Developing our first all-carbon fork in 1992, the team patented Alpha Q Carbon Rooting Technology CRT™ which integrates the steerer into the fork body using a rooting technique to provide continuous fiber throughout the fork for superb strength and incredible stiffness. This technology is used at the Alpha Q composite facility in El Cajon,California. Led by a team of carbon fiber specialists, competitive cyclists, triathletes and former aerospace engineers, Alpha Q continues to refine designs, materials, and manufacturing techniques creating the lightest, fastest components on earth.
