Mountain bike front fork classification

Mountain bike fork can be divided into spring, oil, oil and gas, double gas.

Spring: as the name implies, is to spring as the suspension medium.Its structure is simple, are generally have a spring in the side of the front fork, or have springs on both sides, usually the former. The fork the cost is low, the price is not expensive.The fork is generally has the function of soft and hard adjustment by compressing the spring to get different hardness and softness, at the same time, to loss. A nominal 80 mm fork tuned in to the hard cases, lose 20 mm or so.

Oil spring: to separate the word to understand: the oil resistance + spring. The fork is on the basis of the most high, on the other side of the spring increases the damping oil. Oil damping is to use oil adjust the speed of spring rebound. Such a fork on the basis of regulating soft hard commonly, have the springback adjusting at the same time, lock function, part has formed regulating function.

In general, the weight of a fork not advantage, but the lock function on the flat road and climbing can reflect a larger advantage.

Oil and gas: the similar to the above oil spring fork, just replace the spring as a suspension medium with pressure. To adjust the soft hard by pep talk. General to the driver, of different weight will have different pressure values.This kind of front fork by using air instead of spring, so the weight can be lighter, generally are below 1.8 kg. But relatively speaking, the price is higher, generally in 1500 yuan of above. This kind of fork also have a rebound, the function of the lock.

Double gas: it USES the positive and negative pressure, the fork lighter, weight is 1.6 KG. Relative prices higher, generally over 2 k.
