There are generally three types of bicycle shock absorbers. Spring shock absorbers, inflatable shock absorbers, and acrylic shock absorbers.
1. Spring shock absorber: It is the structure with the most obvious shock absorber effect. The spiral spring is made of steel wires of different sizes and thicknesses, which are made into a spiral shape. When subjected to force, it will compress, giving the front fork shock absorption function. It can absorb the impact of the road surface, then restore its original state and prepare for the next impact. The advantages are long service life, low malfunctions, and easy maintenance. The biggest drawback is its heavy weight.
2. Inflatable shock absorbers: In today's technologically advanced world, using air as a shock absorber spring has become a reality. By inflating a sealed space inside the front fork of the shock absorber, air can be used as a spring. Advantage one, air is much lighter than coil springs, and advantage two, the pressure change inside the front fork can provide a wider range of adjustment functions for different cyclists. Unlike spiral spring forks, which require disassembly and replacement of springs to meet the functional needs of cyclists for the front fork.
3. Uni rubber shock absorbers: Uni rubber spring shock absorbers were previously commonly used as shock absorbers for mountain bikes, but now they are very rare. Youli adhesive is made of polyurethane material, with a light weight and simple structure, and relatively low maintenance requirements. However, due to the increasing number of bicycle trips in recent years, Uni Gel has had to withdraw from the market due to its own shortcomings. Because this material needs to be stacked very high to achieve the shock absorption effect of long-term cycling, it cannot be compared to springs and air forks.
So, when you want to buy a bicycle, you should calmly and carefully consider, the best is what suits you, and not spend unnecessary money just because of the pursuit of lightweight.
