The Circus project actually began with the aim of giving slopestylers the decisive edge in competitions.

It didn’t take long for the Circus to evolve into the industry-leading dirt jump fork. Since then, it has been the benchmark for the tough demands of everyday dirt jumping and has regularly secured podium places at professional events for almost a decade
