A suspension fork plays a key role in the performance of a bike, it determines grip and traction, safety and comfort. A new suspension fork can breathe new life into an old bike. The fork installed often plays an important role in the decision in favour of or against a complete bike. To give you the best possible overview of the current forks, we shipped 29 models to La Palma. Under ideal test conditions, ten forks each from the marathon corner and the all-mountain camp faced the criticism of the testers. Nine test subjects came from the enduro fork field.
