futura caliper slx
The timeless appeal of rim brakes meets the performance of modern oversize standards. The Futura Caliper SLX takes its name from the legendary Columbus SLX tubing of the 1980s, which powered countless professional victories.
Engineered to meet the demands of master framebuilders, the fork introduces a 1-1/8” to 1-1/4” tapered steerer: a configuration that delivers the stiffness benefits of tapered diameters while keeping the slim, elegant proportions that suit metal frames. Available in 45 mm and 50 mm rake for precise geometry customisation.
