Radrunner rake / trail / fork dimensions?

Hi all,

I'm curious about the radrunner but don't have a Rad store near me to look at one in person. I've had a lot of bikes over the years and am a little nerdy about bike geometry and handling.

Can anyone measure the fork rake (offset) on their Radrunner and share the information here? I'd really appreciate it!

Also interested in hearing your opinions about how it handles.

For reference about fork offset / rake, see below -

The forks appeared to line up with the steering axis, so I would have said 2 cm.

My laser says they don't quite line up. It looks like 3 cm.

I once had an Earles fork where that was adjustable. On motorcycles, we called it trail.

Thanks, Handlebar! Really appreciate the response.

3cm sounds possible for sure. Is yours the original radrunner with 71* head angle or new "Radrunner 2" with 68* head tube? Wondering if it's the same fork on both...

Mine's the original. Measuring on a photo, the Radrunner 2 looks about the same.
