REYNOLDS CARBON

Before releasing their initial fork for singles, Reynolds measured, tested and destroyed over 300 carbon forks—their own and their competitors. The resulting knowledge was used to create the Ouzo-Pro. Released into a crowded field the Reynolds Ouzo Pro quickly became the #1 seller. Two years and hundreds of additional tests later, Reynolds learned enough to write the next chapter—the Ouzo Pro Tandem.

ALL CARBON

While some fork builders are stuck in the past, gluing carbon pieces to a metal crown, modern all-carbon construction provides higher levels of strength, performance and safety. Patented fabrication techniques allow a beautiful tandem-strength fork that’s a full 14-ounces lighter than the ungainly Wound-Up / Co-Motion carbon tandem fork.

EVOLUTION SIZED

Like all Santana tandem forks, the new Reynolds Ouzo Pro Tandem features a 11/4” steerer. Now that road singles have finally evolved from 1” to 11/8”, can anyone still argue that 11/4” is too big for tandems? Benefits of the larger steerer tube include doubled fatigue resistance for greater safety (when a bicycle fork fatigues, its steerer can break without warning), doubled torsional stiffness for more accurate steering, longer headset life and increased frame integrity (does it make sense to attach a tandem’s larger top and down tubes to a single bike’s head tube?).

LARGER BLADES AND CROWN

For 28 years the largest demonstrable difference between a Santana fork and other tandem forks has been exceptional resistance to brake shudder—a destabilizing phenomenon that limits a captain’s control and lengthens a tandem’s stopping distance. The larger blades and crown of a Reynolds Ouzo Pro Tandem fork will provide teams with the confidence needed to enjoy a tandem’s higher speed—a secure feeling Santana owners have known for decades.
