Ethic Merrow Gabel V3 HIC Threadless roller villa ezüst 8/12 STD

Weighing just 255 grams, the Ethic Merrow Fork V3 HIC is CNC-machined from a single block of 6061-T6 aluminium to deliver uncompromising stiffness and razor-sharp handling. Its 10mm offset and 150mm steerer tube make it a precision instrument for street and park riders who demand responsive, predictable steering without excess weight.

Overview

Built around the Hidden Internal Compression (HIC) system, this threadless fork keeps your front end clean and secure. The one-piece construction eliminates weak points, while CNC machining ensures tight tolerances and a consistent finish. The silver anodised surface not only looks sharp but also resists wear from daily abuse. Designed for integrated headsets, it drops straight into compatible frames with no starnut required—simplifying setup and reducing parts.

• Wheel versatility: accepts up to 125mm diameter wheels with widths up to 30mm; spacers for 24mm and 30mm hubs are included.
• Integrated headset ready – the fork drops straight into frames designed for integrated headsets.
• No starnut required thanks to the HIC compression system, simplifying setup and reducing parts.
