The reason why we used an investment casted construction is to create a stronger, stiffer dropout and also to eliminate the need to weld a dropout onto the forkcap. This weld to normally subjected to a lot of stress. Besides this new feature, you don’t need to add a bearing runner to the crown. Like all wethepeople forks, you can just slide the integrated headset bearing onto the fork and you are ready to go. No annoying hammering and no stress when you want to change the bearings.

The Scorpio fork is made of fully heat threaded 4130 seamless crmo for the best strength you can get. The steertube is fully cnc machined and single butted. The fork legs are lightly tapered to save some extra weight. We also added a nice 7075-T6 topbolt.
