Why this product was flagged
Recorded hazard
The manufacturer has reported that harsh frontal impacts, e.g., impacting a deep pothole with significant force, may put extraordinary stress on headset components and may initiate a crack in the fork’s steerer tube. A damaged fork may break if continued to be used, posing fall and injury hazards. This is because, unlike a metal component, once a carbon component is overloaded it will not bend, it will break completely.
