2009 Headshok Forks
From our first full-suspension bike to the maverick design of the Lefty, Cannondale draws upon its suspension heritage to offer integrated suspension platforms that are only possible when you develop the frame and fork as a single system. Our engineers start each project planning bikes as a single unit - not as a collection of parts.

  • At a sub-3 lbs. weight, this fork is lighter than most 100 mm travel forks but with the steering precision and supple feel envied by trail riders.

  • Intuitive Push-Button Rebound and Lockout (PBR) system: the blue button engages the lockout, the red dial returns suspension action and adjusts rebound.

  • Solo Air technology provides a self-adjusting negative spring and shaves 40 grams.

  • Single-sided fork technology allows the Lefty to be more torsionally stiff than double-stanchion forks.
