Not strictly a Montesa question, but I’m running a Showa 315 front end in my RTL so I can have some affordable front pads. I noticed when I washed the bike yesterday that the yoke / forks seem to be slightly raked compared to the frame header; i.e. not parallel. So I compared to my sons Scorpa 20 and my 2015 4RT which seems to have parellel forks to yokes. Which I assume mean parellel yokes / fork clamps.

Do later Montesa’s have parellel yokes / fork clamps?

If so does anyone know from what year 315?

jstbwondering if it’s a function of the frame header rather than the fork yokes.

many bikes have yoke offset of a couple degrees.

I'm sure I read that later 315 models had their rake steepened.

I might be wrong of course !

Been away for a few days. I thought so as well @rotors7 and my 4RT has steeper parellel to the headstock yokes. We can’t both be wrong. 

I suppose my question was “is it a feature of the headstock or the yokes”?
