Finally, a suspension fork with bottle mounts! The new MRP Baxter gravel suspension fork has 40 or 60mm of travel and comes with a pair of bottle or cargo mounts on each leg. Find all the details and more photos here…

The second generation of the MRP Baxter gravel suspension fork was designed from the ground up. Of particular note is that it’s the first suspension fork to come equipped with a pair of bottle (or cargo) mounts on each leg. I’ve been hoping someone would do this, although it would also be nice to see a mountain bike fork with mounts. According to the press information MRP sent over, each leg can carry up to 3 pounds (1.36kg). The fork is offered in both 40 and 60mm travel versions, which will be suited to “gravel” bikes but may work for some non-suspension-corrected mountain bikes too. Read on for the specs and details.
