Best mountain bike forks 2024 – the best front suspension for trail, XC, enduro and downhill

The best mountain bike forks will add speed and control to your riding. Here are our top picks for every mountain bike discipline

What you need to know about the best mountain bike forks

The best mountain bike forks are a vital piece of equipment as they smooth out the trail surface by absorbing impacts and imperfections and, in doing so, improve traction, speed and control over bumpy and gnarly terrain.

However, this wasn’t always the case. Early examples of the mountain bike were bereft of such comfort-providing contraptions and rigid frames were the order of the day. In fact, it wasn’t until the early 1990s that the suspension fork was introduced to both downhill and cross-country racing. While it radically altered the feel and performance of the bikes, these early examples were more of the one-size-fits-all variety and sported between 30-50mm of travel.

Nowadays, the best mountain bike forks are lighter than ever before, be infinitely tuned, have more suspension travel and improved feedback. Which fork is best for your particular setup depends largely on the type of riding/discipline you prefer so we have broken this guide up into cross-country , trail , enduro , and downhill .

When running air suspension, you'll also need one of the best shock pumps to maintain and set it up.

RockShox Pike Ultimate RC2

Our expert review:

Specifications

Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

RockShox's Pike fork has long been the benchmark of trail riding fork performance. The OG Pike was released in 2007 and was an instant hit - from there it has just got better and better.

The fork comes with RockShox's RC2 (or RCT3) damper and is enhanced by new SKF seals and Maxima Plush suspension fluid which keeps everything sliding smoothly together. This means the DebonAir negative spring works well to give excellent small -performance and boost cornering traction.

There's the option to experiment with compression as well as tuning the fork feel with volume spacers. That said we have had great results simply pumping them up to the recommended psi default set-up and hitting the trails.

Out on the trail the 35mm chassis is plenty stiff enough, offering steering precision and accuracy even if the trail starts to get verge on enduro territory. This doesn't come with a weight penalty either.

Read why we gave the RockShox Pike Ultimate RC2 a maximum five starts out of five.

Fox Float 34 Factory GRIP2

Designed for trail riders, the Fox Float 34 Factory now gets the brand's GRIP2 damper and EVOL air-spring packaged in a super lightweight chassis - 1,769g in 650b guise, which is incredibly light. 

As the name references, it gets 34mm stanchions complete with envy-inducing gold Kashima coatings, which are claimed to increases shock smoothness and sensitivity.

Despite its low weight, the Fox 34 is stiff, offering the suppleness and plush damping quality expected from Fox. With the addition of the 38 to Fox's range, it has allowed the brand to spread the available travel across different models, meaning each individual fork now comes in fewer options — the 650b Fox 43 now provides between 130mm and 140mm travel, while the 29er fork only comes in 140mm.

Cane Creek Helm Air MKII

Cane Creek revamped the veritable Helm Air Fork and what was already a fantastic fork has become even better. It retains the 35mm stanchions, tapered steerer and adjustable travel from 100-160mm, but the guts of the fork are all new.

Most notable is the tokenless air volume adjust, which allows riders to customize how progressive the fork is with the turn of a knob. The air-spring and dampers have also undergone a radical redesign. The new air piston has been re-engineered to reduce friction while also increasing overall air volume for improved traction and suppleness. 

The damper too has been updated with new compression and mid valve circuit for increased support and control via the high/low-speed compression and rebound adjustments. Also new are the low friction SKF seals and 2.5 weight oil for a more supple feel. 

Not to worry, among all the updates to the Helm, Cane Creek has retained the configurable air spring that allows riders to add or remove air from the positive and negative air chambers independent of one another. 

The Helm also benefits from a unique axle system called D-LOC. Apart from keeping the wheel in place, the D-LOC axle thwarts rotational and torsional loads to the upper bushings during cornering and high-speed compression.

For more details, read our Cane Creek HELM Air fork review.

RockShox Yari RC

While the RockShox Yari shares its DNA with the Lyrik, including its chassis, travel options, offsets and 35mm stanchion structure, it differs by way of its damper system — Motion Control vs the Lyrik’s Charger 2.1 RC2 damper.

Sure, this means it is a little less refined in terms of performance and damping plushness but the Yari is a reliable and robust performer designed to be ridden hard thanks to the stiff chassis and ease with which it can be set up.

If you’re looking for a big-hitting, affordable fork with the pedigree to match it’s hard to find anything as reliable as the Yari.

Best mountain bike forks for enduro

RockShox Lyrik Ultimate

Bold and expressive, the RockShox Lyrik RC2 was updated - both visually and internally - to better cope with the rigors of enduro racing. As such, the Lyrik gains a fresh lick of red paint which contrasts the black uppers quite superbly - however, it's under the skin where the biggest updates have been implemented.

The air spring shaft is now hollowed out, which RockShox claim boasts 42 per cent more negative spring volume than before resulting in better small-bump sensitivity and coil-spring-like linearity. 

The updated Charger 2 RC2 damper has eschewed the three-position lever (this means no lockout) of its forebear in favor of a high-speed, five-click adjuster that is claimed to be more tuneable and responsive to trail nuances.

Find out how the RockShox Lyrik Ultimate fared on test.

Fox 38 Factory GRIP2

Unless you are racing EWS, riding massive lines at the bike park or you just hit terrain particularly hard, Fox’s 38 platform is probably going to be a bit overkill. However, if you looking for the best mountain bike fork for enduro they don't come more capable than the 38 Factory fork.

With travel options of either 160mm, 170mm or 180mm, the stiffer structure, and superbly supple internals all work together to produce a superlative experience on the toughest trails. 

It's not just a sized-up exterior either, the internals are new, too. That means the fork is better when it comes to control, consistency, sensitivity and response but still super supportive than its thinner-legged comrade, the 36. Despite being noticeably stiffer structurally when smashing through trail furniture, it’s actually more comfortable, too.

We've got more details in our full review of the Fox 38 Factory GRIP2 fork .

Marzocchi Bomber Z2 RAIL Gen 2

Marzocchi have based the second generation Bomber Z2 around the entry-level Rhythm version of the Fox 34. That includes the thicker walled 6066 stanchions, seals, other internal components, and Float air spring. That means you can use the same clip-in volume spacers (it comes with none fitted but has four in the box) and switchable air shafts to change travel from 100 to 150mm in 10mm increments. As you can’t even buy a Fox 34 Rhythm aftermarket, the Z2 fills that gap and also costs significantly less than the cheapest 34. 

If you’re looking to upgrade the existing fork on a mid-price bike or looking at building a machine for going properly hard on without emptying your wallet or worrying about complicated setup and servicing, then the Z2 is an excellent option. A bit of tuning time definitely pays dividends to get it really snapping on the heels of forks twice its price, but even running the stock setup it’s a great option that's well worthy of consideration.

Best mountain bike forks for cross-country

RockShox SID Ultimate SL

The RockShox SID Ultimate sits at the very top of the company’s cross-country range of suspension forks. SL denotes that this is the lightest of the SID line-up, focused on covering miles and scaling gradients with ease.

RockShox has done a superb job of dropping weight while improving suspension feel and keeping accuracy competitive for the category. It can take a few rides to soften everything up but once you’ve banked some ride time it’s extremely plush and sensitive too, boosting traction and reducing fatigue on rough terrain - although more aggressive riders will want to add spacers to the linear stroke. 

We think they look great, too, plus the space for high-volume tires, competitive pricing, and lots of attention to detail means the SID Ultimate SL is our new benchmark XC race fork, especially when paired with a Torque Cap hub/wheel.

For information on how it performed, read our review of the RockShox SID SL Ultimate fork .

Fox Float 32 Factory Step-Cast

If it’s a high-performance, lightweight cross-country suspension fork that you’re after, there aren’t many options that can beat the Fox Float 32 Factory Step-Cast. 

Compared to many of its Boost-equipped rivals, the Fox 32 is appreciably narrower when measured from leg to leg thanks to a stepped cut-out at the drop-outs. This nifty feature has not only improved lateral stiffness but considerably reduced its weight over its rivals, too.

Fox has redesigned the crown and claims improved stiffness of 20 percent, something that if true will have made the 32 as stiff as the current 34 fork, its bigger, trail-focussed cousin.

We've got the full review of the Fox 32 SC Factory fork if you want to know more.

Best mountain bike forks for downhill

Fox Float 40 Factory

Fox’s venerable Float 40 Factory fork needs no introduction having experienced prodigious downhill mountain bike success at World Cup level over the past several years. 

Built around 40mm stanchions and featuring a whopping 203mm of travel, the fork is naturally very stiff and responsive, if anything, a touch on the heavy side despite weight-saving measures around the crown and lowers.

The large volume of the air chamber means the 40 has a linear stroke, tuneable by way of volume tokens which deliver a compression stroke as plush as any of Fox’s Factory Kashima-coated forks. 

Further adjustably can be made by fiddling with the four-way GRIP2 damper that independently adjusts high- and low-speed compression and rebound.

RockShox Boxxer Ultimate

As far as heavy-hitting downhill suspension forks go, the RockShox Boxxer has been a favorite in the pro rungs for years now. The latest version, the Boxxer Ultimate, has received several tweaks including updated seals and oil, and a Charger 2.1 damper system claimed to make it run smoother than before.

Furthermore, this new damper system allows the fork to stay higher in the travel, compress more linearly (like a coil spring) and rebound with more control for better landings.

A big difference between the Boxxer and its rivals has always been the 35mm stanchion tubing, which is notably slimmer than its 40mm rivals. While this does add some torsional twist, the Boxxer never feels unsettled - instead, it provides pliancy and confidence in spades.

How do I choose a fork for my mountain bike?

Owing to the fact that the sport now spans myriad disciplines - cross-country , trail /all-mountain, enduro and downhill - the best mountain bike suspension forks have become more specialized in application and function. As a result, each mountain bike discipline places a very different set of demands on the bike and rider so the modern suspension fork varies in terms of travel, spring systems and stanchion thickness. Simply by looking, its possible to see a dramatic difference between the best XC forks and downhill forks.

There are a couple of specific things you should consider before choosing the best mountain bike fork. Firstly is how much travel your bike is designed to be used with, this is important as a fork that is too long or short will upset a bike geometry . Secondly the type of riding you are planning on doing, for example there are a number of forks that cross over around the 160mm mark, some are more trail orientated while others are enduro focussed. Opting for a stronger and heavier enduro fork rather than a trail fork is going to make a noticeable difference to how your bike rides.

The modern mountain bike suspension fork is a complicated piece of kit and naturally comprises many moving parts. It’s worth familiarizing yourself with the fork’s anatomy and the various terms associated with it before making your choice.

How much suspension fork travel do I need?

Modern mountain bike geometries are specifically designed around suspension travel. For example, cross-country mountain bikes feature short-travel forks as the trails are relatively smooth and comprise lots of climbing, so they need to be light and responsive while still providing a decent range of compression. As you move through the various types of mountain biking, the weight, stanchion thickness and travel all increase so as to meet the demanding needs of each discipline.

• Cross-country: 100-120mm travel, 30-32mm stanchion diameter
• Trail: 120-150mm travel, 34mm stanchion diameter
• Enduro: 150-180mm travel, 35-38mm stanchion diameter
• Downhill: 180-200mm travel, 40mm stanchion diameter

The diameter of the stanchion tubes directly affects the fork’s lateral stiffness. The secret here is finding a balance between weight and performance, as wider stanchions are stiffer and heavier than their narrower counterparts but are more resilient to greater impacts from rough terrain and jump landings.

What size axles do mountain bike forks have?

Thru-axles are wider, stronger and stiffer than the old quick-release skewer systems of yesteryear and have been the gold standard on most high-end performance mountain bikes for some time now. The 20mm standard is generally reserved for downhill and enduro while the 15mm thru-axle is found on just about all trail and cross-country bikes.

Until Boost hub spacing came along, the standard for thru-axles was 100mm spacing in the front (110mm for downhill bikes) and 135mm/142mm spacing in the rear. The wider hub and flange spacing offered by Boost has increased the stiffness of 29-inch and 650b wheels even further with the new standards coming in at 110mm (front) and 148mm (rear). 

What type of steerer should I get?

There are two steerer types - straight and tapered. A standard steerer tube is straight with a 1-1/8-inch diameter although this size is becoming increasingly uncommon. Most modern forks come standard with tapered steerers as they’re stiffer, lighter and provide a better feel and response than a regular straight steerer.

What are volume tokens/spacers?

Volume spacers or tokens allow you to fine-tune the air volume of your fork. Adding tokens reduces the volume of the air chamber causing the air pressure to ramp up quickly so the spring pressure can be set low, allowing more suspension sag without the risk of bottoming out. Removing tokens will provide the reverse effect.

Is coil or air suspension better?

There are two different spring systems: air and coil springs. Air springs have become the staple choice on modern suspension forks as they are tuneable and have a progressive compression rate — the feel is softer in the first part of the travel and then gets stiffer as more compression is applied. Coil springs on the other hand are found predominantly on downhill bikes. Linear in feel, they provide consistent impact absorption over the range of spring travel. Coil generally has a much smoother compression action too as they have less seal friction.

Getting a longer travel fork (140->160) and setting sag higher?

• Add to quote
• i always assumed that the front end would just sit 20mm higher but not sure that is true. Pre load being = % across forks
• How does sag factor into this and could I just set my sag at a higher % to bring the front end down? Would this make the bike too squishy or could it be compensated with compression.
• I know there has been quite a bit of debate on yea the 20mm will change the geometry and make it horrible TO 20mm won’t matter at all
• At the end of the day we’re talking about .8” so I’m inclined to go for it and set my sag a little more. 😳

I am not particularly familiar with that bike, but wow what a bunch of naysayers! Plus 20mm is nothing, people do it all the time. You may or may not prefer it, but doesn’t hurt to try. You’ll end up with: -slightly higher bars -slightly slacker head and seat tube angles -slightly shorter reach -slightly higher bottom bracket -slightly longer “effective top tube” any or all of these changes could be good or bad for you. I will say—- plenty of people overfork, while nobody underforks.  

I’m not naysaying overforking. I’m naysaying overforking AND messing with sag to make a bike not feel overforked.  

Do not change the sag to adjust the geo on a taller fork. That will still change the geo. Get a 140mm or 150mm air rod instead of doing dumb sag games which will make your bike feel like crap. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

20mm extra probably isn't the end of the world. I would just tune it in on its own, don't try to change sag just to try to match 140mm geometry. Set air pressure based on how the fork feels and if it's feels too slack and numb, then go for a shorter air spring.  

What people are naysaying is that he is asking about using sag to offset a 20mm travel change. Which is, objectively, a horrible idea. No one really nay sayed the idea of bumping the fork from 140 to 160. Not that it's a terribly great idea either.  

As a rule of thumb, 20mm increase of axle-to-crown change will: slacken the HTA 1° raise the stack about 6-7mm shorten the reach 3-4mm raise the bottom bracket 5mm slacken the seat tube 0.5° Whether those are good or bad things are up to you. For me, the primary question is why you want 160mm of fork strapped to a bike with 130 rear travel.  

Bassmantweed said: I have a stumpjumper expert that comes with a fox 34 @ 140mm. I am thinking about Going to a fox 36 @ 160mm. I realize this would potentially change the geometry but unsure how much really if I adjust sag. i always assumed that the front end would just sit 20mm higher but not sure that is true. Pre load being = % across forks How does sag factor into this and could I just set my sag at a higher % to bring the front end down?

evernorth said: The spring is setup to support your weight. Sag in percentage doesn't matter much. Ist about having the correct springrate. Click to expand...

you cant adjust sag to change the travel, it won't perform correctly, running at the correct sag for your weight will still feel better than a geo change  

Didn't someone else just post almost the exact same thing from 160 to 170mm? 140 to 160 is probably not going to instantly make everything horrible. People go up 100 to 120 all the time, percentage-wise that's more of a change and I don't ever hear them complaining. Maybe the turn-in will be a tiny bit slower, the climbing a little worse. Relatively straight descents better. Worst-case scenario you add a token or two and lower it back down a little. Supposedly Fox 36 can go from 100-160mm so just go for it at 160 and see if you like it or not.  

Easiest way to feel it IME is on steep climbs. Steeper the better, needed not be technical. If the bike steers up like a wet noodle and won’t hold a line, you overforked it. If just barely, can try reducing stack, lower stem, flatter bars, etc. may or may not help. Issue might be caused by the bb drop. might climb the same. Would be great then! Just my opinion.  

I had a 16' trek remedy and went from 140 to 160. Bike rode fine and I didn't notice any real difference. Slightly so on steep climbs but not worth changing the air spring. Give it a try and then change the air spring if you want later on.

The best 160 mm MTB fork you can buy

A mighty battle is raging. Podiums around the world are being painted orange or red, the two biggest suspension companies are going toe to toe. Forums are filled with polarising chatter and new challengers want to turn the world upside down. It was time for us to test the 8 best 160 mm suspension forks on the market.

“This is it, suspension cannot get any better!” How many times have we heard that? But each new year suspension evolves again. New technology and innovative dampers take things to a new level. Unlike the traditional ‘emperor’s new clothes’ message of the bike industry, suspension forks have nowhere to hide, they are right on the front line. Poor performance results in poor handling, only greatness leads to victory. In this group test, we have all the biggest hitters of suspension, but we also have some wildcards too, and we all know that the underdog sometimes has big teeth.

What makes a good suspension fork?

A suspension fork has three main duties. One; the spring needs to protect the rider from violent hits when you roll foolishly into a crazy line, while being sensitive enough to absorb the small bumps. Two; the damper needs to control the spring, absorbing forces and maintaining grip. Three: the fork needs a stiff chassis for carving hard lines while under pressure. To achieve these duties, a suspension fork has two main components inside, a spring and damper. The spring absorbs the initial impact, storing the energy. The damper controls the speed of the spring, forcing oil through small ports it turns the kinetic energy of the spring into heat. The best dampers will provide support and stability on steep terrain, staying high in their travel under hard braking and rider weight shifts, offering up full travel only when needed. Highly tunable, a fork should allow you to tailor the fork’s performance to your riding style and home trails without needing a PhD in suspension kinematics.

Is this the year of the underdog?

160 mm forks have to do it all: they need to be powerful enough to send huge bike park jumps, reliable enough for long days in the mountains and light enough to destroy STRAVA times on home trails and win EWS races. In the group test, we had all the big hitters and also some plucky wildcards. On the podiums, this year has been the battle of orange vs. red, the FOX 36 FLOAT Factory GRIP2 vs. the RockShox Lyrik RC2 , that was a face-off we needed to have. But joining them were some fierce new players to the market, the Cane Creek HELM Air and Formula Selva both boast incredible tunability, would they upset the natural order? We had underdogs too, the Öhlins RXF 36 Coil brings some heavy metal to the party, boasting super smooth damping, and the Intend Edge intends to turn the suspension market upside down. We’re not all made of money so the inclusion of the RockShox Yari RC and Marzocchi Bomber Z1 claim to offer more for less. Other brands were invited, some could not supply forks in time, while others were unprepared to go directly against the forks in this test.

How we tested

Fact: suspension forks are better than ever, even affordable forks now offer levels of damping that outshine the best forks of just a few years ago. With performance margins closing, the only way to separate the forks is with extensive shuttled back to back testing. We used testers with weights between 75 – 95 kg, and all testers used the same wheel size (29”) and tyre combo (MAXXIS Minion DHR II / Minion DHF). Each tester used identical tyre pressures, and bar height was corrected from fork to fork using spacers to ensure there were no changes to contact points. Forks were first tested using the manufacturers recommended settings then optimised to test rider preference. We scored not only the damping quality, but also each and every dial, control, and quick release. Reviewing was only carried out after extensive setup runs to dial in the optimum rebound and compression settings. Trails were chosen to involve big square-edged hits, high-speed G-outs, and fast chatter – really tough EWS level trails.

The laws of suspension – Setup Is Everything

There are no longer good and bad forks, only good and great forks. Now, more than ever, the correct setup is key. You can take the incredible RockShox Lyrik RC2 and if you set it up badly, it will perform worse than a well set up RockShox Yari RC. Unlike rear shocks, where frame engineers can use the rear suspension kinematics to control the forces acting on the shock, suspension forks all encounter the same leverage ratio, 1:1. Different riders with different riding styles may want different responses from their suspension fork, some desire buttery smooth small bump compliance, some want huge support for big jumps and high speeds, some just want an easy to ride setup. Manufacturers now have to balance the needs of those who want a good setup from the box, with those who love tinkering and agonise over one click of compression damping. Tuning focussed brands like Cane Creek, Formula and FOX allow almost every aspect of the suspension performance to be modified to suit the rider’s preferences, while Marzocchi, Ohlins and RockShox try to keep setup simple.

Turning Suspension Upside down

We have been waiting for a good upside-down suspension fork for years, just look at the ultimate expression of performance, motocross and superbikes, once motorbikes went upside-down they never looked back. So why don’t we have an inverted fork? The Intend Edge is perhaps one vision of that future. Inverted forks make a lot of sense, especially when you consider strength and stiffness. As you hammer down the trail, the highest fore-aft stress your forks encounter is under the crown where the leverage is highest. On a standard fork, this is where the thinnest stanchions are bonded into the crown. On an upside fork, this point can be substantially thicker, resulting in more fore-aft stiffness. However, having no brace does mean that upside down forks have always been plagued with increased lateral flex.

#Offsetgate

Offset was the talk of the last few months, it’s amazing how many heated discussions could stem from a few millimeters of fork offset. The concept is simple, the shorter the fork offset, the longer the trail (the distance between where the wheel contacts the ground and the steering axis, found by drawing a line down the fork to the ground). A longer trail stabilizes the steering. Traditionally, manufacturers gave 29ers longer offsets to produce shorter trails for faster steering, but that thinking is changing now we are riding in harder terrain. Many brands are now offering multiple offsets per wheel size, such as the RockShox Lyrik RC2 that offers both 51 and 42 mm offsets in 29” (46 and 37 mm in 27.5”). After extensive back to back testing with both offsets we are happy to announce the following – the difference is almost imperceptible. Our testers slightly prefered the shorter offset (and thus shorter wheelbase) in tight switchbacks, favouring the longer offset (longer wheelbase) on high speed, open trails, but the difference is too marginal to be conclusive.

No more band-aid fixes

Nearly all the forks in this group test have some system to reduce the volume of the positive air spring to increase progressivity, some use plastic tokens, some use movable seal heads, the Formula Selva even uses foam cylinders. The use of tokens has been increasingly promoted over the last few years with many active riders adding two, three or even four tokens. However, decreasing the volume of an air spring is never the best solution, more a band-aid fix. During testing, we found that we now require less volume reduction in the air spring, the forks are offering more support in the middle to the end of the stroke. Much of this is due to larger negative springs and lower friction internals helping retain small bump compliance while still allowing sufficient air pressure to support the rider during bigger hits.

The need for servicing

Let’s face it, nobody likes spending money on servicing, instead, we would love to spend all our expendable cash on shiny new bike kit. However, you would not buy a Ferrari 488 and never change the oil. If you want to get the best from your bike, it’s important to keep it in good condition. The internet is full of great how-to videos and tutorial so learn how to do a basic lower service, don’t think of it as a service, think of it as a treat for you and your bike. Making a regular lubricant change will not only boost your mechanical kung-fu but also leave you with silky smooth forks.

With damper performances growing closer, proper setup is now more important than ever. Every single fork in this test has the potential to be the best or the worst performer depending on proper, or improper setup. Tuners and those with skill will love the Cane Creek HELM Air and Formula Selva , both can be highly optimised to rider tastes and offer a superb ride but do need more time to dial in. For those on a budget, who want to simply hit the trails, both the Marzocchi Bomber Z1 and RockShox Yari RC are effortless to set up and offer great bang for your buck, only the more refined GRIP damper of the Marzocchi Bomber Z1 nudges it ahead to take the Best Value award. We wanted to love the Intend Edge as in many ways it’s revolutionary, but we did have some concerns. For the overall victor, two forks stood a class apart from the rest, the RockShox Lyrik RC2 and FOX 36 FLOAT FACTORY GRIP2 both have sublime dampers, calm under fire, even in the hardest terrain they felt like they were hardly breaking a sweat – we found we could ride faster and in more control. Even after weeks of meticulous Vs. testing, performance remains inseparably good, but the RockShox Lyrik RC2 is nearly €300 less which is impossible to ignore so it takes the Best In Test win, but what a battle.

To the forks, this way!

SINGLE CROWN ROYALTY

Brains and brawn.

The next evolution of single crown awesome is here. We created a whole new breed of fork, designed to challenge the limits and take on the world’s toughest enduro tracks. ZEB’s stiff yet versatile 38mm chassis and machined good looks pack a punch and deliver a clear tactical advantage to win races.

NOTHING ELSE MEASURES UP

Built to match the new generation of long-travel, hard-hitting mountain machines. ZEB’s bold design is built to withstand the gnarliest enduro tracks, death grip speeds, relentless rock gardens, raw corners, steep chutes, and one heck of a good time. From Rampage glory to Enduro World Series titles, there isn’t much ZEB has left to prove.

WHEN THE GOING GETS ROUGH...

... ZEB PLOWS RIGHT THROUGH IT. The new world order of enduro racing has raised all the limits. Holding every critical line, when it matters the most, has never been more important. ZEB’s chassis design maximizes bushing overlap, reducing friction and keeping your fork sliding perfectly smooth. No matter how rough the terrain, ZEB gives you the confidence to plow right through it.

NEW TECHNOLOGIES

Starting from scratch means all cards are on the table; nothing’s off-limits. Charger 3 will set the new standard for all damper designs to imitate. It’s a whole different beast from top to bottom.

Low amplitude, vibration-reducing compliant material pucks... but we like to call them ButterCups.

Why change a good thing? To make it unbeatable. DebonAir+ was born out of our tireless obsession to optimize air spring performance and deliver a supreme ride feel with consistency you can trust.

MAXIMA PLUSH DYNAMIC SUSPENSION LUBE

Multiple game-changing innovations that were designed, tested, and developed symbiotically to work together in maximizing friction reduction throughout the entire system.

FENDER MOUNTS

Fender integration becomes a breeze. Featuring a new RockShox 3-bolt fender, on all models.

E-MTB’s are pushing boundaries far and wide, that’s why we test this fork to pass (and exceed) the industry’s leading E-MTB standards.

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

Riders of any size benefit from the extra strength to send it without needing the extra hours in the gym. It all comes down to a critical balance between stiffness and weight (something our engineers love to obsess over). ZEB’s robust 38mm chassis delivers the perfect blend. Increased sensitivity, greater steering precision, and the ability to go faster, corner harder, and stay in control. ZEB crosses the line in a stiffness category of its own.

WORTH THE WEIGHT

A lean, mean, fighting machine. ZEB’s aggressive good looks add stiffness in all the right places while maintaining meaningful compliance where required. Even on this heavy-hitting fork, we know gram counting makes a difference. We’ve chiseled away anything extra without compromising the integrity of ZEB’s design.

The Fox 34 might be the most versatile fork in the Fox lineup. It could be raced in cross country races or set at 140/150mm for aggressive trail riding. The Fox 34 still has two chassis versions, the Fox 34 and the Fox 34SC (step cast). Both get the update but almost start to become two different forks. The Fox 34 features 34mm uppers and a travel range of 120-140mm stock. Only 29” wheels and boost 15 x 110mm hub spacing will be available. For 2022 a lot has changed on the 34, it is basically an entirely new fork to be honest. From the chassis and the design, you get the new arch shape offering more clearance on the headtube and a 58mm crown. Both save weight and stiffen up the chassis. Also new is an updated EVOL air spring to give you more support yet still that buttery feeling off the top. Weight for this new 34 is 1,698g, saving over 70g from the previous 2021 model. The 34 Step-Cast Factory is the choice for riders who want an all-round fork that performs in a vast range of applications: lightweight for climbs and highly capable for demanding terrain with enough travel to instill confidence when the trail gets rough. Weight savings are attributed to external lower casting steps, hollow lower section, and shortened shaft lengths.

The Fox 34 might be the most versatile fork in the Fox lineup. It could be raced in cross country races or set at 140/150mm for aggressive trail riding. The Fox 34 still has two chassis versions, the Fox 34 and the Fox 34SC (step cast). Both get the update but almost start to become two different forks. The Fox 34 features 34mm uppers and a travel range of 120-140mm stock. Only 29” wheels and boost 15 x 110mm hub spacing will be available. For 2022 a lot has changed on the 34, it is basically an entirely new fork to be honest. From the chassis and the design, you get the new arch shape offering more clearance on the headtube and a 58mm crown. Both save weight and stiffen up the chassis. Also new is an updated EVOL air spring to give you more support yet still that buttery feeling off the top. Weight for this new 34 is 1,698g, saving over 70g from the previous 2021 model. The 34 Step-Cast Factory is the choice for riders who want an all-round fork that performs in a vast range of applications: lightweight for climbs and highly capable for demanding terrain with enough travel to instill confidence when the trail gets rough. Weight savings are attributed to external lower casting steps, hollow lower section, and shortened shaft lengths.

How much suspension travel do I need on my mountain bike?

From cross-country to downhill, we take you through how much travel you can expect on the major types of mountain bike

Andy Lloyd / Our Media

Mountain bikes feature different amounts of suspension travel depending on the type of riding they're designed for.

Suspension travel describes the amount of movement a suspension fork or rear shock has. It is usually a measurement of how far the wheel axle moves in a vertical or near-vertical plane as the suspension compresses.

Depending on the discipline of riding the bike is designed for, the suspension travel can vary from 80 to 200mm. While more travel may seem better, helping you soak up lumps and bumps, it can be a hindrance if your riding includes lots of climbing or you benefit from a light, responsive bike.

This means deciding on the right amount of travel for your needs can be difficult, but there are a few factors to keep in mind, including your riding style and the type of trails and terrain you'll be tackling.

Bike manufacturers design their mountain bikes around different travel lengths, tailored to specific terrains or riding disciplines, and categorise the bikes accordingly. As a result, looking at the different categories of mountain bikes, their intended application and travel length is a handy way to determine how much travel you need and what bike you should get.

In this guide, we’ll explain the different mountain bike categories and how much suspension travel they typically have.

Cross-country mountain bikes

The best cross-country mountain bikes are designed to compete in high-level, fast races, where lightness and pedalling efficiency are often the keys to success.

Typically, cross-country bikes have featured 80 to 100mm of travel. Because cross-country race courses have become more extreme and technical, it is now common to see bikes designed around 120mm travel front and rear, such as Scott’s Spark RC .

Using less suspension travel than other mountain bikes means cross-country bikes can be built with a lighter frame construction because less reinforcement is needed to deal with the lower frame articulation. This helps riders race up the kinds of inclines that characterise XC races .

The short-travel forks used on cross-country bikes also help to keep weight down because they utilise a lighter chassis and narrower stanchions, usually 30 to 32mm in diameter.

Stanchions are the part of the fork connected to the crown and remain rigid to the bike while the lowers move up and down over them.

The trade-off for this weight saving comes in the form of fork flex, which impacts the directness of steering inputs and the overall ability of the fork to perform in gnarlier terrain as friction levels build on the seals.

A short-travel fork will also run out of travel quicker compared to one with more travel. Although setup and damper performance will dictate a lot of factors in how proficiently it absorbs bumps, less travel means it won't absorb bigger bumps as well as a long-travel fork.

Hardtail mountain bikes are also well-represented in cross-country, because rigid frames allow for the highest pedalling efficiency. However, the traction and descending ability of full-suspension bikes make them desirable to many riders.

Downcountry mountain bikes

Downcountry bikes aim to balance a cross-country bike's efficiency with a trail bike's downhill capability.

‘Downcountry’ is a relatively new mountain bike discipline and isn’t that well defined as a result. But in terms of suspension, these bikes range from beefed up cross-country at 110mm of travel, to lightweight trail with around 130mm front and rear travel.

Having slightly more travel than an outright cross-country bike means downcountry bikes are more capable on descents. However, with shorter travel than trail bikes, they still offer greater pedalling efficiency than burlier bikes.

Downcountry bike frames can be made lighter than trail bikes because the demand on the frame is less. This means they require less material in their construction because they don’t require the same amount of strength as a trail or enduro bike needs.

Downcountry bikes usually feature stronger, stiffer forks, with thicker stanchions, usually 34mm in diameter. This gives higher levels of rigidity to the fork, making steering inputs more direct, although concessions are still made to weight savings.

Trail mountain bikes

Trail bikes are one of the most popular types of mountain bike. They are designed to straddle the line between enduro bikes and cross-country bikes, providing a ride that’s fun but capable.

Confident on descents and fairly capable on climbs, trail bikes typically have between 120 and 160mm of suspension travel.

Trail bikes at the longer end of the suspension-travel spectrum cross the boundary into all-mountain. Typically, these bikes will feature beefier frame construction to deal with the added suspension travel.

The optimum amount of travel depends on what terrain or trails you like to ride, and where you’d like to progress with your riding. 140mm is ideal for even the toughest trail centres, with more travel being required for gnarlier ambitions.

Forks with mid-sized stanchions, either 34mm, 35mm or 36mm in diameter, are common on trail bikes. These shift the balance away from lightness toward rigid stability for better handling while descending. Less flexibility in the fork will mean more direct steering input, making the bike feel more planted through the rough stuff.

Enduro mountain bikes

Enduro bikes are designed to meet the demands of enduro racing , which consists of multiple downhill stages that riders have to reach within a set time limit. As a result, enduro bikes have to perform well on technical descents while providing a decent pedalling platform to get you to the top of the trail in good time.

Travel for enduro bikes starts at 150mm and ranges up to 180mm. There is a 190mm-travel version of RockShox’s enduro-focused ZEB fork, but you’re more likely to see this attached to a freeride or bike park bike.

Enduro bikes require a burly frame construction in order to cope with the demands of downhill trails.

Head tubes have to be stronger to deal with the extra force coming from the long-travel fork, while the rear linkage has to be able to support the extra articulation.

This added frame construction makes the frame heavier, impacting efficiency when going uphill, but the pay-off is worth it when coming back down.

Forks within this travel range prioritise rigidity over weight savings, with thicker stanchions of 36mm to 38mm, providing direct steering inputs and a solid feel as you ride over gnarly terrain.

Downhill mountain bikes

Downhill bikes are designed for, you guessed it, riding downhill. The discipline doesn’t require the bike to be pedalled on uphill or even flat terrain, enabling designers to focus solely on providing the best platform for descending steep and technical trails.

These bikes feature some of the longest suspension travel, ranging from 180 to 200mm, helping to protect riders from large, repeated impacts.

Frames have to be built to the highest strength levels to cope with the impacts you experience on downhill trails. Although downhill frames are heavier than those intended for other disciplines, it's less important to have light frames because you’re not pedalling them uphill.

Downhill forks feature the thickest stanchion, ranging from 35 to 40mm in diameter, because they deal with the most extreme terrain and require the greatest rigidity.

Weight isn’t a big issue for downhill bikes, so the added heft is worth the trade-off for the performance gains.

The forks on downhill bikes have a dual-crown design, meaning the fork mounts above and below the head tube, as opposed to single-crown forks, which mount only from below. This adds more torsional stiffness to the fork, helping to keep steering inputs direct through the toughest terrain and providing strength for big impacts.

Electric mountain bikes

Electric mountain bikes are heavy, even compared to downhill bikes. The added weight a battery and motor bring means frames as well as components have to be engineered to cope with the extra weight – and contribute even more weight to the bike in the process.

Electric bikes can be categorised by the other disciplines featured in this article and will tend to feature the travel of that discipline.

The best electric mountain bikes will feature e-MTB specific forks and shocks, some with thicker stanchions for rigidity, and custom tunes that are suited to the heavier weight of the bike.

Because you’ll have a motor, there won’t be a trade-off in having a bike with more travel (and therefore weight), with the bike taking up the burden on the hills.

What about hardtail mountain bikes?

Hardtail mountain bikes have a suspension fork and a rigid rear end. They can be seen in a variety of disciplines, though are mainly represented in the cross-country and trail disciplines. They are also popular when it comes to budget mountain bikes because the simplicity of their design and less suspension means less cost.

As with other types of mountain bikes, fork travel is usually dependent on discipline. Cross-country hardtails typically have 100mm of travel, but more aggressive hardtails can have suspension travel of up to 150mm.

Some manufacturers will design frames with flex points in the rear triangle, allowing for vertical compliance in the frame. This improves comfort when sat in the saddle, and to a smaller extent rear-wheel traction while climbing.

OUR ENGINEERS’ GREATEST HITS

Not all frames are created equal. Hightower represents Santa Cruz’s greatest hits, showcasing our design, engineering, and performance prowess.

LOWER LINK ASSEMBLY

The highly-sculpted and optimized Lower Link (A) houses a geometry adjusting Flip Chip (B) and beefy Pivot Axle s (C) to virtually eliminate lateral flex.

UPPER LINK ASSEMBLY

We only use the highest quality Enduro MAX or TPX sealed, radial bearings (A) and premium fasteners (B) for our linkage assemblies. They’re easy to properly torque and maintain, plus we offer free replacement bearings for life.

ONE-PIECE SWINGARM

VPP suspension utilizes a one-piece swingarm that eliminates the need for pivots on the stays, creating a stout, bulletproof rear end for accurate tracking and superior performance.

C AND CC CARBON

Santa Cruz offers two grades of carbon—top-end CC Carbon and value-minded C Carbon. Though they have the same stiffness and performance, CC is lighter and comes paired with more premium suspension.

CARBON MASTERY

The Sag Window (A), Glovebox (B) and internal cable tunnels (not shown) demonstrate Santa Cruz’s expertise at combining practical function with carbon design and manufacturing artistry.

THE SUM OF THE PARTS

In isolation, all these things are great—together with fanatical suspension tuning, a premium build spec, and a meticulous attention-to-detail, they’re transcendent.

Please note: Price, Weight, and Parts Spec information is subject to change.

SRAM Eagle Transmission - stronger, better shifting, wirelessly

The next generation SRAM Eagle Transmission specced on our CC-carbon models is a radically robust, fully integrated and interdependent wireless transmission. Built around the universal constant of the wheel axle itself, the Full Mount hangerless attachment creates a far stronger connection to the frame and the super strong derailleur provides unprecedented strength. Shifting under load is made possible due to a combination of X-SYNC technology and cassette mapping, creating seamless shifts even during your hardest power output. The new AXS Pods are extremely ergonomic and highly customizable, so shifting gears is light and intuitive. It's simply the most advanced transmission and nearly as tough as the mountain itself.

All units are in millimeters or degrees.

Frame Sizing

If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes, the absolute best thing is to try to ride them both. At a minimum, check the stack/reach measurements on your current bike and compare it to the new model you are looking at to get an idea of a fit you are already comfortable with. If riding the bike is not an option, consider the following.

The Hightower is available in sizes small - extra extra large (S-XXL).

Personal Preference

Body dimension, dropper post compatibility.

Hightower 3 Highlights

VPP™ suspension can be optimized to strike the right balance between pedaling efficiency and all-out bump chomping prowess. That means wherever you see "VPP" you know it's tuned to perform exactly how it should for the purpose it's designed for.

145mm VPP travel

Looking for something good at climbing, and downhill, and going round and round your local trails? Say hello to Hightower. 145mm in the rear paired with 150mm up front is your perfect combo.

Suspension sensitivity

Compared to the last Hightower, we reduced the anti-squat in the first 40% of travel. This noticeably improves suspension sensitivity in both climbing and descending scenarios due to reduced chain influence on the suspension.

Suspension consistency

Hightower's leverage curve is relatively straight, with added progression towards the end of the travel. This provides improved bottom-out resistance with more consistent damping and support.

Place your ride essentials securely beneath a new high-quality latch and panel in the Hightower's downtube. The Glovebox comes with a fitted Tool Wallet and Tube Purse, tailored for the frame to keep your tools close to hand.

Full carbon C and CC frame

CC frames use the very best materials and production processes available. Our size-specific frame stiffness standards help tie together our ride quality goals by achieving a tailored front triangle flex characteristic for every size.

A window allows easier suspension sag and setup. The details are completed by a neat mud flap to protect the rear shock plus tidy cable routing within the frame and swingarm, and rubberized DT protectors to shrug off strikes.

In the Low position, the shock rate becomes more progressive, particularly at the end of the stroke, and there’s some bottom-out resistance to be gained. In the High setting, the bike rides a little higher in its travel and supplies the rider with more mid-stroke support. Tweakers and finicky shredders can adapt the suspension feel to their needs and desire.

Proportional geometry

Chainstay length and seat angle is matched to the frame size so every rider, no matter their height, gets the same balanced geometry. Across all sizes however, the headtube angle has been slackened to help stability at speed, lowered the bottom bracket to compliment the better supported suspension, and increased stack in favor of modern handlebar setups.

29-inch wheels

Hightower features fast-rolling, bump-easing 29-inch wheels front and rear. On high-end builds we spec Reserve 30|HD carbon rims laced to premium hubs, which are built and hand-tuned in our Santa Cruz, Calif. factory. See Reserve 30|HD wheels

The long front end, slack head angle, and short rear end gives you the confidence to try new lines, while the steep seat tube angle and shorter offset fork makes it easy to maneuver technical climbs and flowy singletrack.

Revised Swingarm

The Ripley V4S features a new UDH derailleur for maximum future compatibility and moves to a 55mm chain line. The wider chain line allows for a stiffer chainstay.

Since 2005, we’ve partnered with suspension guru Dave Weagle on the dw-link suspension platform. It provides an unparalleled combination of climbing efficiency and downhill performance, that has been proven repeatedly at the highest levels of racing.

Long Dropper Post

We use names like small, medium, and large to describe our sizing because it’s easy to understand, but our ultra low standovers and clearance for long droppers give you the ability to size based on reach.

Lightweight premium carbon, for everyone

Whether you order an XX1 or SLX kit, you’ll get the same premium carbon fiber frame. All our bikes are built from the highest grade materials and optimized for the best strength, weight, stiffness, and ride performance. The Ripley weighs 5 lbs without shock.

Fork Offset

Sometimes, shorter is better. Instead of the typical 51mm offset, the new Ripley uses a 44mm offset. This gives you the stability of a slacker head angle, while retaining the BMX like feel of, well, a Ripley.

2.6" Tire Clearance

We pioneered the wide rim revolution a few years ago and inspired a new crop of wider 2.4” - 2.6” tires. When paired together, this combo can be run at ultra low pressures that produce elbow-dragging cornering traction without sacrificing speed.

Removable ISCG05 Mount

There if you want it, removable if you don’t.

Internal Cable Tunnels

Internal cable routing used to be a pain in the ass but our internal tubes make routing easy. Just pop the housing through and it comes out the other end, no need for swear words or a pickset.

Protect your investment

A thick rubber downtube protector deflects debris, while our chainstay protector features thick raised sections to help dampen chain slap noise. And our simple-yet-elegant linkage protectors stop mud and rocks thrown by the tire, keeping your beautiful bike beautiful.

Lifetime Warranty

If it's our fault, we'll fix it. Simple as that.

Ripley Specific FAQs

All our manuals are available here. You can also find the Quick Setup guide for the Ripley in the 'Setup' tab on the right.

There are two different tunes for the Ripley shock. Our standard tune and a light tune.

Since August of 2019, we have been shipping small and medium Ripleys with the light tune. To identify the light tune, find the four digit code on the shock. Here are the light tune codes: DZGP, DZGN or DZGM. The standard codes are DXBC, DWSL and DWRC.

Nearly everyone under 160 pounds should use the light tune. Above that and you will want the firmer tune.

Some lighter riders may prefer the standard tune if any of these describe your riding:

• Your riding style has a lot of jumping and you want more rebound control on landings
• You have a lot of really long downhills and don't want to overheat the shock
• You are a Semi Pro or above DH racer

Fox, or an authorized Fox service center can revalve your shock for you if you want to go with a different tune.

The dual eccentrics offered an efficient pedaling platform and supple suspension feel, but they took up valuable real estate in the seat tube. To make the Ripley compatible with the new crop of long dropper posts, we’ve transitioned to an all new Ripmo inspired chassis. In the process, we’ve significantly reduced the frame weight and increased stiffness.

Our stock build comes with a 130mm fork but you could pair it with a 120mm stepcast fork to create a BC Bike Race weapon. Or, throw on a 140mm fork and burly tires to build a lightweight enduro bike.

Yes, but the bike is optimized around a 44mm. The 51mm offset fork shortens the trail (the distance between the contact patch and the steering axis), which can cause the front end to feel less stable.

The size small and medium frames ship stock with the Traction Tune.

No. The leverage ratio on the Ripley is not coil-compatible.

The Ripley can accommodate up to a 29” x 2.6” tire.

The max chainring for a Ripley is a 34t.

Yes, the max size oval chainring we recommend is a 32T. Not all oval chainrings are the same, so we recommend double checking clearance before installation.

Ripleys fit 26 oz Purist bottles on all sizes when the Arundel side loader cage is used.

The Ripley frame weighs 5.4 lbs without the shock. Complete builds start at 25.5 lbs.

You can find torque specs for the Ripley in the tab on the right.

170mm crank on small and medium.

175mm crank on large and extra large.

40mm stem on small.

50mm stem on medium, large and extra large.

The Ripley V4S and Ripley V4 (Matte Braaap, Steel Blue) have 160mm post mount rear brake mounts.

To run a 180mm rotor on the Ripley V4 and Ripley V4S, you'll use the following Shimano part number: SM-MA-F180P / P2

To run a 203mm rotor on the Ripley V4 and Ripley V4S, you'll use the following Shimano part number: SM-MA-F203P / P

For more information, the following is a link to the adaptor chart .

*Please note, the Ripley and Ripmo (carbon or aluminum) are not compatible with rotors larger than 203mm

Bikes with a Sram UDH derailleur hanger require a crankset capable of achieving a 55mm chainline.

55mm chainline cranksets include:

• Sram Dub Wide Cranksets.
• Shimano 120 Series Cranksets.

A variety of other manufacturers offer 55mm chainline cranksets. Verify with your preferred crankset manufacturer before purchasing and installing.

Check out our Bottom Bracket installation guide for 55mm chainline cranksets here .

Bikes with a Sram UDH derailleur hanger (Ripley V4S and Ripmo V2S) are 55mm chainline. The Exie is an exception to this rule and utilizes 52mm chainline cranksets.

Bikes with the Ibis 142/148 derailleur hanger (AFs and past models) are 52mm chainline. The Hakka MX has a 45-47.5mm chainline depending on the brand/model of the crankset.

While 52mm chainline cranksets with 28T-30T chainrings may clear the frame, it’s best to utilize a crankset capable of achieving the corresponding chainline to your frame. This will ensure the best shift quality and allow the use of larger chain rings. Always double check chainring clearance and fitment prior to riding.

If your Ripley has a Sram UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) it is considered a Ripley V4S. Please note, a number of Matte Braaap Ripley’s shipped with the new swingarm design and UDH. Please verify your derailleur hanger variant before ordering replacement parts. You can use our handy guide to help identify your model.

Many of our paints are available online via My Perfect Color. Some automotive retailers have the ability to custom match paint.

The PMS color codes for our frames are:

• Primary Color: YS 9319 + pearl (G)
• Accent Color: PMS 447

Dropper Post Saddle Height Calculations

Do not try to insert your post deeper than these measurements. Forcing the post can result in a seat tube failure.

IMPORTANT: Before riding, check the saddle to tire clearance with the dropper post fully dropped and the air out of the shock with frame compressed to bottom out.

Stunning. Great read. Many thanks.

Does is quite easy to modified the old bike into new bike, I think is more challenging to give design to old one, but i could not believe on my eye when i saw the modified yamaha, it was something new which i have not seen in my life. Dream Bikes

Does is quite easy to comment in English..

Does is quite easy to enjoy the hell out of this bike. Amazing work sir.
