Question about fork

[Glasgow44]

Hi there

I've made a few postings and this is another one! I'm thinking of buying my first road bike and have my heart set on this.

It says that the forks are made from hybrid composite overdrive steerer - is this the same or similar to carbon forks?

Yes, probably carbon with an aluminium steerer

Actually it doesn't say that, The forks are a composite: carbon forks with an ali steerer the overdrive refers to the headset arrangement.
