Review: New carbon Seido MGV fork by Bombtrack upgraded my gravel bike for bigger adventures. It can upgrade your bikepacking setup too...
, and the fork itself, they quickly realized there was an underserved market for riders looking to pack more adventure into their current gravel bikes.
First, the new full-carbon, 1.5″ tapered steerer Seido MGV fork gets big 29 x 2.25” or huge 27.5 x 2.5″ tire clearance with a 410mm axle-to-crown length, making it just a shade longer than most standard gravel forks these days. It’s close enough that it shouldn’t have too much of an impact on your geometry, although it might slacken your gravel bike out by 1/2 a degree, at most.
Geometry-wise, the longer fork slackened out my headtube 0.8° and raised my BB 6mm – just what I wanted to get a bit more ground clearance and more off-road-ability. It also shortened Reach by 8mm & raised Stack by 6mm, which were easy to compensate for with a 1cm longer stem and one spacer removed under it. The MGV’s extra offset limited impact to just 2mm extra Trail.
What’s obviously a big difference in the longer fork is the much increased front tire clearance. I’ve been happy sticking with the same 650x47mm tire setup that I’ve come to appreciate for riding longer distances on any surface.
