Description
Ikon Expert/Pro 20" 1-1/8" Carbon Fork
Product Overview
The Ikon Expert/Pro is a lightweight carbon fork engineered for 20" BMX frames with a full 1-1/8" threadless aluminum steer tube and 20mm thru-axle dropouts. Hand-laid Toray UD carbon construction and an integrated fork race deliver strength and precision optimized for modern BMX geometry.
Key Features
- Hand-Laid Toray UD Carbon – Directionally oriented carbon fiber maximizes strength-to-weight ratio; matte natural finish with unique non-uniform pattern that varies fork to fork
- 7075-T6 Aluminum Steer Tube – Full 1-1/8" threadless steer tube (7mm thickness) provides precise headtube fit and exceptional stiffness
- Integrated Fork Race – Built-in 45-degree bearing race eliminates need for separate fork race component
- CNC Machined Dropouts – 6061-T6 aluminum dropouts precision-cut for exact axle alignment and wheel centering
- 20mm Thru-Axle Compatible – Accepts 20mm thru-axles (114mm length suggested); optional 20mm-to-10mm/3/8" adapters available for alternative axle sizes
- Lightweight Construction – 533g (19.4 oz) without top cap; minimal rotational weight ideal for racing applications
- 31mm Offset – Geometry optimized for 20" BMX frames; provides responsive handling and predictable steering
- Professional Engineering – Contemporary design standards compatible with modern BMX wheel and frame specifications

Build Requirements & Compatibility
- Axle requirements – 20mm thru-axle (114mm length suggested); purchase separately (part no. EXHUPAXFBKBK)
- Adapter options – Optional 20mm-to-10mm or 20mm-to-3/8" adapters available (part no. IKFKADDOBKBK) if converting to alternative axle sizes
- Headset compatibility – Requires 1-1/8" threadless headset; verify your frame's headtube specification and bearing size
- Top cap – Top cap not included; purchase separately or verify inclusion with your frame's headset
Important Notes
- Hand-laid carbon construction produces unique non-uniform finish; appearance varies fork to fork due to directional fiber orientation
- Integrated fork race eliminates additional components; requires proper 45-degree bearing specification matching your headset
- 20mm axle length 114mm recommended; verify exact measurement before purchasing axle
- Carbon fiber construction requires careful handling to avoid impact damage; not designed for extreme abuse
- Lightweight design optimized for racing; handle with care during transportation and assembly
