Girder
The Perse Girder front end is a cutting edge design that has a unique look with unsurpassed quality and performance. For thos who say that "suspension is suspension" and a traditional telescoping front end performs the same as any other front end - we couldn't disagree more. During normal braking with a traditional telescoping front end the fork tube compresses linearly and gets shorter - this causes "nose dive." Unlike the telescoping front end the Girder leg does not change length during braking. Due to its design, it pulls the front wheel back slightly into the bike, this movement is minor but has a serious impact on the feel and handling of the bike. Not only does it push the front of the bike up to significantly reduce "nose dive" during braking it also works to increase wheel/ground contact over normal road imperfections. Couple the Girder design with radial braking and the rider enjoys the control and feel of a high performance race bike. Perse is synonymous with quality and the Girder front end is no exception.
