Popular makers of suspension forks include Cannondale, Fox, SR Suntour, Manitou, Marzocchi, and RockShox. [7] Suspension fork design has advanced in recent years with suspension forks becoming increasingly sophisticated and diverse in design. The amount of suspension travel available has increased over time.
The amount of travel available has typically increased. When suspension forks were introduced, 80–100 mm of travel was deemed sufficient for a downhill mountain bike. This amount of travel is now common for cross-country disciplines, whereas downhill forks typically offer 200 mm or more of travel for handling the most extreme terrain.
A Suntour Sprint rear derailleur A front derailleur manufactured by Suntour a pair of Suntour road brakes. In 1964, Suntour invented the slant-parallelogram rear derailleur. The parallelogram rear derailleur had gained prominence after Campagnolo's introduction of the "Gran Sport" in 1949, [7] [8] and the slant-parallelogram was an improvement of it that allowed the derailleur to maintain a ...
A downhill bike (also known as a downhill mountain bike) is a full suspension bicycle designed for downhill cycling on particularly steep, technical trails. Unlike a typical mountain bike, durability and stability are the most important design features, compared to lighter, more versatile cross-country bikes.
Less commonly 31.8 mm (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) was used on some mountain bikes and tandems and has now returned on some carbon fiber forks, and 38.1 mm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) is found on high end Downhill bikes. A threadless stem should match the outside diameter of the steerer tube; a reducing shim may be employed to match a 28.6 mm ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 8 in) stem ...
The fork was made from chrome moly steel. The componentry on the SM-500 was a mixture of parts from Shimano Deore XT, Suntour, Specialized and Dia-Compe. The bike had a 3x5 drive train offering 15 gears, and cantilever brakes in the front and U-brakes in back.
