Carbon fork for disc brakes, with bolt-through axle

Does such a thing exist? I can't find anything.

I'm pretty sure the Kinesis ATR fork is carbon for disk brakes and I think Kinesis sell them separately.

I have a Kinesis carbon fork with disc brakes - site down though so can't link to it directly.

Whisky No 9 cross fork is thru axle iirc

Thinks...... am sure the new cotic disc brake bike has thru axle too.

EDIT: It does but it is steel.

Have you considered DT thru bolt hubs in place of a QR?

Thanks all. I like the Whisky one. Pricy though.

Interesting, that might be worth a look.

Give it a year or two, they will be everywhere as the new 'standard' for road-going discs. Complete overkill on a road bike mind imo. Lawyer tabs and a secure QR has never let me down in tens of thousands of km of mtb jolly japes and a road/cross fork doesn't need the rigidity the way a suspension fork does.

No bolt-through, but this fork looks good.

How do I know whether it is compatible with my Genesis Croix de Fer, and do I need any special tools to fit it?
