NOTE: Carbon fiber bicycle forks and stems
come in many different shapes. The basic
parts common to most carbon forks and
handlebar stem systems are shown here.
Your fork appearance and shape may vary from
what is shown.
If you have any questions about your fork, ask
your Cannondale Dealer.
NOTE: DROPOUTS, STEERER, and
HANDLEBAR STEM can be made from carbon
fiber, metals or both in a “carbon fiber” fork.
