Columbus Futura Caliper SLX 1”1/4 Fork

The Caliper SLX combines the timeless charm of a caliper brake with the benefits of oversized tubing. Its name comes from the legendary Columbus tube set that raced with professional teams in the 1980s, often seen in yellow, pink, and rainbow jerseys.

Within the Futura fork range, SLX refers to the new models for 1-1/4” oversized steerer tubes. Following the 1-1/2” tapered and the classic SL 1-1/8” versions, this fork extends the range with an option that combines larger diameters with elegant lines suitable for metal-alloy frames.

The Caliper SLX also offers increased tire clearance up to 30mm (compared to 28mm in the previous model) and selectable rake options (45 or 50mm) to meet various cyclist and framebuilder geometry requirements.

Perfect for riders seeking a balance of performance, versatility, and classic style.
