TRUST SHOUT FORK
£1,900 / 29in / upgradebikes.co.uk
What is it with suspension engineers and their overwhelming obsession with linkage forks? Maybe it’s the desire to make a statement and produce something radically different. Or it could be, as complex as a linkage fork is, the advantages of being able to manipulate the axle path and progression rate make the endeavour genuinely worthwhile.
Either way, it’s every suspension engineer’s dream. To make the Trust fork a reality, however, it actually took the merging of three great minds. Dave Weagle developed the suspension design, Jason Schiers, formerly of Enve Composites, transformed it into a carbon reality, while Hap Seliga, co-founder of Competitive Cyclist, was charged with delivering the goods.
On the table, the Trust
