Dual Crown/DC Fork

Dual Crown/DC Fork: Dual crown forks have stanchion tubes that continue on through the lower fork crown at the bottom of the head tube to a second crown that sits at the top of the head tube. The second crown clamping onto a greater length of stanchion tube creates a much more rigid fork. Dual crown forks are often referd to as 'Tripple clamp' forks, this refers to the top crown (1 clamp), bottom crown (2nd clamp) and wheel axel (3rd clamp) Rock Shox Boxxers, Marzocchi Super T and 888's are all examples of Dual Crown or Tripple Clamp forks.
