The Shout is the second entry into Trust’s linkage fork lineup, a longer travel version of the Message fork that debuted back in 2018. Like its shorter sibling, it’s constructed almost entirely from carbon fiber, including the one-piece upper legs and steerer tube assembly.
The Shout is air-sprung, with 178mm of ‘contour travel’, and Trust says that the fork can replace a 160 – 180mm telescoping fork. Contour travel refers to the path the front wheel takes as the fork is compressed; with this design there’s a curved axle path, as opposed to the linear path of a telescoping fork.
The fact that there’s no brake arch to get in the way of a tire means that the Shout can work with both 27.5” and 29” wheels, but keep in mind that it has a 580mm axle to crown measurement, a number that’s typically seen on a 160mm 29” fork.
