Why do so many gravel bikes are labeled bikepacking bikes when almost all of them have a carbon fork? Fact is, carbon is weaker to side impacts, can catastrophically fail, delaminates, can't carry too much weight, must pay attention to not overtorque, UV damage and doesn't do too well against sharp blows. Plus, they are very weak to abrasion and everyone mounts handlebar bags
Can you even repair a carbon fork in a remote area? Why no one makes a sporty gravel bike but with a steel fork?
