The Shadow Conspiracy – Inceptiv V2 Fork

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

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

Sneak Peek: Titanium Fork From Mike Laird

1 Comment

Mike Laird is starting to prototype test some new Titanium forks…

So I’m prototyping a handful of titanium lairdforks. The regular Ti-lairdfork weighs 1lb. 4ozs. and the front brake version weighs 1lb. 5ozs. The off-set will be 30mm. The legs are 1.125” in diameter and .065” wall thickness. After testing the Ti-lairdfork will retail for $450 regular and $500 for the front brake version. I will NOT be offering custom fork off-sets, there just isn’t enough time in my day to make custom forks and frames. And I will NOT be offering chromoly forks, there are plenty of chromoly forks already on the market. I’m not interested in producing just another average chromoly fork. I will say if there is interest in a zero off-set flatland Ti-lairdfork, that could possibly become a reality. • www.lairdframe.com • www.lairdframe.store • #lairdframe #lairdfork #eccmetal #bmx #furickcup #spwceramicseries #millerwelds #weldporn #framebuilding #madeinusa #lairdframedotcom #mirraforever #titanium ? @willstricklinphotography

Here’s some interesting news for the riders out there that are looking to lighten things up on the front end and don’t mind paying a little extra for it. Mike Laird has been doing Titanium frames since 2016 that will set you back about $2,000, and based off his Instagram he’s done a few of them for customers. Now, it looks like he’s playing around with doing a Titanium fork that you can see in his Instagram post above. It looks like they will be available in regular and another version with front brake mounts, they weigh in at just a little over 1 pound and will cost $450 – $500. These will only come with a 30mm offset and he won’t be doing custom dimensions, so you’ll have to settle if you wanted something a little steeper or mellower.

There isn’t an option to buy these just yet on the Laird Frame website, but we would imagine it won’t be long before he starts making them available.

What do you think about a Titanium fork? Would you run it if you had the cash to spend on it? Anyone thinking about buying one? Let us know what you’re thinking in the comments below!
