When it comes to bike suspension, mountain bike forks are the industry staple. First introduced in the early 1990’s, this style of fork has become a standard feature on most mountain bikes sold around the world today. In fact, these forks are such a common item that there has been a recent movement towards solid forks due to their retro-hipness.

For bikes that are designed as full suspension, mountain bike forks are used in conjunction with a rear spring for the back wheel. The combination of the two creates a bike that is able to absorb even the hardest shocks without the loss of steering control. There are a variety of rear-suspension systems that are used by different manufacturers, and some are designed better than others.

For front suspension, mountain bike forks are also available in a number of designs. A standard shock-absorbing fork is often enough for the casual trail rider. However, if you’re looking for something a bit more aggressive, there are much larger, heavier-duty versions available for many bikes.
