Mountain Bike Suspension Forks

Fork technology has come a long way. Modern suspension forks are stiffer, lighter, and more tuneable than anything that existed even five years ago, and the gap between budget options and top-tier forks has never been smaller. That said, picking the right fork still matters a lot -- the wrong travel, offset, or axle standard and you're either fighting your bike or running incompatible parts. We've been selling and riding forks for a long time, and we stock the full range from every brand worth buying.

How to Pick the Right Fork

The two biggest decisions are travel and brand. Travel determines what kind of riding the fork is built for. Axle standard, steerer diameter, and wheel size determine whether it actually fits your bike. If you want to get all of that sorted before you buy, this guide covers everything you need to know. We also broke down the full Fox fork lineup here and did a deep dive on RockShox Pike vs Lyrik vs Yari here if you want the specifics on either brand.

Fork Travel by Riding Style

  • XC and cross country (80-120mm): Light, efficient, built for climbing as much as descending. The RockShox SID, Judy, and Recon live here, along with the Fox 32 and 34 Step-Cast.
  • Trail (120-140mm): The most popular range for a reason. The RockShox Pike and Fox 34 are the two forks that basically define this category. Both are excellent.
  • Enduro (150-170mm): Stiff chassis, more travel, built to take a beating. The RockShox Lyrik, Fox 36, and Fox 38 are what serious enduro riders run. The 38 in particular has become the go-to for aggressive riding on big bikes.
  • Downhill (180-200mm): Dual crown forks for bike parks and gravity racing. The Fox 40 and RockShox Boxxer are the standard here.

Shop by Brand

We carry the complete lineup from RockShox and Fox, which between them cover the vast majority of what riders are actually buying. We also stock Marzocchi -- seriously underrated and worth a look if you want Fox-quality internals at a lower price point -- as well as Manitou and Ohlins for riders who want something different.

On a tighter budget? We put together a list of the best MTB forks under $500 that's worth reading before you buy. And once you've got your fork dialed, don't sleep on keeping it serviced -- check out our fork parts and service kits to keep it running like new. A fresh lower leg service makes a fork feel like a completely different product.
