Key benefits Smoother, more controlled ride across mixed surfaces: 100 mm spring travel absorbs bumps on city streets, gravel paths, and light trails. Better pedaling efficiency when you need it: manual lockout lets you stiffen the fork for flats, climbs, or faster sections. Tunable feel: preset rebound adjustment button lets you control how quickly the fork returns after impact, so you can dial softness or firmness to match terrain and riding style. Fast wheel removal and compatibility: quick release (QR 9 mm x 100 mm) supports rapid front-wheel changes and standard hub fittings. Brake system flexibility: designed to work with V-brake and disc brake setups.

Practical use scenarios 1) Commuting and urban rides: Lock the fork for efficient pedaling on smooth pavement, unlock and use rebound tuning for rough city streets and speed bumps. Quick-release axle makes wheel removal easy for transport or flat repairs. 2) Gravel and light off-road: The 100 mm travel soaks up stones and ruts; adjust rebound to keep the front wheel planted and responsive over varied surfaces. 3) Replacement/upgrade on compatible bikes: Swap in this fork to add suspension, lockout, and rebound control to a rigid fork-equipped bike that accepts a 1-1/8" straight steerer and 9x100 QR axle. What to check before buying Confirm your bike accepts a 1-1/8" straight (28.6 mm) unthreaded steerer. Verify front hub spacing and axle type (QR 9 x 100 mm). Ensure your frame’s brake mounts are compatible with V-brake or disc brake systems. This fork provides adjustable suspension control, compatibility with common front-end standards, and easy wheel access—making it a practical choice for riders who need a versatile front suspension solution for mixed-surface riding.
