2014 Salsa Firestarter Carbon Fork

[rushman3]

On Salsa's web site under the El Mariachi page, Salsa mentions the " Firestarter Carbon Fork".

Anyone seen this? Photo's/Spec's??

Is it a Foundry fork or different?

[hendricks97]

either that or a Whiskey

The Firestarter Carbon fork is our proprietary Salsa designed carbon fork, specifically for the Fargo (it also fits the El Mariachi), made from carbon fiber, with a fully reinforced insert for Anything Cage mounting on both legs, and a 15mmx100 Maxle dropout, at less than 800 grams.

Thank you. When will it be showing up in stores and what is the price?

What about the CroMoto Tapered 15mm off the 2014 El Mar SS? Will this be available aftermarket?

[chequamagon]

The Firestarter fork will be available for aftermarket around January 1 of this year and MSRP is $595 including Rockshox Maxle and compresion plug.

The Cromoto Tapered 15mm fork will be $209 MSRP including Sram Maxle, and will arrive around the beginning of December.

Thank you. I have to say, $595 is pretty steep for the fork! Was expecting around $400. 800g is not light! Guess I'll stick with my steel fork for a while.

So....will the Firestarter carbon fork easily fit a Knard on a rabbit hole? What is the clearance (in mm) between the fork legs?
