Triple Crown Fork
 

I'm in the process of buying a new bike. I'm looking at the Specialized
Enduro. It has a triple crown fork. I currently have a single crown? -
I have a cheap Trek. Anyway, I was watching WestCoast Freeriding and
they had this video with Ryan Leach doing amazing stuff. In once scene,
he was cruising down this single track, he pulled a wheelie with his
back wheel, whipped the tail 180 degrees and then started pedaling again
in the opposite direction (so basically an instant reverse of
direction). Can this be done with a triple crown fork? I noticed he
didn't have one...

Thx
Dave

If it has as a triple clamp fork, then it is an Enduro SL not an
Enduro. They are both "All Mountain" bikes, but the SL is
significantly lighter both in weight, and construction. The SL is not
a freeride bike, and the E150 Future Shock is quite possibly the
lightest duty triple clamp fork out there. The SL's fill the gap
between the "trail bike" (Stumpjumper) and the freeride/Super D SX/SX
Trail, by sliding closer to the Stupjumper end. On the other hand the
Enduro slides more towards the SX end of the scale.

You do not have a triple crown fork.

Doing that move has nothing to do with the crown of the fork and
everything to do with the skill of the rider. There are probably only
a few percent of riders out there with skills that exceed what their
bike is capable of.

IOW, don't worry about the lack of a triple crown fork holding your
riding skills hostage. ;-)

You can do anything if you put your mind to it!

Thanks for everyone's responses. This is my question. Has anyone in
this group ever done a 180 tail whip with a triple crown?

And what do you feel is the limitations of turning with a triple crown
besides bar spins?

This biggest limitation of a triple crown fork is that you
can't buy one.

I always preferred triple tree, to "double crown" or "triple clamp."
