Forks have been made from steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, titanium, magnesium, and various combinations. For example, a fork may have carbon fiber blades with an aluminum crown, steerer tube, or fork ends. In rigid forks the material, shape, weight, and design of the forks can noticeably affect the feel and handling of the bicycle.
The development of forks with curves is attributed to George Singer. [8] In motorcycles with telescopic fork tubes, fork offset can be implemented by either an offset in the triple tree, adding a triple tree rake [9] (usually measured in degrees from 0) to the fork tubes as they mount into the triple tree, or a combination of the two.
