State Bicycle Co has released the All-Road Suspension Fork, featuring 40mm of travel, a crown-mounted lockout and a stealthy appearance, all for just $450.<\/p>\n

The 1.6kg suspension fork is the first from the brand, which is better known for its gravel framesets and affordable singlespeed bikes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Suspension is a growing trend<\/a> on gravel bikes<\/a>, and the All-Road Suspension Fork looks to be one of the cheapest on the market.<\/p>\n

The All-Road Suspension Fork uses an air spring, providing 40mm of travel<\/a>. This is similar to the RockShox Rudy XPLR fork, and like the Rudy, the All-Road uses 30mm stanchions.<\/p>\n

State Bicycle Co says it has incorporated a minimalist design and \u201crobust functionality\u201d into the All-Road. The fork features a stealth black finish with 6000 series and 7075 series aluminium in the fork\u2019s construction, which should give it high corrosion resistance.<\/p>\n

The fork has a flat brake mount, making it compatible with most gravel groupsets<\/a>. Brake hoses are routed externally via a clip on the bridge of the fork.<\/p>\n

The 12x100mm thru-axles should make it compatible with a host of the best gravel wheels<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The crown of the fork features a turn-key lockout on the right-hand side and an air valve on the left.<\/p>\n

We haven\u2019t been told what other adjustments the fork features, though it\u2019s common to see rebound adjust on air forks.<\/p>\n

State Bicycle Co says the fork has clearance for a 58mm-wide 700c tyre or a 2.3in-wide 650b tyre.<\/p>\n

The brand claims its new fork tips the scales at 1,600g, which is about 350g heavier than the claimed weight of RockShox\u2019s Rudy Ultimate XPLR<\/a> at 1,250g. Considering the RockShox fork costs $779, that\u2019s impressive.<\/p>\n

Slacker geometry<\/h2>\n

State Bicycle Co says its All-Road Suspension Fork will slacken the head angle of most bikes, providing greater stability on high-speed descents, with a rake of 52mm.<\/p>\n

It should be mentioned that you should always check with your frame manufacturer for suspension fork<\/a> compatibility, or you could be at risk of voiding your warranty.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
