Instead, the inverted fork uses a larger 20mm axle, which is most commonly used on DH bikes to achieve the required stiffness and support. But this lack of an arch also means there is no place to mount a fender. Also, due to the upper and lower flip-flop, the only place left to mount a fender was at the crown.
