If anyone saw today's stage of Critérium du Dauphiné, the race winner was on a prototype Factor aero bike that Factor themselves said will be a gamechanger. Well feast your eyes on that fork.
3" tires anyone?

No, they are becoming track bikes
The Overton window is shifting
I cannot imagine ever being seen on a bike like that. Ridiculously ugly.
That looks like it would clear a fatbike tire!
It’s an aero thing with the fork l legs wide, not a tire clearance thing
Gravel bikes are becoming aero MTB/TT bikes
Well someone had to make a bike that matched the sperm helmets
Yes
“Can I fit 32’s in this frameset?”
Unpopular prediction: This will become normal and it will make our current fork profiles look dated
Have you seen the clearance above the tire and with the frame itself? It’ll be a couple of mm @30mm tire width.
I want this thing so bad. Finally some innovation
Now make the seatstay this wide and call it an innovation of gravel bike.
My first gravel bike was a GT grade that I had 32s on
I just put 30s on my TT bike.
🤷
I think it’s the technology and the availability to test tech that’s evolving
