CEMPA 3.0 FORK
£449.00
The Cempa 3.0 is our mk.3 version of the Cempa fork. We created the Cempa fork from scratch to be the perfect partner for our Secan frameset but you can also purchase the fork separately. The fork is designed for gravel/adventure with class leading tyre clearances.

The Cempa 3.0 fork uses the same mould that we created for the Cempa 2.0. However, we have made the following updates:
• New fork layup. We have increased forward and rearward displacement (compliance) by approximately 10%. We have reduced side-to-side displacement by 7%. That means the fork flexes more from front and rear loading but it is stiffer when side-loading. i.e. hard cornering on descents.
• The brake mount is now flat mount 160/180mm.
• The fork is now compatible with randonneur style racks. With the help of our vendors, we have designed a load-bearing aluminium insert which is bonded into the crown.
• Bottle/adventure cage mounts on the legs have been raised by 0.5mm to give a better surface for mounting cages and rack legs.
Fork specs:
• Axle to crown length of 398mm with 50mm offset.
• 1.5”-1.1/8” tapered carbon steerer tube. 330mm long.
• 100 x 12mm thru axle dropouts. Supplied with axle. Axle length is 130.5mm and thread pitch is M12x1.5.
• Dropouts have ‘proper’ rack mount eyelets on the rear so no bending of the mudguard stays needed.
• Front and rear M5 threaded mounts in the crown. Front for light mount and rando rack. Rear for mudguards.
• Fully sleeved internal routing for a dynamo wire. Designed around a 3.5mm SON co-axial wire, but also compatible with a 3x4mm Supernova wire.
• 3 x bottle/adventure cages mounts on each leg. All 3 mounting points are joined by a single CNC’d piece of aluminium that is bonded to the inside of each leg. This spreads the load evenly across the leg and provides great strength. Each leg is rated up to 3Kg.
• Rando rack compatible. Max load: 8Kg. Max combined load on fork: 10Kg.
• Tyre clearance: Same as frame.
• Weight: 495g with paint but without axle. 550g with paint, 8 x bolts and axle.
Fork is supplied with expanding bung for steerer tube.
Raw UD carbon – The fork is completely raw uni directional carbon. It comes out of the mould is given a clean and then a matte lacquer is applied to protect the fork. Our decal is placed on before the lacquer. Every fork is hand layered into the mould so the carbon always looks a little different on each fork but the aesthetic is one we really like and we are proud to show off the workmanship.
More details on the design and construction of the fork can be found in this PDF, from page 101 – 121.
