Probably not, but the 496 is hardly short of strength in that area and I expect the 496Tri fork is just a 496Piste fork with a factory drilled hole 🙂
I doubt that they'd mould it with the hole, so most likely it really is just a form drill into the back of the crown. Isn't the 496 fork pretty much solid carbon?
