This version of the Futura Fork gets its namesake from the famous Columbus SLX tube set which, in the 1980s, raced alongside hundreds of professional teams, who were often in yellow, pink and rainbow jerseys! Within the Futura fork range, "SLX" specifically refers to Columbus's models with 1 1/4" oversized steerer tubes.
Futura forks are the pinnacle of the Columbus Carbon Labs research and development. Taking advantage of the newest technologies and standards, the Futura Disc has been designed to meet the needs of the road disc riders.
If you are looking for a fork for a custom-built metal or alloy frame, the SLX 1/4" may be a good choice as it combines the benefits of larger diameters, but constrained proportions, which match with the more elegant lines and shapes which you often see on custom frames. Additionally, the SLX Disc also offers in an increased tyre clearance of 30mm plus the added option of mounting a light racing style mudguard for commuting and winter training.
