HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Hook: Those massive shocks on a mountain bike are essentially just tightly sealed metal balloons. Explanation: Instead of heavy metal coil springs, modern suspension forks use pressurized air chambers to absorb violent impacts from rocks and tree roots. The rider can pump more air in to stiffen the ride or let air out for a softer bounce.
