Off-the-peg goods is the often unjustly derogatory term for uniform mass-produced items. After all, there is little to be said against "good and cheap". Duotone has also taken this to heart and now offers an "OEM" carbon fork in addition to its own - high-priced - Platinum series.

OEM means nothing other than that the tried and tested carbon fork from a major manufacturer - who also produces almost identical models for other brands - is offered under its own brand label. In the three lengths, the bending line changes according to the area of use from "new school" to classic oval. The prices are significantly lower than the Platinum series. Nevertheless, you don't have to do without features such as the elaborate monocoque construction or double pins in the Vario system. An RDM adapter is integrated into the headstock. The short wave fork is a grippy 25 millimetres thin, while the longer models rely on even stiffer 29/30 mm bars.

Available lengths:

140 - 190 cm (599 euros); 175 - 225 cm (699 euros); 190 - 250 cm (849 euros).
