we started to wonder how long our forks were going to last, and since our competitor’s forks had already been taken to failure, we decided to ramp up the load on our forks to 6000 Newtons (1349 lbf), 50% higher than the previous tests, and after over 650,000 cycles, we were finally able to break them.

It is important to note that the 41-Thermal forks not only outperformed every other model that we tested by a huge margin, but that they did so while being lighter than most of the other forks too. This is direct evidence that proper design, engineering and manufacturing are much more important factors than simply always making the part heavier in hopes of making it stronger.

UNMATCHED AND LEGENDARY LIFETIME WARRANTY:
– Best in class replacement program
– Warranty against bending, cracking, and breaking
– No fine print to limit coverage to basic manufacturing defects

When you see how hard we push to make the best forks; to make them better and better every chance we get, it is easy to understand why our legendary lifetime warranty against bending and breaking is still around 20 years after we first introduced it. And when you see the contrast between our forks and our competitors you can also quickly see why most of their warranties have long since been quietly canceled or modified with complicated terms and conditions that usually limit the warranty to manufacturing defects alone.

Feel free to contact us at stampy@odysseybmx.com with any questions you may have.” – Odyssey

The Shadow Conspiracy – Inceptiv V2 Fork

Leave a Comment

Get a look at the Inceptiv V2 fork from The Shadow Conspiracy

Shadow Conspiracy Inceptiv BMX Fork

Is it time for a new BMX Fork? Have you given the Inceptiv Fork from The Shadow Conspiracy a look yet? The Inceptiv V2 fork is made from 100% post weld heat-treated 4130 chromoly tubing with a one-piece, 165mm long steerer tube with a built in crown race, oversized, butted and tapered legs with 6mm thick Investment Cast dropouts with a 26mm offset and a 6061-hard anodized alloy H24 compression cap. This fork comes with an anti-rust ED paint coating.

Here’s some details direct from The Shadow Conspiracy about the second version of the Inceptiv fork…

“We have revised the legs and steerer tube of the brutally strong Inceptiv Fork to push the strength and compatibility even further. We have increase the inner radius of the fork legs to give you more clearance for ever growing tire sizes. We have also shrunk the top cap size and revised the top cap threading in the steerer tube so that no matter where you ride your stem, the top cap threads will always be enclosed in the stem clamp area and not threading lower than the bottom of your stem. This stiffens up and increases the strength of the steer tube immensely!”

The Inceptiv V2 fork comes in Black and Chrome colors, weighs in at 36 oz. (2.25 lbs.) and can be picked up at BMX shops and mail-orders that carry The Shadow Conspiracy worldwide now, or direct from The Shadow Conspiracy Webstore for $149.99 (black) / $161.99 (chrome) now.

The Shadow Inceptiv Fork V2 is the revision of the already brutally strong Inceptiv Fork. A larger clearance for tires and revised top cap threading makes sure you can run a bigger tire and ride your Stem where you exactly want it. Check out the detail on these dropouts ?. The Inceptiv Fork V2 is available now in Black or Chrome at your local Shadow dealer! #theshadowconspiracy #bmx
