CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing your new White Brothers fork. Our forks are designed to help you perform at your absolute peak.
Your new White Brothers fork has oil damping and is air sprung for light weight performance. The air spring and damper is
set stock to satisfy a wide range of rider weights and riding styles. Fine tuning can be easily accomplished by changing air
pressure in the air spring cartridge. See the adjustment and maintenance section for rider weight verses air pressures settings.
For very heavy or very light riders the external damper can be adjusted to give a wide range of compression and rebound
damping. Steering accuracy is improved over conventional MTB forks by utilizing superior materials and design. These
include oversized 32mm fork tubes, a torsion box design steering crown with pressed in tubes, a one piece billet brake arch
and extra thick drop-outs. The WB forks bootless design allows a considerable amount more slider/stanchion overlap than
competitor forks which increases the fork steering accuracy. Fork travel has been chosen to offer the best performance
possible for each fork’s intended use. To ensure peak performance, proper installation and periodic maintenance is required.
When riding on public land, please respect the rights of others and stay on established paths and trails. By riding responsibly,
you are helping ensure the future of our sport.
