    Wolf fork vs Easton EC 90 Sl

    I recently [march] got my crash replacement R3 SL delivered and was shocked that it came with a Easton fork... from what i understand they did this because of supply issues.  Cervelo claims the fork is stronger than the Wolf fork, but i dont get that feeling, the bike doesnt feel the same.   Has anybody had this issue?  Also has anyone tried the new Edge fork?!   I herd this is a great fork.

    I have an Easton EC90 SL on my SLT, and it works very well. I haven't compared it with Wolf, but the tech specs say it's lighter. I'm not sure if it's meant to be more aero or anything. 

    When you say it "doesn't feel the same", what characteristics do you notice? Stability? comfort? agility? Angle? Etc.

    Forget both of those.  Go with the 3T Funda Pro.  It is strong, light and aero!

    Feels spongy, more flex compared to the wolf.... i have a good friend thats a former pro and swears by the new Edge fork, he claims i will see a huge improvement over the easton, which he has tried and gets a lot of flex as well.   Edge is an interstign fork, its one mold i.e. drop outs, fork and steer tube are all one piece!  I think im going to give it a try.

    I have tried EC90, Wolf SL and now the 3T.

     

    1. The SL90 i slight and very comfortable. But not that stiff. 330 gr.

    2. The Wolf SL is much stiffer. Little heavier and not as comfortable. (Very uncomfortable for long rides on ruff asphalt.) 365 gr.

    3. The 3T is 10 grams heavier than SL but as stiff and almost as comfortable as the EC90. 374 gr.

     3T is the best !

    Has anyone compared these to the Alpha Q GS40's?
