Forks for every bike

Rigid versus suspension forks

The fork influences comfort and steering characteristics. A rigid fork on a road bike provides direct steering response and efficient power transfer. A suspension fork on a mountain bike absorbs shocks with adjustable travel and damping. Carbon fibre forks are lightweight and dampen vibrations.

Travel and adjustments

Travel ranges from 60 mm for city bikes to 120 mm or more for mountain bikes. Longer travel absorbs larger impacts but adds weight. Suspension forks feature preload and damping adjustments tailored to rider weight and terrain.

Materials

Forks are available in aluminium, carbon fibre, and steel. Aluminium is sturdy and affordable. Carbon fibre is light and effectively dampens vibrations. Steel offers a compliant ride. The headset connects the fork to the frame.

Brake mounts and compatibility

When selecting a fork, pay attention to the steerer tube diameter to match the stem and headset. Brake mounts can be for rim brakes or disc brakes. Also check the axle standard for compatibility with your wheels.

A good fork combined with the right wheels and tyres determines comfort and handling characteristics. Maintain the fork with grease and technical sprays.
