Fork blade options include plain, recessed dimples, through and through holes, or custom ‘tattooed’ engraving.
The complete front ends are supplied with upper and lower triple trees, steering stem, fork-stop, A-arms, legs, axle blocks with brake mount(s) for Brembo calipers, axle, integrated headlight, and a Penske shock. High strength 17-4 stainless steel is used for both the axle, and the steering stem and the left-hand threaded hidden axle is locked in place with a Perse ‘Pinch Lock’.
Further billet aluminum is used for the construction of the triple trees, A-arms and axle blocks, and there is a choice of 3/4in, 1in or 25mm axle fitting. The leg length of the billet aluminum Girder fork is calculated to allow 4in – 5in of wheel travel. Unlike conventional telescopic front ends, the Perse Girder fork’s leg does not change length during braking, which results in a reduction of brake dive under heavy braking.
ROOSTER Custom Cycles is continuing its re-introduction of the Perse line of components with the addition of the Girder front end.
