What do Xtrig clamps do?
With ROCS, XTRIG created a new system for an even higher stability of the already top-quality triple clamps. Opposing clamps guarantee an even better functioning of the fork and are more stable than ever. Split clamps improve the bending line of the fork.
What is triple clamp offset?
The more offset at the triple clamps, the more the rider will feel the weight of the fork tubes when steering. Although there needs to be some offset at the clamps to give fork clearance for a full turning radius, the less the better to decrease the fork’s moment of inertia.
What are triple clamps on a dirt bike?
The triple clamp provides a very rigid and strong system to hold fork legs. It can found on downhill race bikes, freeride bikes, and some “enduro” bikes (Figure 1). The “triple clamp” name refers to clamping the fork legs at three points (Figure 2).
How does offset affect handling on a motorcycle?
Offset affects the trail of a motorcycle: the bigger the offset becomes, the smaller the trail gets. Inversely, if a bike has too little trail, decreasing the offset will compensate and bring the steering within more manageable limits.
What is a triple tree on a motorcycle?
The triple tree is the triangle like structure that connects the entire front end of a bike to the frame. Also known as a triple clamp or yoke, these set ups can be changes out for a different rake, or just to change the aesthetic of the bike.
Can you remove steering stem from lower triple?
Most stems are pressed up into the lower triple so you will need to support the lower and press down on the stem to remove. If the stem is steel it will take more force than if the stem is aluminum. You also need to try to protect them threads on the steam.

Can you put downhill forks on a hardtail?
you can always do downhill on a hardtail you dont have to pull the speed you normally would on a dh bike. but like another member said on the singletrack you glide away. and about frames breaking you dont really change the head angle that much with a 6 inch fork.
