Looking for a reasonably light gravel fork to complete a build.
Wich fork brands/models are lightest ?
Budget always a factor.
Thanks for the help :beerchug:

What bike do you need to fit? I had on a couple of litespeed ti gravels a Chinese fork (Hylix) that was pretty light ~400gr cut. Never had an issue, ended up replacing it by a Open U-Turn unpainted fork that was sub 400gr before cutting it, maybe 370gr cut, can't remember exactly. Couldn't find anything lighter at the time. But it was not cheap, $600 in 2022, though it looked awesome, and likely more aero than the Hilix too

I don't have a picture on hand but from memory my unpainted Open U-turn fork was 390ish grams. I know it was sub 400. Also, no 160mm rotor adapter is needed with this fork saving a few grams on the build.
