Invert is the World’s First Gravel Fork.
Cane Creek Invert smoothes your ride and gives unbelievable bike control on rough roads, loose turns, and steep descents. It’s surprisingly lightweight, easy to use, and beautiful. Until now, no fork made for drop bars has combined the smooth ride, lightweight, simplicity, and good looks into one complete package.
Easy to Use – Intuitive Setup, Simple Operation
Invert is upside down relative to the layout of traditional suspension forks. This unconventional design allowed us to build the lightest gravel fork possible. The main body of the fork is made with a novel, hybrid carbon and aluminum structure that is noticeably lighter and far better looking than the alternative.
Invert SL tips the scales at less than one kilogram. That’s about 2 pounds.
Smooth and Controlled Ride – Boosts Confidence
Riding beyond the pavement can be rough, physically taxing, and unpredictable. Invert goes straight to the source of this problem to offer a smoother ride with more traction, both uphill and down. With Invert, you’ll be more efficient, more relaxed, and have the confidence to glide over gravel like you’ve never experienced before.
Rough, uneven, and shifting surfaces constantly try to bump, lift, and separate your tire from solid ground. This simple phenomenon causes most of our problems as cyclists: fatigue, discomfort, timid cornering and descending, and, in the worst cases, crashes! Invert helps tires maintain contact with the ground, offering more grip and control. This gives increased confidence to carry more momentum and ride more freely and relaxed than ever before.
Invert CS (Climb Switch, 40mm, 1113g): $1,199.99
Invert CS comes with 40mm of fork travel and a Climb Switch button that, when clicked, dramatically reduces the amount of fork movement required to pedal out of the saddle. The simple click of a pen inspires the Climb Switch button, which is as satisfying to click as the feature is to use.
Invert SL (No Climb Switch, 30mm, 990g): $1,099.99
Invert SL is a more minimal and lightweight option. It forgoes the Climb Switch mechanism to reduce weight and has less travel—30mm. This shorter option may also be preferable to some riders who want to lower their stance on the front of the bike.
