We are the essence and art of going faster. We are athletes and designers
who understand and share the need to go faster today than the day before.
We are endurance. Alpha Q understands that you must explore the endurance
threshold and expand its boundaries. We understand challenge and commitment;
we feel your desire to attack relentlessly. |

Starting with the first fork hand-crafted in a small San Leandro, California
studio in 1994, Alpha Q has quickly gained acceptance among racing elite
for ultra-light forks featuring patented Carbon Rooting Technology™.
This far reaching technological breakthrough allowed Alpha Q to create
the first all-carbon forks and the first fork to break the 300 gram threshold.
The rest is history. Alpha Q has continued pushing the performance envelope
with winning Aero fork designs, off road CX fork technology and speed
componentry designed to make you go faster than ever before. |
Alpha Q pioneered all-carbon forks and Carbon Rooting Technology
CRT™. Alpha Q craftsmen were interested in carbon fiber as
a component materialearly on in the development lab. Dismayed with
the weight and performance of forks on the market- and unwilling
to compromise by adding non-carbon materials to the fork structure-
Alpha Q was committed to pushing known materials and manufacturing
limitations.
Developing our first all-carbon fork in 1992, the team
patented Alpha Q Carbon Rooting Technology CRT™ which integrates
the steerer into the fork body using a rooting technique to provide
continuous fiber throughout the fork for superb strength and incredible
stiffness. This technology is used at the Alpha Q composite facility
in El Cajon,California. Led by a team of carbon fiber specialists,
competitive cyclists, triathletes and former aerospace engineers,
Alpha Q continues to refine designs, materials, and manufacturing
techniques creating the lightest, fastest components on earth.
