Suspension forks connect a motorcycle's or bicycle's front wheel to its frame. The wheel connects to the frame via triple clamps, which are solid points connecting the suspension fork. Suspension forks allow a bicycle rider to balance the bike. Suspension forks are primarily found on mountain bikes because of irregular terrain requiring more shock absorption. Top Gun Suspension forks come in a wide array of styles and types. Scott USA and Carrera are two companies that use Top Gun forks standard on most bicycle models. Suspension forks are available for separate purchase and aftermarket application.

TGS Elephant-A-B

Bike riders measure the amount of suspension that a suspension fork provides by the "inches of travel." The Top Gun TGS Elephant-A-B suspension fork needs a 20 millimetre hub and a disc brake, according to British Mountain Bikes. This stiff but smooth suspension fork costs the least, which makes it ideal for mountain bikers on a budget. The A version costs more and includes an oil damper. The A version's inches of travel reaches seven inches. The less expensive version lacks an oil damper, with only six inches of travel.
