That bike's weight is probably ridiculous.

Classic stem?

Yeah man, REALLY COOL! They look like old Tange fork's!!

look a little odd, but still bitchin'...price estimate?

nice fork, does it look bent or is that just me?

how much are they

yeah they do like bent aye. maybe its cause the dropouts dont stick out forwards like normal forks

look*

price estimate and can i run pegs with these without dying?

i'd say, bring out the multi-coloured stufff! that'll be bloody dardi man!!

will they come in red?

sorry guys, doesnt count with me with that, it can be much stronger, but the looking is so different from what we are used to.what stem is that?

Pretty damn cool.

how will you know if your forks are bent? ill stick with my race forks.

i wonder how long itll be before one kid tries to warranty a set of these right out of the box, thinking they are bent.

thats gross im very disapointed they look like flat land forks that are bent,,, although the hub is cool im guessing its some what like the gsport axle style

I cannot wait to get my hands on those forks. I'm finally going to replace my original 41thermal dirt forks I've had forever.

I'm stoked on the double-sided guard sprocket.

There better be info on more of the new parts tomorrow.

wow smart odyssey taken old bent 41 thermals choping the drop outs off cutting a slot in the tube for the axle, ah ingenious i wish i had thought of that think of the profits!!!

ummm jorden dont you read?? "- Hollow, integrated leg dropouts are stronger than traditional designs by a massive margin"

Should have called them Easy Riders. All of my friends and I are gonna rock these things and call ourselves The Wild Angels.

"We wanna be free! We wanna be free to do what we wanna do. We wanna be free to ride. We wanna be free to ride our machines without being hassled by The Man! ... And we wanna get loaded. And we wanna have a good time. And that's what we are gonna do. We are gonna have a good time... We are gonna have a party."

I'll be waiting for news on the sprocket and the front hub. They both look awesome... ;-)

how is the cable gonna get to the front brake?

no front barke. not for me then

The forks are not "pre-bent". They're welded in a straight path to the axle.

It's probably worth considering that maybe normal dropout forks are "dog shit" from an engineering standpoint.

They are still selling the new classic forks. It's not like they're forcing you to buy these.

i was thinking, why not make this forks completely straigh ( kind of like a flantland fork) and make the head tubes on frames less steeper. that wouldn't look so weird.

panchito,
if you wanted that to work, you'd have zero offset for steering and everything would feel very different because the axis of steering would be different.

you'd also have to get all frame manufacturers to change how they do things, which would be the hardest part.

They look pretty weird, are you all still making the older versions that look cleaner?

im sure these forks are the strongest, lightest forks in the world and all that,i wudnt buy these forks in a million years!they look bent,shitty and gay.I have some of your svetle dirt forks and they are good enuff for me,nice straight forks that dont look like there gonna fold upwards and hit your stem if you land hard on both wheels.Some of us dont ride a style similar to mr aitken.RANT OVER!

RELAX. The Classic Race, Dirt and Freestyle Forks are obviously still available, and you can see the 2007 specs further down the main page.

Why are you going on a "rant" over a product that you're not forced to use OR buy?

It's an option available for the people that want to use it. The advantages over traditional forks are substantial. If you're not into it, then stick with the Classic Forks. We make both styles for a reason.

I personally think that most people with a negative reaction will feel differently as time moves on and you finally see the Director Fork in person. The response at Interbike reinforces this.

I recon they look gash.
But then again it's well not about how it looks, more about how good the product is.
But i still wouldn't run these.

How we gonna line the bars up now, doh!

Use your headtube?

first of all:by ridebmx:"Odyssey Booth
Not quite a product, but the Odyssey booth deserves to be shown."?!?wtf?
i was wandering that this 'go liteeee' thing has gone a bit too far.imagine:odyssey vandero2 front hub, some super lite front rim and spokes and tire,odyssey's new fork, elementary stem, eastern titanium bars!how heavy is that(heavy?!) is that controllable?i don't really think so...
/I'll still buy one of these forks even though they're ugly, just do them in some normal color/

i want info on the new evolvers.

GOOD,,.. and UGLY,..

I don't see why kids are complaining. There is nothing ugly about this design. It's just unconventional. And not even as unconventional as the elementary.

Awsome! Ahead of the game as usual. Post More!!!Post More!!!!

why didnt you guys do that kind of sterrer/leg justion on the classic forks? or did you do it and it just looks different. and i wantto see you guys make a half elementary stem, but the bar clamp normal, i would be all over that

bringing it back!
reminds me of the forks i had on my mongoose california expert.

dont get a elementary stem then .. seriously thats the worst ideo ever... the wedge system would be basicly pointless..unless u want half a wegde.. u might as well get a ordinary stem .. odyssey knows exactly what there doing with their parts.. keep it up

2 questions:

On the pictures of the director's steerer, there's a slit all the way across between where the legs are welded, is that just something odd on the sample? it doesn't appear to be on the forks.

Will the director with brake bosses have a hole to run the brake cable through the steerer?

I think all the people saying they'll break will change their minds when they see Aaron Ross 3 down a big set of stairs haha

has anyone mentioned the k2 dmc forks that looked a lot like this?

im gonna drop a bomb on those forks.

shit

they look like old mongoose californian or blue max forks from the late 70,s and early 80,s. that is progressive thinking....odyssey throwing tradition out the window!!!

I like how everyone is calling them "bent." The steerer tube is straight and the legs are straight. It is just the angle at which they are welded that makes them appear to be "bent." Come on kiddies. Stop looking for shit to complain about you know you are going to rock them.

"They look like Mongoose Forks, K2 Forks, Tange Forks, Road Bike Forks, MTB Forks".

What it LOOKS LIKE is totally irrelevant. The Wombolt is just a Bullseye crank too, right? Wrong.

Take a moment to read the text and view the photos and you'll see that there's a massive difference in what was done here. The steerer tube junction and dropouts ARE original to this fork, not to mention that they're obviously being built using modern technology.

There is NO exaggeration when saying traditional construction methods have been thrown out the window.

Show me another fork with this steerer tube junction, and the integrated hollow dropouts. The essence of "constructing" a fork hinges on these two areas.

Every other fork (including old K2's, Mongoose, Tange, etc.) relies a conventional tube-to-tube steerer joint, and ordinary plate dropouts.

The "slit" at the base of the steerer tube is welded during manufacturing.

There will be an exit point for the cables on the brake mount version.

Chris/Odyssey

just when i thought you ran out of FLY ideas, here you come back with newest/hottest shit!

I guess you guys tested forming an offset integrated dropout in the same manner?

How come that style didn't work, or was it just the grind clearance?

Dennis McCoy was on this idea a while ago, it's nice someone else besides me saw the genious behind it.

Will the hollow drop outs mean I won't be able to trim them down to be flush with my Primo Jewel Nuts?

i want one! yeeeeouuwww

Remember when elementry stems came out and all the same people had shit to talk on them? now you cant go to a park without seeing at least one. Give it a few months this fork will be everywhere.

Holy effin poop! you reduced it over half a pound (and I'm not personally a weight weiney) AND you made it stronger than any traditional fork out there. I really have to hand it to you guys. You will continue to back me up when I always say to everyone at the park or trails "Odyssey parts all the way".

those forks are sick, odyssey is the sh!t and that bike is prob crazy light

damn, that thing is wierd

these are cool... everyone will be biting them off... like how there are wedge stems popping up all over. when are you bringing out the composite plastic chain, self buffing brake block, and the biodegradeable cornstarch sprocket?
