Shock forks are essential for improving comfort, safety, and performance on variable and demanding terrains, and are often found on MTB bikes (in various disciplines) and gravel bikes.
The shock-absorbing forks are bike forks with suspension that allow for an effective shock absorption from roots, stones, or uneven terrain, improving comfort and control while riding. Additionally, they provide stability and directional precision, thanks to the fork's ability to follow the surface.
The travel of the shock-absorbing fork can vary from 50 to 190 mm: the larger this value, the more suitable it will be for a gravity discipline such as enduro or DH, which require technical use and excellent suspension.
