Mountain Bike Forks - By: Gen Wright, 2009-10-25

Changing a mountain bicycle fork is an excellent method of upgrading your off-road bike. Today, forks typically come with suspension systems, to help with a bike's handling and maneuverability on rougher terrain. Mountain bicycle forks are classified according to the technology incorporated in them. Some bike forks include 4X and Jump suspension forks, Freeride / Mountain suspension forks, Freeride / downhill forks, XC suspension forks, and Cannondale Lefty's. Each type of suspension fork has its own advantages and drawbacks, and is developed for specific surfaces and uses. Heavy aspects of suspension forks include travel, which is the measurement for the movement of a suspension coil from action to rest.
