Product Description

Colnago's monocoque carbon design is the crowning gesture for any of Colnago's premier offerings such as the C50 HP and the CT2 HP. The steerer, crown, and legs are one unified piece of carbon, which makes the Star the lightest fork in the Colnago family.

Strengths:    Stability, works well with colnago frame.

Weaknesses:    Slight flex when hamering.

Bottom Line:   
I've used the 1" version of this product for over 4 years. This is an excelent execution of fairly light weight and very strong design. I would think that the 1 1/8" would be even better. I've done down hill >50 mph and the product is very stable. Hammering on the flats, there is a bit of flex.

From the meticulously constructed COLNAGO Carbonissimo frame & Star fork, the Deda Alanera carbon handlebars to the Campy Hyperon wheels to the Campy Record Gruppo w/Multidirectional Carbon crank this is the absolutely best constructed most ergonomic fitting bike I have ever sat on.

Strengths:    Looks, cache, stiff, smooth ride...... It's a Colnago nuff said... Did I say looks?

Weaknesses:    Weight.. A bit heavy compaired to Ozo Pro EC90 etc...

Bottom Line:   
I bought a 2004 C50 which came with the Star Fork. This is not the lightest folk you can buy but the ride is magic, stiff yet smooth. Going up hill the fork is flex free when climbing out of the saddle. Down hill at speeds over 40 mph you are on a rail no fear no flex
