The Curve Seek 500 is an uncompromising carbon rigid fork for demanding off-road adventures and bikepacking trips. With an axle-to-crown length of 500 mm, it replaces a 120 mm suspension fork without altering the geometry – ideal for modern hardtails and versatile builds.
Thanks to innovative VGM mounting points, the Seek 500 offers an exceptionally high payload capacity of up to 8 kg per side, setting new standards for durable carbon forks. This results in an incredible 16 kg total weight, allowing you to pack more flexibly for your adventures. Riders with smaller frames and less load capacity in the frame triangle can load their forks more heavily, thus experiencing a wider range of adventures. The adjustable offset (44/52 mm) also allows for individual customization of the ride characteristics – from stable and smooth to agile and direct.
With a 500 mm installation width, the suspension-optimized Seek 500 is designed as a replacement for a 120 mm suspension fork. It's an ideal match for the Curve UpRock and is also a solid choice for bikepacking adventures on your existing MTB. In terms of load-bearing capacity, the Seek 500 is the most powerful carbon fork on the market and has proven itself in demanding off-road adventures. Thanks to two offset options (44 or 52 mm) with a CNC-machined aluminum flip chip, the Seek 500 is compatible with a wide variety of MTB geometries.
Lightweight, robust, and extremely versatile, the Seek 500 is the perfect choice for anyone who refuses to compromise on long distances and rough terrain.
