S&M 26″ PITCHFORK WITH INTEGRATED RACE

Product Overview

The S&M 26″ Pitchfork is a 4130 chromoly fork designed for 26″ wheel dirt jump, trail, and street bikes. Built with a one-piece CNC-machined chromoly steerer tube featuring an integrated race and an extruded 6061 aluminum insert, this fork delivers strength and precision for riders running larger wheels. The 33mm offset and 395mm axle-to-crown height provide stable, predictable handling for jumping and technical riding.

Key Features

• 4130 chromoly legs – Full chromoly construction provides impact resistance and durability for hard landings and rough terrain
• One-piece CNC-machined steerer tube with integrated race – Machined from 4130 chromoly with a built-in bearing race for improved stiffness and precise headset fitment; extruded 6061 aluminum insert reinforces the steerer internally
• Laser-cut 3/8″ slot dropouts – Precision-cut dropouts accept 3/8″ (10mm) axles with horizontal slots for chain tensioning and wheel adjustment
• M24 x 1.5 compression thread – Standard threadless compression system with 6mm Allen slot for secure, rattle-free headset preload
• 33mm offset – Moderate offset balances responsive steering with stability at speed, ideal for dirt jumps, pump tracks, and street riding
• 395mm axle-to-crown height – Optimized for 26″ wheels to maintain proper geometry and handling characteristics

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

This fork fits frames with integrated or internal headsets compatible with M24 x 1.5 threaded compression systems and accepts 3/8″ (10mm) axles. The 172mm steerer tube length works with most 26″ dirt jump and trail frames but should be measured against your frame's head tube height and spacer requirements before purchase. Best suited for riders running 26″ wheels on dirt jump bikes, street setups, or trail rigs where chromoly strength and clean integrated-race design are priorities over ultra-light weight.
