The CEC #400T Titanium Fork embodies excellence in ultra-distance gravel cycling. Crafted from Aerospace Grade 9 titanium (3Al/2.5V alloy) and featuring exclusive 3DTi technology, it combines optimal mechanical performance, exceptional comfort, and premium aesthetics. Designed for the most demanding cyclists, it transforms every ride into a refined riding experience, absorbing high-frequency vibrations (road buzz) while guaranteeing precision and rigidity during braking and cornering.

Technical Overview

The butt-welded construction combined with 3DTi technology significantly increases the overall mechanical characteristics of the fork. Frontal and lateral stiffness have been optimized to deliver immediate response to stress, while preserving titanium's legendary vibration comfort. At only 695 g on the scale (uncut steerer tube), it outperforms steel forks (≈ 1.2 kg) by 40% in density, while offering an elegant and high-performance alternative to carbon. Its hand-brushed finish and laser-engraved logo showcase the artisanal care given to each piece.

Technical Highlights

• Exceptional material: Aerospace Grade 9 titanium (Ti 3Al/2.5V), recognized for its exceptional strength, lightness, and natural ability to dissipate high-frequency vibrations — a major asset for long-distance comfort.
• 3DTi technology and butt-welded construction: This combination improves structural integrity and aesthetics while optimizing lateral stiffness for powerful braking and precise handling.
• Gravel and bikepacking versatility: Generous clearance 700c × 2.35" (60 mm) or 650b × 2.4", accommodating the largest tires to tackle varied terrain and challenging conditions.
• Multiple mounting points: 2 × 3 lateral inserts (max load 3 kg/side) for panniers, fenders, cargo cages, plus front light mount and internal routing for dynamo cable (crown or steerer tube exit, compatible with CINQ PLUG5 USB charger).
• Universal compatibility: Tapered steerer 1"1/8 - 1.5" (290 mm), thru-axle 12 × 100 mm, Flat Mount brake 140/160 mm, suitable for most modern gravel frames (Chiru Vagus, X-Root, etc.).
• Certified reliability: Compliant with ISO 4210-2:2015 standard (test method ISO 4210-6:2015), ensuring safety and durability for intensive use.

Geometry and Standards

• Axle-to-crown length: 400 mm, rake of 50 mm — stable and comfortable geometry, ideal for endurance and long adventures.
• Fork steerer: Tapered 1"1/8 - 1.5", length 290 mm, inner diameter 25 mm — modern standard for semi-integrated headset.
• Crown: Diameter 40 mm (requires slotted crown).
• Thru-axle: 100 × 12 mm (1.5 pitch) — maximum rigidity and simplified assembly/disassembly.
• Brake mount: Flat Mount, compatible with 140 or 160 mm discs according to preference and use.

Equipment and Included Accessories

The CEC #400T fork is delivered complete and ready to install: CEC 100 × 12 mm front axle, steerer tube expander with alloy top cap, cable port plug, and titanium T25 hardware (M5 × 10 mm). Every detail has been designed to facilitate installation and guarantee longevity and performance.

Usage and Recommendations

Intended for ultra-distance cyclists, bikepackers, and demanding gravel enthusiasts, the CEC #400T excels on broken roads, winding trails, and adventure routes. Its unmatched comfort, loading capacity (up to 6 kg in bikepacking distributed across lateral inserts), and robustness make it the ideal companion for bold expeditions. Maximum recommended rider weight: 100 kg. Compatible with dynamo lighting and USB charger via internal routing.
