R-turn Road Fork
R-turn Road Fork
The R-turn builds on the design of the award-winning U-turn fork, offering OPEN’s simpler, lighter, stiffer direct-mount design. No longer do you need any adaptors to mount a flatmount caliper to a fork. Full details can be found here.
Included in box: Fork, steerer expander, Carbon-Ti front thru axle
The OPEN U-Turn was the first fork truly optimized for flatmount brakes by deleting the standard adaptor to switch between 140mm and 160mm disc rotors (you should always use 160mm rotors anyway for added safety & control at almost no extra weight). The adaptor is a feature without a benefit at the expense of weight, stiffness and complexity.
The R-Turn uses the same Smartmount direct-mount design with thru-bolts without adaptors, just like the rear brake. Together with new shaping and a new layup optimized for road, the R-Turn is the lightest disc brake road fork available.
Note: For SRAM or Shimano, remove the adaptor and use bolts recommended for a 30mm “rear chainstay thickness”. For Campagnolo, use a “140 mm REAR" disc caliper with bolts “for 30-34 mm rear mount”.
