Hero Thunderbolt Fork

Compared to all those chunky carbon copies out there, the HERO Thunderbolt with its sleek lines and its machined + welded aesthetic screams American race muscle!

Our one piece 6061 aluminum steer tube/crown begins as a 3 pound/ 9″ long solid bar of aluminum that is 100% milled to size and spec. The legs are custom extruded and bent tubes, thin-wall and large diameter tubing for strength while saving weight. The coped joints are laser cut — meaning this entire fork is essentially machined with virtually zero gap between the welded elements. Our dramatically angled drop-out interface is also forward thinking for greater weld area and greater strength. The result will be a ride that’s as stiff as any carbon fork while delivering a smoother feel on the track.

A fork that rides this good needs to look even better so obviously we designed the Thunderbolt to look great with our Daylight frames but also to look great with any frame. To ensure the finish is as tough as the build, we have upgraded to the Prismatic Powders Super Durable line, offering a finish that is highly resistant to scratches and scuffs while providing superior UV protection to prevent fading. You can choose between the high-shine Obsidian Gloss Black or the stealthy Super Durable Matte Black, both of which feature a precision laser-etched Hero logo for a permanent, professional look that will never peel or wear away.
