2010 is the 11 year anniversary of Odyssey’s 41 Thermal® process. When Odyssey introduced its 41 Thermal forks, they were met with skepticism. Typically parts companies stayed away from forks and left that up to the frame companies. Odyssey figured that when the “best” forks in the industry lasted their pro riders 2 weeks, it was time to address this problem.

That same pro rider went from replacing forks every two weeks, to once a year. That was just precautionary, usually the forks showed no signs of fatigue. After the rumors of these new forks surfaced, they became the standard for every pro rider, regardless of sponsor. It’s safe to say 41 Thermal forks revolutionized the way forks were built, designed, and heat treated.

We continue to refine and improve our forks every year and for 2010 41 Thermal forks are the lightest AND strongest we’ve ever made. Thanks to our commitment to using the best technology available, the strength and durability of our forks has been improved by a significant margin – while keeping the product’s overall weight to its absolute minimum. Manufactured at an all-new, precision dedicated facility since early 2007, the 41-Thermal process itself has also been refined to thoroughly maximize performance.
