Bike Forks

Bike Forks play a crucial role in handling, comfort, and control. At The Outdoor Warehouse, we stock a wide range of suspension forks, rigid forks, and carbon forks designed to match every riding style — from cross-country climbs to downhill domination.

Whether you’re upgrading your trail bike, tuning a gravel rig, or building a custom road setup, our selection includes air and coil forks, tapered steerer options, and thru-axle compatibility from trusted brands. Each fork we carry is chosen for its performance, precision, and fitment reliability.

Pro Tip

Match your fork travel to your frame’s geometry for optimal performance. Increasing fork travel can raise your bottom bracket and slacken the head angle, improving downhill stability — while shorter travel improves responsiveness for XC or road setups. Always confirm axle spacing, steerer tube type, and brake mount compatibility before upgrading.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between air and coil forks?
Air forks use adjustable air pressure for tunable performance and lighter weight. Coil forks use a steel spring for consistent feel and durability, ideal for aggressive downhill or freeride riding.
Can I replace my rigid fork with a suspension fork?
Yes, but ensure compatibility with your bike’s geometry and head tube type. Adding suspension can change handling and stack height — always check manufacturer recommendations.
What is fork travel, and how does it affect performance?
Fork travel is the distance your suspension compresses under load. More travel offers comfort and control on rough trails, while less travel provides efficiency and precision for climbs or road rides.
Are carbon forks durable enough for everyday use?
Yes — modern carbon forks are designed for strength, vibration absorption, and stiffness. They’re ideal for road and gravel bikes, offering a balance of comfort and control.
How often should I service my suspension fork?
Light service (dust wipers, oil refresh) is recommended every 50 hours of riding. Full service intervals vary by brand but generally fall between 100–200 hours.
