The new one from DT: 1250 grams for 100 millimeters

What is right for professionals like Nino Schurter, Florian Vogel and Nathalie Schneitter can now also be expensive for private individuals: DT Swiss is upgrading its XRC 100 Race cross-country suspension fork with additional carbon elements and launching it on the market in a limited edition.

For the XRC 100 Race Ltd, DT Swiss has developed a new crown and steerer unit made from high modulus carbon. Together with the likewise new disc-only carbon drop tube unit and the post mount dropouts made of magnesium, this enables an extremely light overall weight of the suspension fork. The fork is said to weigh just 1250 grams including the remote lockout. This makes it a whopping 130 grams lighter than the "normal" XTC 100 Race with aluminum crown and steerer tube. DT Swiss also promises that the limited edition fork also has a higher stiffness.

Honored by and for Nino Schurter
According to DT Swiss, the XRC 100 race Ltd had already passed the toughest laboratory and off-road tests before it was launched. The first of the exclusive forks went to Olympic medal winner Nino Schurter, while the other examples of the small series are to be delivered to bike stores over the course of the spring. DT Swiss has not announced a price for the exclusive piece, but the fork is likely to be a considerable budget item for ambitious bikers, collectors and weight freaks. Even with the standard version of the XRC 100 Race, a gram of fork costs more than a franc, and the price is likely to be even higher for the carbon version.
