Wilde Wayfinder Straight Steerer 1 1/8" Gravel Carbon Fork

The Wilde Wayfinder Straight 1 1/8" Carbon Gravel Fork is Wilde’s premier offering for those seeking a lightweight, durable carbon fork ready for adventure. Designed as a versatile solution for gravel, exploration, and bikepacking, it combines low weight, high load capacity, and optimized vibration damping for long distances.

Intended as a direct upgrade for many existing bicycles, this straight 1 1/8" fork fits perfectly in frames with standard 1 1/8" head tubes, EC34/44 systems, or 44mm head tubes. It is an ideal choice for updating classic cyclocross or gravel bikes, providing lightness, functionality, and modern compatibility.

Uncompromising Lightness and Performance

With a claimed weight of just 470 grams with an uncut steerer tube, the Wilde Wayfinder is among the lightest fully-equipped gravel forks on the market. Its carbon construction has been engineered not only to reduce weight but also to enhance rider comfort.

The fork blades have been specifically developed to absorb terrain irregularities and filter vibrations, reducing fatigue on long rides. The result is a more comfortable and stable ride without compromising structural rigidity or durability.

Ready for Gravel, Adventure, and Bikepacking

The Wayfinder incorporates all the features necessary for modern adventure cycling:

• Three-pack mounts on each blade (6 lbs capacity per side)

• Flat Mount brake compatibility

• 12x100 mm thru-axle

• Internal routing for brake housing

• Internal routing for dynamo wiring

• Full fender mounts

• Fully threaded crown mount

• Compatibility with 140 mm or 160 mm rotors

• Platform rack compatibility up to 20 lbs

Thanks to its massive tire clearance, it accommodates tires up to 700c x 2.2" or 27.5" x 2.3", making it the perfect fork for aggressive gravel setups, technical bikepacking, or mixed routes on asphalt and trails.

Compatibility and Upgrading Classic Bikes

The Wilde Wayfinder Fork is an excellent option for modernizing bikes such as the All-City Space Horse, Surly Straggler, Surly Midnight Special, and other models with a straight 1 1/8" head tube. It allows for the addition of cargo mounts, thru-axle compatibility, and significant weight reduction compared to traditional steel forks.
